Yard sale money leads to shopping — but some good buys

Sunday, May 4th, 2008

There’s something about yard sale money… all that cash seems to disappear so quickly.
Yesterday we had a very successful yard sale with a friend. My husband Charles and I raked in just over $400 and still have so much stuff that it looks like we’re going to have another one next weekend […]

Get your groove on gardening

Tuesday, April 15th, 2008

Spring is here and it’s time to get out and get planting. Even I have been bit by the gardening bug. Truth be told, though, I’ve come to realize that my traditional gardening outfit of gym clothes and flip flops just isn’t that practical. So, if you’re like me and are in […]

Shoes over pants, Fashion passions and shopping dislikes

Monday, March 24th, 2008

There’s a reason why I have an obscene number of shoes. Whenever I go clothes shopping, I make a b-line for the shoes section.
It doesn’t matter what I’m there to look for, I’m hardly in the door when the shoe section starts calling me. Fortunately, I tend to shop mostly at Ross […]

Fashion and climate preferences

Tuesday, December 18th, 2007

My husband and I both took the quiz at Find Your Spot to see where in the U.S. it thinks we should live. One issue we’ve had is that he likes the heat and I like the cold. In fact, the city we live in came up as a choice for him! […]

Crazy for a cranberry cloche

Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

Well, if you’ve been reading the blog lately, you know that I am absolutely crazy for hats, especially my two tweed, Betmar cloches which you can see here. I got the two tweed cloches locally, then ordered the third color, cranberry, from DelMonico Hats on Amazon.com. There it is to the left. […]

It’s another say something hat day

Saturday, November 24th, 2007

Since October 2nd, when I showed you all my hat collection, I have added five more to the collection! It’s been a great season for hat lovers like me; hats are ‘in’, stores are carrying them, and it’s cool enough now to enjoy cool weather hat styles, which tend to be easier to wear […]

Thankful for the stuff

Friday, November 23rd, 2007

Happy Thanksgiving everyone and thanks for reading! I’m also very thankful for my friends and family, and especially for my wonderful husband. However, I hope they all already know that I appreciate them (and not just today), so I’d like to take a moment and say that I am thankful for all the […]

What I learned tonight and a hat to love

Sunday, November 18th, 2007

Tonight I learned that rabbit fur isn’t the best scarf material — and to always bring a lint roller when wearing black.
I’m now looking for a gray scarf that doesn’t make me look like I just hugged all four of my cats at once.
Except for the fur, though, I think I looked […]

It’s a say something hat day

Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007

When you’re done here, check out my newer additions at It’s another say something hat day.
It was just within the past year that I discovered hats - not baseball caps, but large, fancy, feminine, My Fair Lady hats. It happened by accident, while trying on hats for fun. Then I looked in the […]
