I bought this Christian Dior bag from a hospice store on Louie Botha for exactly R2. I was very flippin excited when I saw it, I think I may have even pushed a small child out of the way to get to it. No lies.

I also bought this beautiful brooch from the same place for R5. There is so much detail in it, even though it’s so small, it makes me very happy.

Sometimes secondhand stores are like going into a room made of ice-cream dipped in caramel and all you have on your hands is time and tolerance towards lactose that would make even Superman proud. Makes sense? Of course it does, this is the internet after all.

    Damn! I love hospice. Sometimes its good (I ALWAYS buy Dior belts and shirts for myself there! Hee.)

    I would have pushed a child out of the way too. Heck, I’ve pushed a real size person out of my way once!
