"Buy It Now" Marks the Spot

Rolling out of bed and putting on a pot of strong coffee is part of my daily routine. But leisurely eBay browsing sweetens the pot on weekends. The morning hours tick away as I search for "vintage sequins" or intentionally misspelling designer names to find a hidden treasure.

I'm trying to heed my "buy less" resolution, so I'll pass along a bit of temptation to you.

Vintage Deeply Carved Faux Ivory Clamper Cuff Bracelet
Current Bid: $19.99
Auction Ends: Jan 23, 2010 at 21:07:31 PST

Vintage Emilio Pucci Perfume Store Display Stand
Current Bid: $9.99
Auction Ends: Jan 24, 2010 at 13:00:17 PST

I think this could be repurposed into a bar accessory atop a bar cart. It'd take some work and you might need to remove some of the divider bars, but it could be fabulous.

Vintage Christian Dior Goldtone Belt 1950s
Current Bid: $11.50
Auction Ends: Jan 25, 2010 at 11:06:27 PST

Of course my morning would have been more productive if I had showered when I actually woke up - four hours earlier - but it would have been much less fun.

    I stayed in bed and read Oscar Wilde all morning, now I'm blogging and watching What Not to Wear. Maybe a shower in my future? You seem like an overachiever in comparison- at least you got coffee!

    Love eBay browsing as well, if only they separated all the junk away from good finds like this. Boy, would it make it a lot easier.
