Hello Friends, I hope you had a wonderful weekend!
The weather was absolutely gorgeous and not having to cook gave me more time to be outside and enjoy it. Saturday I was set up at Dutch Country Farmer’s Market, and although there was a lot of foot traffic I didn’t do as well as expected. I did manage to sell a lot of books, some household items and a few pieces of jewelry, but the clothing that did not sell was donated to Goodwill. Hubby and the boys chose Chinese Takeout for dinner so it was Shrimp Fried Rice, Steamed Vegetables and Chicken Mei Fun.
Today we all worked outdoors, hubby and the sons on the lawn and cars, me with setting out the patio furniture and cushions before doing the weekly grocery shopping. I knew I wasn’t going to cook a Sunday dinner so instead we went to Farmer’s Famous Fish for sandwiches and fries.
It was another busy weekend for them with customers lining up and waiting from the time they opened to several hours after the published closing time of 3:30 p.m.

My outfit of the day was a maxi dress and cardigan which was perfect for today’s weather.
Have a fantabulous evening – Smooches!

Hello Friends and Happy Monday.
I hope you had a nice weekend and are starting off your work week in a positive, stress free way! This morning standing on a sunny deck I couldn’t help but think of Spring with the forecast of temps to rise above 56 degrees by the end of the week. I am however, not naive to think that we won’t be hit with snow and this deck will be covered before the end of February!
On Friday I stopped at GW Boutique (Goodwill) and thrifted a few items all for $3.75, including this sleeveless, black and white tank. It was new, with the tags from Marshall’s still attached. Goodwill is also getting bougie because some of their tags read “Goodwill Boutique”!
Sleeveless Tank and Red Skirt – GW Boutique // Cardigan Sweater and Shoes – Ross // Statement Necklace – New York & Company

Have a fantabulous afternoon – Smooches!

Hello friends and Happy Fri-Yay, Black Friday! I hope you all had a good day and if you were out shopping for deals you found some great ones! I started my day early but didn’t get out of the house until almost noon. I went to Goodwill for a little thrifting and tomorrow all clothing is 50% off so I’ll definitely be going back. This evening I attended a Home Purse Party with a friend and purchased a nice designer inspired Michael Kors bag.
I wore my black jeans and jacket today for Black Friday but changed my top, boots and bag for the Purse Party.
Have a wonderful night – Smooches!

Hello friends and Happy Tuesday before Thanksgiving
Yesterday, after work I met with two representatives from The Money School of Delaware. They had read my post, “From Purses to Portfolios” and were so impressed that they offered me an opportunity to create their blog as well as host various training webinars. Attending events and writing about women’s issues mixed with the fashion and savings was exactly where I wanted to take this blog. Now that this has come to fruition so quickly I want to thank God for I am truly blessed and look forward to working with some great people at The Money School.
I will keep you posted as to when it goes live because it will be separate from my dedivahdeals blog.

Hello friends and happy Saturday night, I am posting Part 2 of my Goodwill Goodies from Smyrna. Last month while shopping my closet I realized that I was in need of long sleeve blouses to wear under blazers. Today I thrifted mostly dark colors but next week I will be back hunting for more colorful ones because on Saturday all clothing will be 50% off – Woohoo!
All these items were $3.75 each
– Croft & Barrow zebra print top
– no tag top
– CATO animal print skirt (new with tags)
– Fred David beige/black blouse
– Jessica Holbrook 100% silk blouse
– Cosi Crest Collection (men’s) shirt
– Dress Barn light green suede shirt
Finally found a white blouse, Pendleton
These Karen Scott Oxblood suede shoes were $4.00
This location always has a wide variety of shoes, these caught my attention but weren’t my size.
To clean and disinfect thrifted shoes I use Clorox and disinfecting spray inside, outside and on the soles.
It was a good day!

Hello friends and Happy Saturday, I hope you had a great day and are winding down to a relaxing evening. I finally broke my “thrifting fast” and went to Goodwill in Dover and Smyrna in search of a few blouses and skirts. On the top of my list were a white blouse, a houndstooth skirt and anything colored oxblood – JACKPOT I found them all and then some!
All of these items were $3.75 a piece except the shoes which were $6.00 a pair
– Worthington Gold tone blouse
– Alfred Dunner blue/black animal print shirt
– Talbots multi color striped top
– apt9 Oxblood blouse
– Talbots Houndstooth skirt
– Style & Co silk polka dot blouse
– Dressbarn black suede skirt
– Romantic Souls pumps
They had some other nice looking shoes, unfortunately they didn’t fit well.
I love these shopping baskets on wheels at the Goodwill in Dover, the store where my sister last worked and I could only smile thinking about her. RIP Gloria!
My next post will feature the items thrifted from Goodwill in Smyrna.
Have a fantabulous evening – Smooches!

Instead of attending a Fashion Night Out (FNO) event, I went thrifting at the Salvation Army in Wilmington and found a few fall pieces. I am not sure of their pricing policy or if it’s the same at all locations, but everything here ended in .99 cents. The clothing and shoe prices are a bit higher than Goodwill but less expensive than a Consignment shop.
Issac Mizrahi For Target Skirt – $4.99
Briggs Harvest Suede Skirt – new with tags from Sears – $7.99 (blue tag = 50% off) – $3.99
Talbots Green Suede Skirt – $5.99
Blue Skirt – $4.99 (blue tag 50% off) – 2.49
Clairborne Mens Jacket – $9.99
Leather Loafers – $5.99
Leather Pumps – $7.99
