Thrift And Snow

This was my back porch yesterday. It looked the same this morning. Isn't it just September? I thought fall brought colored leaves and cooler days. Hopefully it still will.

So, I have had some luck with thrift stores of late. So, I thought I would take a photo wearing what I actually found .....
Here's me in my vintage goodies (except shoes..though thrift )in front of my weeds and tree looking attempting to look sassy.
Here's me looking a little grumpy.
Here is my vintage wool coat that I love. I bought it for a dollar from an old folks home thrift store I volunteered at recently with my church. They were going to give it to Salvation Army but it came home with me instead.
Buttons...love them.
If you want to see a blog with a girl who takes adorable pictures in her vintage goodies peek in on this one. She's still young enough to wear cute knee socks with her dresses. *sigh*

New and Used

Day two of the school year. Usually I am so ready to send the kids and they are ready to start. This year is a little different. Yesterday was a bit harder to let them go. New town, new school, transitioning to public. New is exciting and scary. I kept myself busy. I ran the errands you just avoid with kids. Fabric and thrift store. I went to the Salvation Army next to the fabric store(how dangerous is that?) and they were having a three for a dollar sale! Not everything of course, but since everything else seemed so expensive when there are racks of thirty cent items. I stuck with those. Brought home a big bag of '70's shirts etc. that I am not even sure I am going to wear but who cares....thirty cents!Favorite Shirts!
If anything I will cut the buttons off & add them to my collection. I did find a few items that were not dated. My jacket....thirty cents! I might even be able to justify my spending at the fabric store with all the unnecessary things I picked up at the thrift store for so cheap. Or maybe not.
