A Blessing...

 So this morning - I had a feeling that I needed to get to the nearby, little thrift store earlier than I usually do. So I since I knew they opened at 10:00am- I headed out shortly after 10am.

When I got there - there were several boxes of stuff right inside the door. Someone had just donated the stuff. The lady that runs the place is a really nice lady and many times we chat while I am there. So today we were talking and she decided to go through the stack just a bit to see what kind of stuff had been dropped off. And just a few things down was a treasure that was there just for me!!!

 

Yep- This beauty was in the pile. It is in excellent shape. Such a beautiful coat. And do you see the fur around the neck and on the sleeves? It is lined with that soft fur. It feels amazing. And even though the size it was marked looked like it would be too small for me - it fits me perfectly!!

When I got home - I looked up the coat - a "Gallery Woman" coat- and from Nordstrom - it was originally $330.00 and was half price for like $164.00. You can check it out for yourself. 

Oh and I forgot - the best part!!!

The Price:

$10.00

 

What a blessing this is to me!!! I have needed a nice coat - that was nice enough to wear to church for a long time. I just don't have the big bucks to spend on a coat- that may not be used very often- or it might be used a lot. All I know is that this is an awesome coat- and I could not have asked for a better blessing!!

 

You want to hear something funny?

 

So I buy this awesome coat. And later in the afternoon- I spend a couple hours outside trimming rose bushes, cutting down small prickly trees from the chicken yard, cutting old dried, dead herbs out of my herb garden to make room for the already growing herbs underneath! It was a beautiful day!! We also were able to go get some of the supplies to build the roof for the chicken pin. I wish I had have taken a before photo- maybe I can find a photo that will show what we were doing. But whatever, I will take a photo to let you know what it end up looking like! I am excited to have it done and know that we will not longer have to put the $$ into it every 6 months or so- and we will have an area for the chickens that is fairly dry.

 

Oh - Be sure to stop by tomorrow - because I will be sharing what chickens we have ordered- we got that done tonight as well. We had to - we had already missed the week we wanted to get our baby chicks due to one of our chickens selling out - so we had to order them a week sooner than we were wanting, but it's not a big deal. We were able to get our girls and that is what is important. :O)
