Today I also have a few recent *good junque* finds to share.

This cool vintage tinsel tree was from the awesome estate sale I blogged about a few weeks ago, but I forgot to include the photo then. It's hard to tell from the picture, but the tinsel is a mix of magenta and orange, and the branches are actually loops. It sits in a glittered white wooden stand and is marked Italy. It came with one lone glittery bird still wired to the branch--wish I could have found the rest of the flock! This will probably end up in my etsy shop around the holidays because it's neat, but doesn't match my decor.

This jewelry set was a find from a small-town thrifting trip back in January. I bought it right before I took my blogging break so I never got around to sharing it, but I LOVE it so much that I just had to show it off! The bracelet is one of those funky hinged cuffs, and is made of brown plastic and set with dozens of gorgeous aurora borealis crystals. All of the crystals in the cuff and the matching earrings are intact and have their iridescent finish, which is rare for a piece with that many stones. It's gorgeous and was a steal at $7!

This last item was actually gifted to me by a sweet friend. She was changing her decor and remembered that I love old stuff, so thought I might like it. She was right! It's now displayed in Porter's bedroom, where I think it works well with the other vintage space-themed items, and the bright primary colors are just perfect!

I was able to get out and do some thrifting yesterday, thanks to a kind friend who invited Maren over for the morning to play with her girls. Found some good stuff, and when it's all washed/ironed I'll be sure to post it!
