Necklaces on a Shoestring Budget

Aret the stylish chuncky necklaces inspired by Anthro? I guess the pics below are from Stella and Dot. Either way, I'm liking this chunky, big, multiple strands of beads, style.

 I also like how they add flowers, starfish and other metal or beaded designs.

 So I bought some beaded strands from the Goodwill when I went yesterday, and I added a metal flower pin that I purchased at a yardsale this summer.  Total cost: $4.00. Not quite the same as a Stella and Dot or Anthropology necklace for about $200.00, but for the cost difference, I'll take the one I created!

 Also purchased this wooden beaded, fabric wrapped strand for $3.00.

 I think I'll add a flower or two. Maybe I'll make a teal one?

Also purchased some great pillows and a terrific glass 2ft tall vase. Some people say they just don't have luck at yardsales, that they can't find anything. I think I have the opposite problem.....there's just not much that I couldn't find a use for!
