So yeah......

Every last un-bill allocated cent I have will now be going to debt. Both of my credit cards have hiked my rates (one DOUBLED!?!?!?!). They do not care that I have perfect payment history, nor my credit score is good enough to be financed on a home. It is due to "economic downturn, in the current economic climate". Yeah, smart move. Screw over the people that are already having trouble by upping their payments, and having less go to principal. Ugh.

So.....window shopping ONLY. Or trades, which is one of the things I feel very lucky I can do, having a trade skill and all.

Anyway, aside from me wanting to punch my 2 credit cards in the head, this blog is about jewels. I have become super obsessed with what I like to describe as estate jewelry. I mainly troll for this on e-bay. So here are some eye candy.









This last one is what is called a "trembler". Meaning not only does it look pretty but it actually moves, or trembles when you wear it. Years ago when I worked in an office downtown, I dropped off a flier to a jewelry store, and they happened to be cleaning one of these. The ladies that owned the store were fantastic and always liked to show my pretty things. It was much more massive, older, and valuable. It was the most beautiful peice of jewlery I have ever seen, and I doubt I will ever see again, since it was to be put back in the saftey deposit box where it lived.

Watch, and WTF UO?

I think this watch was made just for me!


Also WTF?? I was at the Forever 21 yesterday (and no, I did not purchase several shiny bow objects), and I saw these:

They were the low low made in China price of $3.80. I was just perusing Urban Outfitters and they are on there for $18.00. That is over 4x the price. WTF? I know things can fluctuate from retailer to retailer, but REALLY??? Which is also the reason that I only shop UO's uber clearance rack.

In other good news.....I just realized that I have not used my credit cards this year. Yeah!

Just in case you were wondering, yes, it is an inflatable moose head.
