The colors of my life - painting and thrifting

A study of yellows and purples

colors I love to paint

BUT

almost never buy or wear

Last week I really helped the economy!!

I had been having so many problems with my car (a 1998 Buick Century

that my husband inherited when his mother passed)

but I was trying to wait until next year when our finances will be better.

DH told me that he was concerned about the reliability of the car so

I went looking and purchased a new car

a Glacier blue Honda CR-V

whom I have named Miss Blue (my blue jeans baby!)

then I actually did some driving around town

and hit some thrift shops

Things are really really dead here so many of the thrift shops are having big sales

I went to 2 of the best ones - thrift shops from off Orchid Island (where the rich people live)

(Maybe you have heard of Orchid Island in the Stuart Woods's books - he lives here as does Carl Hiassen)

Anyway,

one of the shops had 75% off all women's clothes and I spent $28 and got

Talbot's tan pants

Old Navy tan cardigan

Jones NY black blouse

Talbot's black patterned knit top

white Austrian top

2 J Crew embroidered tops

So love the embroidery!

I did a quick look-up of pricing on line when I got home

and I got $400 (retail) worth of stuff for $28!!!!!

BUT

did you notice

everything I purchased was black, white, tan, or navy?

Interesting?!?

thanks for reading,

Chris
