you know, nanj, i always suspected that i was adopted and now i know it. jiff is not my real sister. BUT i think you must be. i am so glad to have finally found you!
shopping at the salvation army and its ilk is one of my favorite things to do. do you know i found a BEAUTIFUL stiffle lamp there for nine bucks? now how darn exciting was that?????!!!!!
i think though that my favorite thing to buy there is coats. i hate coats. i hate to wear them, i hate to buy them...but don't feel so bad buying them at the s.a. in fact it is kind of fun now. i have lots of coats now....beautiful wools in blacks, navy, and a hummmmdinger of a red. rain slickers. big warm denim winter coat with a hood. coats for the boys since they grow out of them so darn fast. some neat blazers and jackets too. i tend to dress in jeans, turtle neck and some kind of jacket. found a mint condition king size down blanket there for seven bucks....darn thing cost me thirty five to dry clean.
i think i like it most of all for the hunt though....it is just fun!!!!
now as to the heatie things....i have two. love them. sleep with those suckers every darn night. one is for around my neck and shoulders the other ones are slippers that burst and i put them in a little flannel bag. they are filled with seeds and after a while give off a funky herbal smell but i hear tell you can make them out of rice (not minute) and a tube sock....oh maybe i'll make one for jiff (not my real sister... one for christmas...although the chick problably wants scotch....oh well, who can blame her)
by the by jiff, i'd like to be moderated in blue today.
the only thing that keeps my toes and fingers warm....they go white and numb in the cold....are these little packs of toe and mitten warmers that you can get for about a dollar at the sports stores. you peel off the backing and stick them in your boots or mittens. i keep them with me all through the cold months. the other thing that i am never with out are fleece socks. LL bean sells them but i can get them at some local stores from any where from seven to twelve dollars a pair. tj max had them last year if you have one of them by you. i don't buy socks at the s.a. that kind of creeps me out.
cool leather stone mountain pocket book though....that was sweet.
ok, my injuns are getting wrestless in the other room...i don't know what it is about teenage boys and eating all the time....sheesh.
peach
Second-Hand Bargains anyone else?
Just a drive by to Peachie and her (non) sister Jiff, who I have not seen around in YEARS, I hear you on the food thing with the teenage boys, Mine wonder why we have to go to the market every other day and why there is no food left in the house!
