SUNDAY, MONDAY THE MEETINGS START
Hello, everyone!
Yep, on Monday all the meeting for fall semester start. Luckly, because I'm "staff", I really don't have to go to any of them. I do go to the convocation that the President has tomorrow morning. Yesterday, we hit a couple of charity shops. The Sallies was having a back to school sale....everything was 99cents! Sadly I only found 2 things.
I wore this dress I bought last summer. I'll show you what I bought in a minute.
The aloe vera plant I got at a yard sale years ago has bloomed again.
The half price hibiscus is going nuts. Not bad for a $6 plant!
Not so happy tomato plant. It blew over in the wind and I didn't have any duct tape. Maybe it'll work.
I was wearing the best anniversary gift ever. Ray got me this awesome Alexander McQueen bracelet a couple of year ago.
My latest yarn bomb project
It took forever ( well, 4 months) During summer stock, I didn't feel like knitting when I got home. I was going to do all 4 posts, I've rethought that. One's enough.
I didn't forget: here's what I got.
A new dress. It not black, it's dark blue and made of rayon. And cost $6.
99 cent cookbook from 1964
These are from Target. I couldn't pass up 50cent crayons.
One of the 99cent items I got at the Sallies. One more and I can call it a collection of straw totes.
The other thing I got was this blouse. Which makes this a $3 outfit. I got the jeans awhile ago at Hope Thrift for $2. I always look for 100% cotton jeans. I don't like how the ones with stretch slide down after you wear them for a couple of hours.
That cabinet next to me is my Cabinet of Wonder, AKA Shelves Full Of Crap. I got it at World Market, and maybe one of these days I'll show you what's in it.
Stay cool!

I love that the tourist souvenirs you get in the States are from the Bahamas, Hawaii and Mexico - so exotic compared to ours from Spain.
ReplyDeleteLove the yarn bombing and that stunning McQueen bangle. x
OMG I love the bag!!!! I saw some yarn bombing in the weekend - also on the post of a shelter - and had to explain to my family what it was. They did not really understand. I totally understand and I think it looks awesome. Your cabinet of wonders sounds intriguing and I would love to see in it.Hope you have a great week :-)

Your aloe and hibiscus are doing awesome!!! Hoping your tomato pulls through! We have the same thrifting taste. :) I would have definitely grabbed the cookbook, and tote and I'm particular about jeans, too. Excellent finds!!!
ReplyDeleteI will dream about that bracelet from now on, I adore it! I have seen a few Jessica Simpson dresses at goodwill lately, not my size but they looked cute, vintage inspired for sure. I like yours with the t shirt.
