Jackpot!

I walked to the nearby Salvation Army today, in search of a sunny yellow sweater. I didn't find one, but I did snatch 3 other snuggly sweaters and two more nice warm skirts. I've still got my hopes up for a yellow sweater, but I'm very happy with what I got today.

Sweater - Thrifted from the Salvation Army

Tank Top - Fairweather for $5

Wool Skirt - Thrifted from the Salvation Army for $2.50

I actually bought this black sweater earlier today... I really needed something like this in my wardrobe. I have a lot of tank tops and sleeveless shirts, and I needed a good dark neutral zip up sweater to toss over them.

And this is a horrible photo I took with my webcam as an afterthought but I wanted to share the little hemp necklace I made the other night.

I couldn't find any jewelery I liked for my partner to gift me for my birthday, so he passed me his little glass mushroom pendant until he gets me something at Christmas. Anyway... it was just on a black string, and I had some wood beads and hemp cord, so I figured why not, and made this. It's more special to me now because it's made with a little of each of us.

The skirt is the one I picked up on Friday at another Sally Anne. I'm really scoring with these mid-calf length wool skirts lately... I've got three now, and it's great. They are going to be perfect for when there's snow on the ground! Do you have any favourite go-to item for cold and snowy weather? I know that's what these skirts are for me! What are yours?

Cheers!
