Back Again :)

   I'm happy to say that it didn't take me so long to post again this time. I'm going to start out by talking about a neat thrift shop that I found when Ken and I went out to the cape last weekend. We were antiquing and I saw a sign for a thrift shop at a church so we decided to stop in. The first thing that I found, almost immediately(I think it was meant to be) was a pair of green shoes. They are real suede with gold trim woven around the outside that ties in a bow on the front and they're from the gap. The bottoms of the shoes are completely smooth so I can't imagine that they've even been worn once. Anyway, here's a picture of them:
       I know, they're so me! They also fill the void left behind by my old green shoes that I got rid of a few months ago that I loved so much. Next, I found a green three-quarter sleeve sweater, also from the Gap. It's 100% cotton, which I like better than most blends. I think between the shoes, sweater, and my new Juicy bag, it's proof that I have  green fever. lol After that, I found a pink short sleeve sweater that is 97% cotton from Merona  that is really soft and both sweaters were in really good condition. I took pictures:
        The best part of the purchase was that I only spent $7 all together! Now that's a bargain. It certainly beat the prices at the antique stores that we were stopping at. ;) Speaking of expensive though, I found a really cool wishlist item today on etsy. I was looking at shoes...big surprise, and found these:
HUNGRY TIGERS
                 I mean, how cool is it that the artist takes a hot shoe and paints a creepy design on the bottom. It's not quite cool enough for me to dish out $250.00 which is why they make the wishlist, but very cool.  There are different shoes with different designs available on the bottom and she even does custom work. Here's the link if you want to check it out: http://www.etsy.com/listing/62853141/hungry-tigers   If you want to look at different shoes, just click over on the right where it says the # of items in her shop. Etsy.com is always a good site to find unique stuff. 

                 Last but not least, today's deal of the day if from JCPenny. Ken and I actually went there for jeans for him recently and I had forgotten how good there sales can be. I found some cute stuff on their website including this dress:
Bailey Blue Ruffled V-Neck Dress w/Belt
The dress is on sale for $19.99 and comes with the belt. It's perfect for all seasons because coming into the colder weather, you can just put a short sweater over it. The site has a limited selection in sizes but it does say that the dress is available in stores, so here's the link: http://www.jcpenney.com/jcp/X6.aspx?GrpTyp=PRD&ItemID=1c5c147&DeptID=71275&CatID=81020&SO=1&Ne=4294957900+29+3+1031+8+18+949&CatSel=4294934949|casual+dresses&NOffset=0&x5view=1&shopperType=G&N=4294934949&Nao=42&PSO=1&bcCat=3&CmCatId=71275|81020&sa=1
....and goodnight. :)
