..and the shopping gods smile on me

I had some major shopping scores this weekend.

I got this beautiful silver necklace (originally from Mexico) for $40 from Stray Vintage down the block from my apt.

I got this lovely Queens Maptote, also from Stray. For $20 I now have a new gym bag!

And my best purchase of the weekend: a beautiful credenza for my apt entry way for $150 (+$35 delivery fee). I love the spindly legs! I’ve been searching for something like this for two years. I almost gave up and ordered something from IKEA  last weekend, but it paid to wait. I got it at the Salvation Army in Astoria, Queens. I was just walking by and saw them putting it out and had to wait around for them to write out a price tag. Then I had to basically sneak the delivery guys into the building since they don’t allow furniture deliveries on weekends, but it was all worth it!

It also came with the bookshelf piece that sits onto the credenza. Not sure if I prefer it like this, but I’m going to keep it for a while and see if I need the extra bookshelf space.
