It’s been awhile since I’ve done  a post on shopping finds, but this week I went to both Goodwill and Steinmart’s red dot clearance sale…

This heathered blue tunic with sheer navy bottom is lightweight enough to work beautifully for Spring. With my 50% off coupon this Cable & Gauge tunic was about $9.00.

This open weaved and sequined number is by Razzle Dazzle and again lightweight enough for Spring at just $6.00. This will be so versatile and can be worn with any color tank underneath!

This beautiful emerald color just spoke to me!  It’s a wonderful Zac & Rachel shutter pleat blouse with knit sides for incredible fit and like an orange one I already own!!!  This cost me about $8.00 .

Gotta Love Steinmart’s clearance with additional 50% off coupon!!!!

Now for my Goodwill finds…

This forest green 100 % merino wool sweater by Tweeds is so warm and the cute black buckle is just the right touch And at just $2.50 ,just the right price…This might make my trip to Ireland, 8 months away and counting…

This Cable and Guage knit top is so much better than a tshirt and was $3.99

The cashier at Goodwill thanked me for purchasing this lace poncho as she was tired of picking it up off the floor…It is more of a raspberry color in person and I think will make a great topper for summer over tank tops..

If one poncho is good than two is better , right? I loved these Spring colors and it is lightweight as well.

The ponchos were each $3.99

Next Boho Skirts…

This white broomstick skirt has wonderful embroidery in orange and olive colors, for just $2.50

This color made me very happy and the fact that it was the color of the day and half off sealed the deal, for a mere$2.5o.

 This Old Navy Midi length skirt is lightweight and breezy in shades of grey that has a hint of olive to it…and also just $2.50.

With skirts like these running for $30 and up I was happy to find these to get me ready for Spring and Summer boho music festival nights at the beach!!!!  

Dear Readers, I hope you all have a Wonderful Valentine’s Day…

Do you have any special traditions?  For the past ten years or so my husband and I get takeout and go park his 15 passenger van somewhere secluded and sit in the back with tv tables because I hate busy crowds at restaurants on holidays… My 18 year old told me I should “step it up ” this year and suggested going to a fun movie theater called , Beach Movie Bistro that offers dinner and drinks wit your movie… So, I think that is what we will try!!

 I love how invested our children are in our marriage and will never forget my oldest at age 14 suggesting we go out for weekly date nights and that he would baby-sit all three siblings.. I’d never asked him to change a diaper and our youngest was about 8 months old at the time… I couldn’t believe he would agree to take that on, but he did and the kids had wonderful weekly nights on their own and so many memories that belong just to them!  

Gratitude

I am grateful for the weekend and a break from homeschooling.

I am grateful the snow missed us as our temps rose and it turned to rain,

I am grateful for any chance for date nights! 

I am grateful to wonderful readers who leave such wonderful comments that make my heart soar and always at moments when I wonder if my blog matters at all…
