On Sunday the family drifted in and out of my parents' house, visiting and picking at leftovers. Except for my pants, pretty much everything I'm wearing is a new Christmas gift.
I went to my maternal grandmother's house for a while in the afternoon. My maternal grandmother (Granny S.) was clearing some items out of her closet and offered me a Navy leather coat. Very lightly lined, it will be perfect for spring and fall.
Granny S. also invited me to look through all of the vintage jewelry that she no longer wears and take anything I wanted. Granny S. had an amazing collection of funky vintage pieces, mostly from the 1960's, but some from the 1970's. Mostly brooches, bead necklaces and clip-on earrings. I now own about a dozen more brooches and bead necklaces than I did two days ago. I only took two pairs of clip earrings, including the gold flowers that I'm wearing today.
Where:
hanging out with my family at their various homes, visiting Johnstown and having drinks at the top of the inclined plane
What:
Pink Sweater: 2009 Xmas gift from my parents
Necklace: 2009 Xmas gift from my parents
Starfish brooch on necklace: vintage from Granny S.
Black Silk Pants: Express
Grey Cardigan: Old Navy (thrifted)
Gold Hoop Earrings: from Granny R.'s 2009 Xmas goody bag
Gold Bracelet: from Granny R.'s 2009 Xmas goody bag
Gold Clip Flower Earrings: vintage from Granny S.
