Today’s weather wasn’t as dreary as the previous days, but still cool enough for long sleeves. The denim vest was thrifted from Goodwill but it started out as a dress. I removed the sleeves and sewed an animal print fabric around the arm holes and along the front pockets to make it an original.

Just when we thought Spring had sprung, Winter decided to make a guest appearance.
Fortunately I hadn’t removed my boots from the closet so today I wore a pair with a Spring dress. For the fun of it I also tried on Booties and Red shoes but because of the rain, I stuck with the boots.
Wearing footless tights from Walmart I can say that my tootsies are still out!

Today’s outfit includes a two piece, stripped Sag Harbor top and jacket courtesy of my grandmother. When she passed in 2009, I donated most of her clothes and accessories, however, there were a few pieces that I held onto. This two piece will always remind me of her and her good taste in clothing!
Long black shirt was thrifted from Goodwill and has a zipper that brings the slit thigh high – I chose to keep it decent for work – lol.
Wedge shoes are part of my urbanog.com shoe haul featured in my previous blog.
Earrings and multi-color bracelet from Jewelrymax.net and ring from Avon.

REPOSTING FROM LAST YEAR – THE DECK STILL LOOKS GOOD AFTER 1 SEASON!
A few weeks ago we purchased Deck RESTORE from Home Depot because it was time to start the outdoor projects and staining the deck was #1 on my list. In all honesty, I don’t like using stain because it’s messy, time consuming and never seems to last long enough for me. Staining usually highlights the imperfections of the wood, however, this product although a bit pricey hid the imperfections, wasn’t messy or time consuming, I just hope it lasts longer than 2 seasons!
My OOTD was thrifted from my oldest son’s closet – he put the tshirt and shorts in the box slated for a Goodwill donation – lol
We purchased the 5 gallon container (cheaper than the kit which contained only 2 gallons and a roller)
a Restore Roller; we had a pan and brush in the garage.
The color is Adobe
Because the product was sitting in the garage for 2 weeks, I had my son do a little “remixing”
Swept the deck to remove dust and debris
It wasn’t necessary to Power Wash the deck, so just used ammonia and water to clean off surface dirt
The lid was very easy to open once the plastic tab was removed.
I thought I would need pliers which is why they are pictured in the tray above.
Very easy pour – thick consistency
Roll the 1st coat and allow to dry at least 3 hours – it took me a little over an hour to complete.
I went grocery shopping and did the 2nd coat the next evening after work.
After the 2nd coat
From this …
To this!
The best part was the easy cleanup with just plain water – definitely beats staining any day!

After leaving Smyrna, we drove further south to the Goodwill store in Dover. I stopped first at the cemetary to lay flowers for my sister, uncle and grandmother. I was a bit apprehensive when first approaching Goodwill as I hadn’t set foot in that store since 1992, when I picked up my sister’s last pay check. We didn’t stay long and I only purchased a few items but this store does have a lot of new items from the local mall and grocery stores in the area.

Today was the first time I went thrifting with a friend and we had a blast! Our first stop was at Goodwill in Smyrna and this place was huge! We had a blast looking through the racks; trying on clothes; taking pictures and socializing with the sales associates and other customers.
Good fun was had by all and we left with 3 large bags for $50.63.

Started out with just a few items.
The pattern on these pants were just a little to busy for me.
The yellow sleeveless shirt was a bit tight across the chest, but I purchased the capris for $3.75
On the phone but these Wet seal color jeans were perfect for $1.88 and the top was $3.75. I liked the pastel pink Ballerina Slippers but forgot to purchase them, may need to go back soon!
