I've been thrifting in the past few days. Truthfully, the finds haven't been the greatest and people are exceedingly disrespectful right now. It must be the financial hardship - people are desperate to find things to re-sell and it's like thrifting is one big competition. I'm blessed that I am currently receiving student covid-19 relief. I might stay away for a few weeks as thrifting is where I go to de-stress, not where I go to be stressed!

My finds:

Kate Spade metallic pouch $1.99
Kate Spade Jelly Shoes: $8.99
Vintage Kate Spade Makeup Pouch: $1.99
Coach Clutch: $16.99
Michael Kors: $15.00 something.
Coach Wristlet: $5.00 something.

I wanted this next item to get its very own post. I was checking out the showcase when my gaze fell upon an arrowhead necklace. I'm an archaeology student so I was able to verify the authenticity but it's impossible to date an arrowhead with typology alone. I'm thinking about bringing it into the lab at some point. Convex base, triangular shape, obsidian material. It's corner notched but it appears as if the notches have been filed down. I wouldn't be surprised if every edge was filed down as obsidian is sharp. Obsidian is not a naturally occurring resource where I live but we were apart of a trade route that supplied obsidian.

I just had my first case opened up against me on Poshmark. The item's packaging was damaged by Canada post. This buyer then went on to complain about a very small "stain" that was not "disclosed," but faint residue that can easily be wiped off. I think I need to stop reselling for a while.... this left a really bad taste in my mouth.

Wait, does Poshmark allow shipping from US to Canada?
