i LOVE going to estate sales. and the best part is that they are usually all day events so you don’t have to get up at an ungodly hour to get the good stuff. normally i would NEVER buy real fur (although i wear leather and eat meat so not sure why) but this fur stole was only $5.00! and it has clips at each end so you can clip it to any cardigan/jacket. who knows if i will ever wear it, but it was calling my name. and then i saw this wooden bead necklace for $3.00 but she gave it to me for $2.00 since we bonded over our love for louis vuitton. apparently you can get your initials monogrammed onto your favorite louis vuitton piece so she got both her and her daughter’s initials on her new bag. maybe i should get “eep” on mine….hmmmm.

    I love that fur stole! I have a few vintage coats with fur collars (one was my grandmother’s). Love!!

    I LOVE estate sales too, there’s something about getting a great deal on things you never knew you needed 🙂 Love that fur stole (although I’m not a fur owner either)! I started my search for a great faux fur piece last winter but didn’t find anything I loved. Maybe this fall I’ll have better luck.

    I’ve never been to an estate sale before! That fur stole is a real great find- I bet you can’t wait until it’s cold enough to wear it =)
