So happy that I had something “new” (new to me at least) to wear for my meet up with my friend this week. I already had the earrings and jeans and luck was with me last week when I found the sweater and blouse at the Sally Ann (Salvation Army) charity shop. The tone-on-tone dots are a lot smaller on the fabric than what I have depicted here. I used the flat end of a skewer. I bought it because I love the deep blue colour and for the tactile nature of the dots. Kind of felt a bit like flocked wallpaper without the ick of said wallpaper. I don’t buy lots of green stuff so when I tried it on and it fit, I grabbed it too. All washed up and good as new!
I love thrift store shopping! Often I come out empty handed but last week was an exception.
I got to wear my Sailor Girl earrings again too, they are handmade glass beads. I usually only wear them in the summer time, now they can see the light of day this winter. I the artist at an arts and craft fair in town (Kempenfest Art and Craft festival, Barrie Ontario) but I bought these from her on line. I see that she has a store now that sells her jewelry on Queen St in Toronto Ontario. I might make a point to have a look sometime.
