Invasion of the Birds!

I was busy typing away at the computer in the early morning and I look outside, 1000's of birds have invaded my trees.  It is amazing, they are flying around from tree to tree and have filled every branch.  I step outside and the sound is incredible.  The songs of the black bird.  I think it was a black bird, hard to tell in the early morning light.  Give a listen, amazing.

Sucess at Jenna and Molly...

Since we couldn't get everything we wanted at the estate sale, we decided to visit this store in Long Branch (1 hour from Princeton), "Jenna and Molly".  They have hip teen, kids, women clothing at reasonable prices.  Bruce drove, that's always a plus, and shopping we went.  The entire store was 20% off, and there were markdown racks, so I was able to find not only stuff for Jill and Leah but me too!  Kinda funky clothes, hip, Jersey style(not TV Jersey Shore ) items.  Jill loved everything she tried on and did really well.  Leah is much more particular, but we managed to find two things.  I got three items, totally me, not something you see others wear, but I don't usually wear what everyone else is wearing, I drive my own fashion trend.  Here is Jenna and Molly's facebook page, if you are in Jersey, check them out. http://on.fb.me/vG19dU

Musings on Saturday's estate sale

So the excitement builds..an estate sale..right around the corner...I never know what to expect...will it be good and I walk out with a bag of goodies or come out empty-handed?  Well, it was definitely a goodie.  The sad part was the Mom had passed away and her children were selling off her collectibles and clothing that they did not want.  You can tell alot about a person looking through their drawers and closets.  Besides seeing what size they are (the obvious) you get to see a window into their personality.  She was a hip, colorful, person and her clothes reflected that.  I got a bunch of tops for my Mom, a dress for me, a hip fringe vest, a shawl-sweater in my favorite redhead colors and shoes!  Jill made out with four pairs of new shoes (or used shoes, but new to Jill) all short boots, two blacks, one white and one cool hiking boot.  All for $25!  What a deal.  Now the big question remains, will she wear them or will they end up in the bag for donation.  For $25, I will take the risk.  The lady of the house loved lots of interesting things, I got 2 unusual Israeli coins, one with the Shema on it, and a really neat vintage tiffany lampshade lamp.  Love it!  I will post photos later.  Gotta run, literally, time to exercise...
