Back again

Back in the office today after being off since Nov. 29.
So — what have you been buying?
I didn’t go away but instead spent my days going to movies, museums, day trips, lunches out… all the things you never seem to have time to do on a regular basis.
And of course, some shopping was involved.
I finished up most of my holiday shopping (is it ever really done?). Also picked up a few things for myself along the way.
Took a drive down to Point Pleasant Beach, N.J. one day. I love the beach, especially in the “off” season. This town has some fantastic antiques shops and lots of little boutiques and gift shops.
And in one shop, Stella e Luna, I was stopped right in my tracks by this bag in the window:
It’s a great bag/tote from a company called Big Buddha.
The color’s kind of hard to see from the picture — it’s not as harsh a green as it appears.
Happy vacation to me!
Another day found me in Nyack, where I stopped by the Grace Thrift Shop. It’s a favorite haunt, though I don’t find as much costume jewelry there as I used to.
Still, a top caught my eye:
It fit — as did the $3 price tag.
And when I went to pay, it was apparently part of a sale and half off.
Not bad for $1.50. (And since the tote was a bit of a splurge, this was a welcome bonus).
Finally, what I didn’t buy, spotted at a Dollar Tree shop:
Yes, it’s Chef Mario’s Dining Disasters… “stretchghetti & critters.”
It says to “collect all styles.”
Um, no thanks!
Catch up on a few other buys in coming days — and also share some local shopping events and books that you’ll want to keep in mind for the holiday season.
