Who Says Money Can’t Buy Happiness?

Meet the newest items that make me smile.
Life is simply not the same after I won this purse on eBay. When I think back I can’t imagine how it was like not having it. I have used it both times I went clubbing this weekend, and both mornings after I woke up terrified I had lost it. It’s still here with me and that makes me happy.
This dress is from H&M. When I saw it I knew I couldn’t continue life without it. It had just been put out on the racks. Once I grabbed it people came to ask me where to find it. Seconds later all the dresses were gone. I had to borrow money from a friend, which I hate doing, but this time I had to look past that. (Thanks Katt for lending me the money!)
This lamp was quite a bargain. I have always felt like my life would be just a little bit better if I had a white plastic lamp from the 60’s. They are usually expencive so those thoughts were well hidden. I found this at a flea market and paid a dollar for it. It’s like my little baby. I check on it now and then and never walk by it without smiling. Once I brought it into the apartment my life started to change to the better. 
This owl notes holder has been in my family for ages. One of our relatives in USA made it back in the 60’s and gave it to my mom. In 2005 she gave it away thinking its time had passed. I had no idea this had happened, but one day I suddenly found it in a secondhand store and I bought it back. I never knew it was missing, but now that it is back I can’t imagine not having it in my life.
How I have longed for a belt like this. Even though they are quite common I just never seemed to find one. And what else can you do in a situation like that than to turn to eBay? It’s so great when you find those items you have been searching years for, it’s like your life just gets a little bit closer to being complete.Having made all these great finds lately, you can imagine I am a happy person!

I think my mom used to have that same owl! Weird.

Haha, that so weird! It probably came in a kit with all things included, so I guess there might be more of them out there. :)

Did you end up selling that belt on ebay last year? I bought the exact same one on ebay and I can’t live without it now! I also own that dress from H&M and various owl accessories…
I randomly found your blog from Google, but I think we might be style sisters!
