Guest Edit: Nora Henick of 'Thanks It's From'

+ The eBay pro shares Taxco sterling & off-beat florals

Hi and happy Friday!

Let’s kick off the weekend with a surprise free newsletter and guest edit from one of my favorite Substackers:

Nora Henick spends too much time shopping and curating her newsletter, Thanks It’s From, that finds you the best vintage and secondhand items from the best corner of the internet, eBay. When she’s not on eBay, she’s making homemade pasta, trying to recreate Cinnabon cinnamon rolls, or attempting to make croissants. Subscribe here and follow her on IG here.

1. Taxco Mexico 950 Sterling Silver & 16 Oval Amethyst Cabochons 20" Necklace

According to the Internet, the etymology of sterling silver traces back to ‘little star,’ and I haven’t stopped thinking about that since I learned it. This is for all of my February babies, myself included.

2. Sterling Silver Earrings Modernist Amethyst Cabochon Clip on VTG Mexico

These earrings are the perfect pair for the above necklace. Bonus points, they’re clip-on so they’re for everyone!

3. Vintage Taxco Mexico 925 Sterling Silver BIG Hammered Clip Earrings

And if you like the above, but you’re not completely sold on amethyst, here’s another pair with different stones.

4. Mexican Vintage Faux Onyx Cabochon Link Belt Necklace Oversized

I’m nervous to share this because I’m scared someone else might buy it and I’ll regret my decision to share it every day for the rest of my life.

5. K&T Silver Western Horse Cowboy Hat Saddle Hair Barrette Made in France

Are you a horse person? I come to you with my hands open with this inside.

6. Made in France Jan Michaels Starburst Barrette

I’m feeling so inspired by

Allegra Samsen

to embrace my hair however it may fall. This is the perfect pop of color.

7. Vintage Prada makeup / accessory bag, beaded, Brown Silk Satin w/mirror

I know this is listed as a makeup or accessory bag, but I think this is the perfect night out only essentials needed bag.

8. Black Blazer Jacket Sophie Sitbon Paris 100% Silk Size 38 Womens

This is the perfect top to wear with all of the jewelry above -- it’s simple, elegant and allows the jewelry to stand out while still having a bit of a statement itself.

9. VTG. ETRO Milano Italy Women Floral Straight Leg Pants sz 42 (US 6)

These pants are keeping me alive until Spring.

10. VTG Lejaby Paris One Size Sheath/Kaftan Navy Red Floral Embroidery 100% Silk

Something like this makes me feel like I’d actually never have my feet touch the ground; scientifically I’d levitate and glide everywhere I walked while wearing this.

11. Vintage 70s Valdrome Quilted Jacket & Matching Handbag..Made in France..Sz.12/14

Anyone want to split this? I’ll take the bag.
