Very cute bags!

Thanks Tuuli, I found out that Westwood bags are faked so I placed it on the authentication thread.

That is truly a nice Violin, DD will love it. It's always nice to have your very own instrument.

Every time I see a violin I stare and stare. I find them so beautiful! I was always so sad my school didn't have an orchestra, but only "band." I would have totally played the violin rather than the trombone. Yes! I played the trombone. I was first chair! Must have been my fabulous lips!

Beautiful violin. U Can get great deals on instruments on Craigslist.

I love your musical smiley!

Thank you so much for the suggestions! i will definitely start my hunt soon. Beautiful beautiful violin in such an amazing condition, congrats! your daughter will love it!

That violin is beautiful. I think they are really pretty instruments. Who would think to look on CL for that? Good job.

Thanks ladies! I can't wait to give it to her on Christmas morningresents

I have never seen a tee by L.A.M.B. before. Her items do have long tags like yours, so I doubt it was a freebie with her L.A.M.B. perfume. It must have been sold on its own. Cute!

I actually saw a few on eBay, with that tag. It said they were rare. I have never seen anything LAMB at the Thrift Store.

:welcome2: consignment stores, church run resale shops, garage sales, estate sales, local ad postings(just make certain to meet inside a very public spot...like Starbucks, grocery store or even police station. I have even found things I was looking for posted on the announcement cork board at my kids school, grocery store or in my office break room. If I really want something, I find that if I search then it is usually available significantly less second hand. The Treasure hunt is what is so fun!

DH and I found a lovely violin for DD for Christmas on Craigslist. She decided to play Violin in orchestra at school this year and I have been paying @$40 a month to rent one for her. This one came with two bows, a gorgeous new case with strap, lots of song books and instructional D vDs, and the stand for the books. She will be really excited to have her own Violin.

That is a tremendous find! So glad to see it finding a home where someone will play and love it!

I found a L.A.M.B. sweater but it was too big for me last winter at GW. It was exquisitely made!

That Isabella Fiore purse is so cute! What a steal for $2.

Sigh and envy here! That Givenchy find would have made me screech a little bit.

I think violins are beautiful too. I bought a pink one off ebay for cheap just to display . I'm sure the quality isn't great for playing, but it was only $40 total.

SUNDAY THRIFTING Please let me know if you know anything about these items.
LAMB red t-shirt (I know what LAMB is, but have no idea if the shirt has any significance)
JW Los Angeles pink embroidered tshirt
Transit brown pants. The material is really thin. I looked at the Lampo zipper and knew they were not cheap. I saw the name on the button when I took the picture of the zipper. They will be great, next Summer.

That tag on the LAMB shirt is very pretty...

Thanks guys I find I buy less when I thrift these days but everything I do get it really special. I used to buy everything based on the label but now I have to really love it for it to come home with me.

Pretty dress!

Wow! Great deal on the elie Saab
