The September 2016 Aster Market box included the following items:
~Else and Rita Faux Leather Pouch ($23): This is billed as a makeup pouch, but if it came right down to it and you needed a white clutch, I think you could get away with it. I am a little leary of the white interior, but I will just have to make sure to close all my makeup super tight, so nothing spills.
~Frosted Willow White Stone Bangle Bracelet ($12.95): This is a delicate brass band bangle with a white vintage square stone. It’s a standard sized bangle, but it you have a larger wrist you may have some trouble with this one. It fit on my wrist, but I would have liked it to be a little looser, so I will be gifting it.
~Woodbury Design Co. Recipe Cards ($10): I know you can get pretty much any recipe online these days, but there is just something about getting a hand-written recipe. I love the thought of using these to write down the recipe you are best known for or one of your favorite dishes and passing it down to family members.
~Mane Message Set of Hairties ($7): This is described as “the military package” and that totally fits. These are very much military colors. And also fabulous neutrals for fall.
All totaled I came up with a value of $52.95 for the September 2016 Aster Market. That’s not a great value by any means, but it does cover the cost of the box. Plus this box focuses on small-batch items which I am happy to support.
