You can tell the older ones by their clasps, and I thought this one had a nice patina. Funny, I bought another pearl necklace at a garage sale in August. I am obviously attracted to them, so I guess I'd better wear them more often.
At another garage sale, I bought this silver plated 'made in England' egg cup.
$2. It seems too fancy to eat a boiled egg from. Especially when the yolk runs over the edge!
Otherwise, I purchased books. Lots and lots of books!
Another lover of British Mysteries must have cleared off their bookshelves and donated it all in one fell swoop to the Salvation Army. I found the first four books there for .25 cents. I bought Voices, an Icelandic mystery, at a garage sale for .25 cents, and the rest at a fundraising book sale for between $1 and $3. I was considering buying the Kate Morton books new, as I really enjoyed The House at Riverton, so I am happy I found them used! Now I have all my winter reading stacked and ready to go!
I am linking this post to Her Library Adventure's Flea Market Finds. Visit it for other blogger's thrifty finds.

I love the Kate Morton books - waiting for a new one....... Second hand books are the best - new is just crazy expensive!
I'm a mystery lover too (have a nearly complete Agatha Christie collection and started reading Ian Rankins in the lead up to our Scotland trip last fall) is that Icelandic myster good? I also love Kate Morton's books and have her novels thrifted as well.
