Thrift Share Monday : Brooches and Braces and Pearls, oh my!

Welcome to my belated edition of Thrift Share Monday! A few bits and pieces were found, and I think they have a lot of pizzaz..


First, this nifty little brooch, with paste stones and black and yellow enamel:

A funky pair of '80s enamelled,wedge-shaped pierced earrings:

I found this wonderful pair of vintage men's braces - or suspenders, depending on where you're from ;) - modelled by my boyfriend!

..and of course, the aforementioned, if plastic, pearls:

I've been pleasantly surprised by what I've been finding in the markdowns or clearance sections of consignment shops. Although higher priced than your average thrift store find, there are bargains to be had and the items have already been cherry-picked for their condition and quality.
