To cheer myself after the social media incident I went to one of my favorite antique malls and invested in four blind date/mystery items. Two are blind date with a book bundles ($8.00 each), one is a bag of mystery bracelets ($10.00) and the fourth is just a big mystery box of something green ($2.50 because the booth was having a half off sale.)
The first blind date with a book bundle was labeled cozy mysteries, which I enjoy. I have not read either author so this was a nice surprise. I also got a bookmark, hand cream, tea, and stickers that were tucked in the folds of the wrapper.
The second blind date bundle. I have read this author before, who pretty much writes the same story over and over, and I really don't care for that. But that's the gamble with blind dates. To be fair I'll read these anyway.
The mystery bag of bracelets was the most expensive item, so I was hoping to be wowed.
And I was! I don't have a lot of silver bracelets, so I'm very happy to have these three. They're stretchy so I don't have to fumble with clasps, also a plus. The little polished rocks are pretty, and I even like the key used to embellish the bag.
I generally don't invest in mystery boxes that don't provide some sort of hint about the contents. That said, green is my favorite color, and I was willing to part with $2.50 to find out what was inside.
This was definitely unexpected: an instant collection of green glass jars and bottles, as well as a lidded trinket dish. I'm super delighted with everything.
