Title: Junk Necklaces?
Post by: lithiumkat on Wednesday 28 July 2010, 11:35 am: Does ANYONE have more info on these? I had one I LOVED as a child (wish I still had it-I'd still wear it!) and my cousin did too. the only thing I can find are pics and called Junk Necklaces. There were many charms and varieties. I want to know who made em and if there's more to them than just that name.

Post by: EdenEye on Friday 30 July 2010, 06:20 am: Sorry I meant Etsy, I see the vintage part of the website but cant find these plastic charms.
Title: Re: Junk Necklaces?
Post by: mouse on Friday 30 July 2010, 06:51 am: Oh I get you now! What you want to do to find them on etsy (or ebay - they have a number of auctions too) is type in 80s plastic charms then on etsy you'd click on vintage (no doubt there are some listed in handmade but you wouldn't want to be going through all those listings) and voila!
