"Chocolate is my life" heart-shaped plate, featuring Cathy

Just in time for Valentine's Day, Cathy found this heart-shaped plate featuring her namesake comic-strip character. "Chocolate is my life" says it all, don't you think?

The copyright date on the back is 1983.

Joan Rivers Glass Necklace, and Matching Bracelets


Cathy won this Joan Rivers jewelry for $7.50 in a local antiques and collectibles auction. The necklace has "stones" made from colored glass, so they are transparent. The matching stretchy bracelets echo some of the colors in the necklace.

Burberry Cashmere Scarf

Cathy found this scarf in a charity shop on her birthday, which meant it was half price -- roughly five dollars. Saks Fifth Avenue will happily sell you the same thing for HUNDREDS of dollars.

By the way, the torso form was also a bargain -- less than ten dollars at a different charity shop.
