Jewelry, Dots, and A Thrifted Remix

I wrote the other day about the Good Samaritan thrift store, and how wonderful the cashiers there are. I mentioned to them that my sister-in-law makes jewelry, and now whenever they put together bags of 'junk jewelry' they save it for me!

I look through the bags for anything I am in love with (which is usually a piece or two) and then pass the rest on to her :) (She's about to open an etsy shop with her handmade jewelry, and I'll definitely let you guys know when she has it up! She's great :))

Another thing I was super excited to find was the polka dot scarf above. It's long and skinny and silky like my yellow and white polka dot one that I absolutely love! (See outfits below, although I've probably worn it 10 more times that didn't get photographed!)
Thrifted Remix: Yellow Polka Dot Scarf

The cool navy nautical scarf shown with the dotted one will soon make it's way into the etsy shop, although maybe not until I get back from vacation :)

Do you ever thrift things for friends/family? I find that when I'm looking for someone else is when I have the most fun!

Always,
Amanda

  1. You always find the best scarves! And I loved how the yellow one is tied in the first picture - I think I said that the first time you posted it, but I'm gonna say it again - like a short, wide mens tie. So cute!
