Travel on less than $10 a day.
Claire’s currently has a silver tone charm bracelet and necklace featuring a scooter charm. The scooter looks like an odd combination of a Vespa and a very early Lambretta. Just $9.50 for each. claires.com

The best party favors ever?
You can get two of these pink and aqua scooter rings for just 5 cents! (with $3.95 shipping). Might be worth contacting the seller to see if they can ship a bunch of them to you all at one time for a little more shipping. The rings are sized for little girls but they’re adjustable. So maybe they could be party favors for big girls too?
Thanks to Cassie for this find!
A Rare Bit O’Swag:
Vintage Filigree Vespa Scooter Brooch
This small silver gilt and enamel filigree piece recently appeared on eBay. It could be worn as a pin but could also stand on its own as a miniature.
A Rare Bit O’Swag:
A Vespa VB-1 brooch
Spotted on eBay awhile back this French Brooch looks like a VB-1 with a rhinestone as its headlight. Very clever! It looks like it was painted at one time. I rather like it as bare metal.
Like having a bubble gum machine
full of scooter prizes.
Remember the joy of getting THE prize you wanted out of the vending machine? When I was little my Mom would give me a dime or so to try for the one I wanted on every trip to the drugstore. Can’t remember what I was obsessed with now. A blue cat springs to mind. But I never got it randomly. So one day we’re in the store and she sees the vending repair guy filling the machines and asks him if she can just buy the prizes I wanted. He gave us handfuls for free. I made out like a bandit that day!
Well “Stuff Maya Makes” is almost just like that. All of her charms are good and all of them are under $5. Besides jewelry you use them as cell phone mascots, zipper pulls, you name it. The colored enamel charms are 2-D and the silver and bronze charms are 3-D.
Thanks Jennifer S. and Spyder for this find.

Spring fling bling
Plasticland calls these the “Miss Mod” earrings. I call them pretty dang cute. They are enamel over gold plate. The helmet measures 1/2″ x 1/2″, the scooter measures 3/4″ x 1″, and total drop length for the earrings is 1.5″. Of course if you didn’t want them as earrings, these would make perfect charms for a necklace or bracelet. They’re $21.00, so a great price for such detailed charms.
This Week’s Rare Bit O’Swag:
Celluloid Vespa Brooch
I picked this up for very cheap on eBay from a European seller. It’s about the size of a half dollar and is very detailed for it’s size. It doesn’t have any markings on the back but almost looks like a mass produced item ready to be imprinted with the name of a scooter club or event on the bottom. Anyone else seen any of these?
