Why, oh why, was there a cashmere cardigan (Ralph Lauren) with the tags still on, in my size and favorite color, hanging on the end of the rack at the thrift store? It wasn't even my birthday!
...because God loves you! I have been meaning to write a comment for a while now - as a longtime reader of your blog I am so happy you are posting again! :) Erin
Don't you just LOVE it when that happens? I once found a never-worn pair of Laura Ashley black leather boots (leather inside and out) for $4.00...and they just happened to be half price that day! Enjoy your new sweater! You wear it well!
P.S. I, also, have been a longtime reader, and am thrilled you are blogging again!
Now that is a find to sing about! I thought of you yesterday as my husband and I made plans to go to our new towns Symphony Orchestra tonight our last town didn't have one! It will be a fun date!
I once found a pair of Brooks Brothers slacks...with the $110 price tag still attached. I did a happy dance in the dressing room when I realized they were a perfect fit! Oh, the sweet joy of finding a "treasure" at the thrift store.
I am an evangelical Christian. I have two daughters whom I homeschool: Bella (15), and Daisy (8), and three older children: Giles (21), a college graduate, Felix (19), a college junior, and Clara (17), a college freshman. I'm 42 years old and happily married to my Dear Composer. We live in a 1920's school converted into a home, outside of town. And God is good.
Feel free to Pin my photos, but please link back to the page you found them on.
Photography
Photography is an important part of life at my house. Photos that appear here are taken by Giles, by the Composer, and by me. Giles is a real, paid photographer, and he uses a Sony Alpha. Most of the photography prior to September 2008 is his. Since then I have done most of the shooting and I use a Konica Minolta. Additionally, the Composer offers me nice shots on occasion, often from his little Canon point and shoot. I've given up trying to note who's done what. Thanks for your interest!

Why oh why does my thrift store never have things like that when I'm there? It's so pretty, Anna! What a find.

Isn't it great? I found a Ralph Lauren blouse that way years ago - got a lot of use out of it.
Happy Un-Birthday!
