“As a well spent day brings happy sleep, so a life well spent brings happy death.”........Leonardo da Vinci

It is snowing! It is snowing hard and it has snowed all night AND all day! I am absolutely estatic! I love when it snows, how it builds up on the trees and transforms the city into such a magical place. Everything seems alright in the world when it looks like this. All is peaceful and serene and I just feel romantic and swoony. (If that is a word) You get the picture, I am HAPPY! All of this was compounded doubly when I stopped off at the Younique Boutique (local consignment shop) to peruse quickly and spotted these FAB-U-LOUS Frye boots for a mere $24! I scooped them up and was quickly disapointed when I saw that they were a size 8. One size to big. For $24 I had to buy them, I just had too, I figured I could sell them on ebay and make a few bucks. Imagine my surprise when I got home and slipped my foot in Cinderella style and they fit PERFECT! Oh I adore you thrifting Gods. So now I have the dilemma of sell or not to sell.... I already have two other pair of Frye boots, my closet is getting small! Excuse my scary happy smiles...I can't contain myself.

WHAT:
Jeans: Denim of Virtue
Sweater: thrifted...$1
Scarf: Banana Republic....ebay
Boots: Thrifted...$24...

WHERE:
I had the delightful pleasure of going to the Post Office today! OMGoodness! That place is absolutely ridonkulous! All I can say is thank goodness for online USPS! I waltzed right on by all of those poor people standing in the line that literally wrapped around the corner and into the abyss to drop my prepaid postage packages into the "large package" slot! I did feel a little guilty especially knowing that the postal service gives you a break in price when you do it online! AWESOME!!!! After that I tried but failed to buy my sister in laws Christmas gift and then home to do...of course CHORES! Tonight I will be attending my daughter's first band concert and then the traditional Christmas concert. WEEEEeeeee.....

  1. These pictures are fantastic and I too LOVE the serenity that comes with quiet, soft snow. I love it! I just hate it when the snow gets all dirty and old looking :(

    Those boot are fantastic! I NEVER find good boots at thrift stores around here. I would definitely NOT sell them. A girl can never have too many boots AND they're timeless, so you could pass them on to your girls!

    Oh, and Ritchie Bros. was who my dad used to work for! Too funny that you knew that!

  2. AHHHHHHH!! Those are the best boots in the whole KINTIRE WORLD! I am a size 8 too!!!! You have no Idea what this is doing to me! Trust me they are off the charts amazing and if they fit you, you should keep them! Or since your so close to the north pole, you could just give them to Santa because thats what I asked for this year. Sure, go ahead. He knows they are for me.
