Thrifted jewelry, but make it ✨vintage.✨
✨~ Heart shaped watch ring I found this ring a few years ago randomly sitting in a basket by the cash register at a local goodwill check out for $3. I snatched her up faster than a jack rabbit on a hot greasy griddle in the middle of August. 🍳🔥 ✨~ Cameo necklace Such a nostalgic piece for me.
