Birthday Boy Bash

100% silk jersey, $2.99

Today September 28, this gorgeous hunka hunka burnin' love is 51 years old. For his celebration he decided that we should go out to lunch and have Mexican food, (how unusual!) and Margaritas.
But first, how about a trip to the Rumdum? At our house any resale shop is a Rumdum, referencing my old Aunt Dot, who never once in her life bought anything brand new. All her kids' clothes were used, faded to the point of weak pastels and then starched til they stood on their own. WE made fun of these poor kids, my cousins, but now we know better. It was recycling before recycling was kool.
Dave likes the Goodwill store as much as I do, so we leapt at the chance to shop for bargains together.


A perfectly fitting, brand new navy sport coat.



Tommy Hilfiger made this just for Dave, with three zippers, one at each wrist and the neck.


Liz Clairborne raglan rag knit in yummy cotton, fits perfect and exactly the right sleeve length for my short tyrannosaurus arms.
I am also the proud owner of three new pairs jeans, a Ralph, a Calvin and a Tommy in RED. My philosophy of jeans aquisition is to buy it if it fits, no matter how many pairs I already own.
All these new clothes ( warning to my closet!!) $27.62!
Then we went out to lunch and the report remains foggy from here on out. I woke up. Which is always good.
Happy Birthday Darling! And many happy returns of the day, all my love, Mel

  1. Damn! Evidently where you live they put the "good" in Goodwill. Great buys! I never have any luck at the ones around here. (Well, not with clothes to wear anyway. I occasionally find something good to pick apart for the buttons or fabric.) Yay on the new clothes!

    And happy birthday to Dave. My honey will be turning 50 on Monday.

  6. Big fan of the sweater with zippers for men. That is some fancy schmancy Goodwill that you two are frequenting. HB to your young man. T's 40th is coming up next Wednesday. We all seem to adore the younger men, don't we?

  7. Happy Birthday Dave! Great finds!
    If only we had sweater weather here (its still high 90s in AZ).

    I'm peeking over your shoulder at the red wall. Did you pick the colors for your walls? Are all the rooms colored?

  8. Goodwill rocks! I get most of my cashmere and silk yarns from recycled sweaters. I'm even working on a sweater now from a Goodwill $4 sweater. 100% alpaca Yeah!
