I Got it @Goodwill | Last Day of Winter

Hello Friends and Happy Goodwill Wednesday!

This week’s thrifted outfit was worn on St. Patrick’s Day and it snowed! However, instead of complaining, I was glad as it was the perfect weather in which to wear a maxi skirt and riding boots because tomorrow is the first day of Spring!

Not wanting to hear my son complain about it being too cold, even though he is on the inside taking the pictures,  I stayed indoors for these pics.

Riding Boots from Goodwill

The riding boots were purchased at the Goodwill store in Exton, PA and are the most expensive item that I’ve ever thrifted.   For me, they were still a bargain at $18.99 because they were new and tagged at $39.99, which is way under the $50, which I was prepared to spend this winter.

Maxi Skirt and Wrap Top

Both the faux suede maxi skirt and wrap top were thrifted for $3.75 each.

This week’s thrifted outfit was $26.49, but still a bargain, what do you think?

Snow on St. Patty's Day

Now you know, I had to have at least one picture outdoors!  I hope you all had a wonderful St. Patrick’s Day and are enjoying this Hump Day Wednesday.

J. Crew Inspired Rossette Necklace

Hello Friends and Happy Thankful Thursday

Today’s outfit of the day is featuring a J. Crew Inspired Rosette Necklace that I won in a sponsored contest given by fellow blogger Susan at Charming Lucy.  I got home late last evening after attending the Delaware Today Fashion Awards and a package was waiting for me on the kitchen table.  When I saw it I immediately fell in love and knew I wanted to wear it before Spring.

Avon watch and blue “stone” ring helps to tie it all together.

Both the knit top and patterned skirt were previously purchased at Marshalls.

OOTD – Throwback Tuesday

Hello Friends and Happy Tuesday

‘Ole Man Winter is finally giving up with temps rising every day this week, by Good Friday all the snow should be melted. Yesterday schools dismissed early so kids in the neighborhood had a chance to play in the snow, 1 house even made a family of snow people including a dog, it was so cute.

I miss not having little guys anymore and hate to see kids that are too attached to electronics. I’ve seen toddlers in grocery carts playing with their parent’s iPhones or iPads.   I don’t know about you but sometimes I just want to go outside and play!  Growing up we were up and out early riding bikes, jumping Double Dutch, playing Jacks, BoxBall, Hop Scotch, Red Light Green Light 1-2-3, Freeze Tag, all kinds of outside games.

I truly miss those times – what were some of your favorite childhood games?

OOTD – Bling Bling Thursday

Hello Friends and Happy Friday Eve!

Believe it or not we got snow flakes this morning, it was nothing major just some spritzing, but I do hope it was the last for the season.  I feel sorry for hubby because the year after the big snow storm of 2010, he used his credit card to purchase a snow blower from Sears…it’s been sitting in the garage collecting dust as he continued to pay the high interest charges!

Thursday's Bling

It took me a little longer to dress this morning because what was forecast on Sunday changed and it was too cold for my dress.  I ended up grabbing this two-tone skirt and polka dot top then added a little bling to jazz it up.  I didn’t wear hubby’s watch to work just used it for the pictures, definitely too much.

OOTD – Gazebo in Glasgow

Hello Friends, I hope you had a wonderful Saturday!

The weather here was absolutely GORGEOUS and like almost everyone else in town we spent most of the day outdoors.  My son and I had a few errands to run which included a stop at Rugged Wearhouse in Glasgow.  There’s a gazebo behind one of the medical centers with a lake (and a Home Depot) in the background which made for a good spot to take pictures.

OOTD – Before and After Church

Hello Friends and Happy Sunny Sunday

This morning’s church service was blessed with a sermon by a visiting minister from Wilmington, and visiting guests from a small neighboring church in Middletown.  A great way to start off the week and I am looking forward to an even more blessed work week, I hope it’s the same for you!

D~Foss Custom Jewelry

My husband recently had a few pieces of custom jewelry designed by D~Foss Custom Jewelry.  Donna Foster, creator of D~Foss Custom Jewelry, has been crafting since childhood but only recently decided to turn her hobby into a profitable business.  She began making jewelry exclusively for family members and friends but after attending a vendor show she realized that she could create pieces that were better made and more reasonable in cost.

In 2012, after much research and faith Donna began D-Foss Custom Jewelry and although challenging she has found the experience rewarding.  Donna will make jewelry for men, women and children with prices ranging from $5 to $60 depending on time and material.  She also has pre-made jewelry for vendor shows and all her jewelry comes with a lifetime warranty, any repairs are done at no additional cost.

Personalized necklace and bracelets has our son’s name on them
