2010 has brought me my first two pieces of Tatty Devine Jewellery. And oh how I am pleased 🙂 My friend Nic got me some lovely little pink loveheart earrings for christmas, and I bagged myself these beauties on ebay a few days ago for £9! RRP is £43, so was a good deal. The seller claims they are completely new and unused, and after further inspection I have no reason not to believe her. They’re immaculate. Voila…
Tatty Devine is completely overpriced. Which is such a shame, as there are some really unique and nice quality pieces but I mean c’mon, £43 for these? The brooch and necklace that match these are £29 and £43 also. I could never afford, or even justify paying that much for a little bit of acrylic. But I still swoon over the website and the Tatty section in Jodies Boutique in Glasgow. I am so rubbish at bidding on ebay. I never win anything when there is more than one other person involved bidding in the auction! Im just never quick enough. So for £9 these little beauties have made me a happy girl. Im sure David is quite glad to hear the end to my moaning and want for Tatty Devine every few days 🙂 Do you have any guilty pleasures or luxuries you indulge yourself in when it comes to jewellery, makeup, or clothes? Come on ladies, make me feel a little less obsessive! 🙂 On the other hand, sometimes its the most simple and cheapest things in life that make us smile…
A little handmade present from the lovely Katrina, left in my pidgeon hole at uni on monday morning 🙂 She made my week! Thank you for everyones kind comments on the last post, my days have been flowing so much better since I got that essay out the way. I’m sure there are quite a few of you who have been in the same position, or are right now, or will be in a couple of years time 😉

I LOVE TD but totally agree with you – way overpriced. My friend makes jewellery from acrylic using similar methods to TD and she told me the cost of each piece – acrylic is expensive in terms of material but nowhere near enough to warrant such inflated prices! Still, so pretty. Sigh.
Great eBay bargain! I've decided to do my shopping through all my favourite blogs so whenever you buy something, PLEASE share it with me! 😉
I was so pleased to hear how much you saved in such a short amount of time – how inspiring is that?! I'm terrible for going out at lunchtime and buying a lip gloss with my sandwich. NO MORE, Ayden! NO MORE. 🙂 xxx

My mum and I are whizzes on ebay haha.
I think probably the pieces of jewellery I indulge in are pandora beads, well not me myself, but I only get them for birthdays or christmas'.
I also used to make my own jewellery but haven't done so in a long long time.

TD have some lovely stuff, but agree, overpriced. Such a shame, I've seen stalls in Camden selling similar stuff for a fraction of the cost.
They are great though, really cute.
I love the handmade bracelet more though, so cute and thoughtful. I only ever found bills and flyers for debt companies in mine. 🙁

I have always wanted a Cinderella necklace from Tatty Devine, I mean literally for the past 5years I have wanted this necklace but it was around about £100! 🙁 sigh
I love Tatty Devine, but as you have proved ebay is great for scouring bargains ! Great find 🙂

the prices are ridiculous now. I bought a TD necklace back in 2004 when they fisrt started and only had a small following and it was about £10..now the same one is 3 times the price because of their popularity. It's such a shame as although their pieces are quite unique they aren’t exactly time consuming, difficult or expensive to make.
