Perhaps the "crown" of my thrifting yesterday was this black leather skirt. It was XS, but with the stretch in the waist it fits me like a glove! Like the other skirts on the rack, it was $2! This is the label. I'll do a little more checking when I finish this post.Fifty cents bought me this tiny Brother typewriter. I need to find new ribbon for it. The $5 model (I think it was a Remington) was no longer there. I should have bought it when I saw it!
Boy you got some deals. I also love Alexandra Stoddard. Have read a few of her books from the library when I can find them. She has inspired me with her writing and her style of living.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend Rebecca.

Rebecca! Alexandra Stoddard is the BEST! Did you know she's one of my life mentors? I have approximately 22 of her 30 some books. I always buy extras to give as gifts! Do you remember my blog on my trip to Stonington? I walked right in front of her house but she was on a trip to Europe so she wasn't there. It was so thrilling! I adore her grace notes and all of her writing. Alexandra rocks! Her website is super too, don't you think? She's a very colorful lady. So happy to read you like her, too!

ReplyDeleteFab finds, I bet the skirt will look lovely on!
ReplyDeleteI once had a collection of Alexandra Stoddard books. Good reading.
ReplyDeleteI have never read any of her books, but I'll look them up.
ReplyDeleteGreat find on the skirt.
The skirt! Oh my yes that's a winner. I almost get discouraged when I read of your finds tho. Even the rattiest paperback in the thrifts here goes for $1.25 and hardbound books are in the range of $1.99 to $3.99. Sigh.

Maybe I shouldn't mention what I pay for things, Darla. A few of the thrift stores are too rich for my blood. I hope my favorites don't raise their prices. I KNOW I'm spoiled.
ReplyDeleteI met Alexandra years ago and she was just lovely in person. She truly knows how to celebrate the beauty in life.
ReplyDeleteYou found some amazing things. Gosh, I love thrifting!!!
