I went to the gym this morning, and also managed to have a light brunch with a friend without ordering mimosas. (Although, we did give the hand-squeezed grapefruit juice salty dog cocktails next to us a healthy dose of jealous side-eye.)
Anyway, when you only spend $18.55 on brunch for two at a super cool east-side spot (ahem, Mint Mark, my new true love), you deserve to check out the famed $1 vintage jewelry sale at Retro Revolution, one of my very favorite spots in all of Madison.
Retro Rev has an amazing selection of midcentury artifacts, and everything is shockingly affordable – we found a 60s (faux) Danish walnut-veneer lamp and a very Dick Van Dyke Show-looking end table there for under $70. The jewelry sale comes along once in awhile, and basically requires you to dig through several bins of vintage jewelry, each one in its own little plastic bag, and each for a mere $1.
I snagged mostly necklaces, but also a few brooches for my crocheted turban hat designs. Such a satisfying shopping trip for under $12!
