Bargain and better picture (ish)

First of all here is a slightly (not much) better picture of my first bits of jewellery, I really do need to learn the best way to take a photo of jewellery, I'm better with cards lol.

Popped over to the market this morning, It was very busy which was not good at all for my social phobia/agoraphobia and anxiety, but I managed it. Mostly to have a look at the car boot, don't often pick anything up tho. The last time we went to market was about 3 years ago, stopped going as it was rubbish lol. Well the first to stalls on the car boot bit had a fair bit of jewellery, I picked out about 20 pieces (to hack of course, for the beads & findings) and asked how much would they be. She said well I sell them at 50p each. To which I said, oh ill leave them. They were nice, but not that nice lol. With that she said, but as you have picked so many how about £4 the lot.... Cool. so I took them. The next table there was a jewellery box filled with some very nice bits, some lovely big bits to use as pendants. very unusual as well some of them, He shouted over 50p each item. I then asked do I get a discount if I buy a lot. To which he said stop looking now, and you can have the whole lot including the jewellery box for £4.... I snapped his hand off. When I got home I had a proper look, and there is some very nice stuff. Ive already hacked them and got loads of findings, beads, pendants and chain to use. I should have taken a photo of it all sorry.

If I had bought them from shop or ebay as beads/findings etc, It will have ended up costing me around £40-£50 I recon. Well £8 sounds much better to me lol. So I've been very happy playing away taking it all apart and sorting it out. I think I need to have a rethink on storage tho lol.
