Framed

Two things that have kept me from posting much this month. One, I’ve been trying not to acquire new things, but I did get frames for art I’ve been meaning to hang up for a very long time and a new Kent Monkman gliclée that I got. It was part of a free limited series that was distributed around town. I got mine at the Brockton Haunt.

I was also trying to write a novel for NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month), so my blogging time was taken up with trying to write 50,000 words in 30 days. I didn’t finish, but the whole process helped me establish some good writing habits which I intend to keep up until I finish (then I will have to establish good editing habits).

Quickly, here are two cool thrift shop finds, only one of which is clothing. Pictured above is a very cool 1974 Seiko. I was meeting Mr. Andrew for dinner at Latin World which just happens to be across the street from a Salvation Army Thrift. I was a little early so I popped in headed straight to the jewelry section and spotted this timepiece.

Below is a Gant trench coat. I always struggle with trenchcoats. Part of me thinks they are a wardrobe essential. Another part of me only feels that they are only practical for two weeks each year. I’ve found several Burberrys in the past and always end up getting rid of them for this reason. And then I always end up regretting getting rid of them and looking for a new one. The circle of life.

I made a long distance trip to a Salvation Army store I’d never been to before. There was lots of good stuff I could’ve bought but again, my closet is stuffed.
