An [almost] Perfect Day.

Like most blogger ladies, I am uber busy. So, when I get a free day, I make the most of it. I had a job interview (hoping for the best!) in the morning, in Carlisle. I decided to make a trip to Miss Ruth's and Georgie Lou's while in the vicinity. I did my best to look professional...

The suit coat and dress was only $3.19 at Ross and the Guess bag $7.50. After the interview, I went to the business district and had hot chocolate and a scone at Helena's Chocolate Cafe' and Creperie.

I spent a fun time talking to Georgie Lou at her candy shoppe

If you've never been here, you have to check it out. Old time candies and novelties, and she ships too! You facebookers can go to her page and like her too.

After Georgie Lou's, off to Miss Ruth's to check out coats.

The remodeled shoppe is so much roomier that before. There were a lot of coats I wanted, but I needed an every day, warm coat since temps are below freezing now.

I decided on this one. I don't know what vintage it is (I'm guessing 80s) but it's comfy and warm. I never leave before looking through the $2 bin, and it paid off! I found this 1940s Plasticflex purse.

I couldn't believe nobody had snatched this darling up!

I said almost perfect, because while I was having fun talking and shopping, the meter maid gave me a present...

Oh well, it was only $5, well worth a day out.

A Candy Emergency

These pictures are actually from last Friday. It is  busy time at work and we've had a lot going on. I was fully planning on coming home last Friday and posting my Friday Frock when Mary called. She and Dawn were putting Christmas Candy bags together for the kids in York who wouldn't get otherwise and ran out of candy. I picked up a few big bags and headed there to help fill the rest of the bags to be handed out.

This dress was my mothers. I just always liked it and it has been mine since she passed away 19 years ago. Mary had bought tons of children's clothes from the Thrift shops and I was boxing them up for handing out.

Mary was a little wonky on pain meds for a bad hip.

A bit of silliness.

I have to admit, I am not feeling very Christmasy this year. I have not decorated or made any plans. I still haven't sold my house and haven't moved into the new place yet. My things are all in boxes and I am feeling very unsettled. Someone told me this past Monday, don't worry if your house is decorated for Christmas as long as your heart is ready for Christmas.
