I picked this up recently at an antique market in Rome (Georgia, of course), it's hand carved bone Buddha faces. One thing I noticed when I looked at each of them is that each face is a little different from the other; but one in particular has more detail than the rest. In some ways I was kind of thrown off by that but then I grew to like that the most about the bracelet. One other thing about this bracelet is that I wear it almost every time I drive a further distance than I normally would. If I forget to put it on I have a really small Buddha statue in my car. It's not really a religious thing to me but it's almost like a small good luck charm to me, everyone can use a little luck, especially driving in Atlanta. It's funny because recently Mina and I were at Value Village looking at shoes and I remember asking her what she thought would be her best thrifting find. At the time both of us were really unsure of what ours were. Two days after I found these beauties. I have been on the hunt for these Justin roper boots FOREVER. I thought about (more like dreamt since I couldn't afford them) somehow buying the Urban Outfitters We Who See boots, but uh, unfortunately I don't have 78 dollars to drop on shoes. I searched ebay, etsy, various thrift stores and the original Justin boots (that the We Who See were obviously based off of) were ranging from anywhere around 35-100 dollars! Sheesh, second hand? C'mon. But finally, thrifting in Canton brought me upon them, the first time I looked through shoes I didn't see them and the second time I was just kind of browsing waiting for a dressing room and there they were. And they're in seriously the best condition. All for the price of 7 dollars, take that Urban Outfitters, Clothing Wearhouse, and various sellers online! Thank you whoever donated these and saved me amounts of money I don't even have. The best things come when you aren't looking. (We Who See boots)
That's all for tonight, sorry for the scatterbrained/rambling post but it's 3: 30 in the morning and I've definitely got sleep and some reading on my mind (American Psycho has been occupying me through these nights before bed).
