i went for a walk today in the 'hood, wellies and all, with the sole purpose of finding out some wedding dress info for Cess. i did, and then ended up walking by the Salvation Army on the way home. i decided to pop in to check it out and ended up buying three purses and two books, all for under $30 canadian dollars. i've said this before, but i think i found my new favorite store.

i bought a red pocketbook style purse, an ivory envelope clutch and a black cord messenger bag. the first two are no-name but the last one is a fossil so i paid the premium price of $12.00. not bad. i don't know that i can buy anything else there (like clothes or coats or ... shudder... towels and underwear) but accessories, i can handle. i forgot to look for a belt, though. guess i'll have to go back tomorrow.

and i can't believe i've lived 30 years in Vancouver and have never had a pair of rain boots. i used my new pair today and it was fantastic! my pant hems aren't wet and neither are my feet. my pants are a bit wrinkled from stuffing them in the boot, but they'll get over it, as will i.

oh, and the wedding dress? i checked out the designer's website and fricken eh, i want to get married just so i can buy one of her dresses!

I love hitting the thrift stores for those one-of-a-kind finds. I haven't been to the Salvation Army for a while - must stop in there soon.

Happy to see another West Coaster - I'm in Victoria.
