venturing beyond familiar

 Saturday, my husband and I ventured beyond "familiar" into our neighbor state - Ohio.
Thrifting and lunch was our agenda.
At one shop (Lima, OH), after we had selected clothes from the 75% off rack,
I was told we could have had 6 items for $1.00!
I was running out of time, so just took the 4 items I had for $1.00.
The Lee jeans above and the leopard print shirt at the bottom were two of them.
 At another store in another town (Delphos), I found these dishes for $.25 each.
 I'll use them in place of greeting cards--
maybe with a few brownies or cookies.
I found the jacket I'm modeling in the first photo at this shop, too.
I just love the "lines" on its back.
My husband came home with a pair of shoes and a couple of shirts, too.
It was both entertaining and productive to "Venture Beyond Familiar"!
Oh!  I almost forgot this white planter
which fits nicely with my collection
of white planters and ironstone.  Twenty-five cents, too.

  1. Score! I went thrifting yesterday and everything was 1/2 off. I was helping a fried with a too re-do and we hit the mother lode!!
    I love your hair cut. You look great. I love the linen jacket and the leopard shirt. I am a sucker for anything animal print. It matches my leopard print hands!! I prefer that over calling it liver spots!

  2. As always you SCORED! I have a very similar heavy lineen jacket in taupe, mine has no buttons on the back or I might have thought it was the SAME jacket. I wear it all the time. I like bracelet length sleeves on jackets.

  8. Ohio is my first home state. I'm glad you found treasures there. I love the pleats at the back of the jacket. Very stylish.

  9. Wow. Just catching up with you. What great finds. I LOVE those plates! I'm still in hibernation mode, and not visiting my local thrift stores. I thought I'd miss the shopping more than I have. This is most likely because I've been "shopping from home", and no, not on the internett either. Just in my own cupboards and basement. Oh, my. What a treasure trove. Well, that's my opinion. My husband has another word for it. Hoard.
