Our youngest son, Patrick, is a graduate student living in Boston. Unfortunately, visits with him, these days, are not as often as we'd like.
Out of the blue, he texted me--one particularly busy afternoon last week--sending along the sweet pic of him featured above, with a short note and "Love you!" I've gotta say... That impromptu message absolutely made my day!
A few weeks ago, I began sifting through a few items he left behind--here at the house. They are things he's outgrown or discarded. Pictured below, are a few of my faves.
These skull-themed toe socks are adorable, aren't they? I'm dating myself right now, but back in the 70's, I used to love wearing toe socks with open-toed wedge shoes. I think this would be a fun look this fall--especially in October!
Look at this one! It's a Banana Republic argyle sweater, and it was a "rescue" project... When I discovered it, it had been shrunken to kid-sized small, I soaked it in a bit of tepid water along with a shampoo that contained creme rinse in it. After a while, I stretched it back into shape.
Voila! Good as new!

This shirt was featured in yesterday's blog post. I love the classic stripes!

Share with me your recent experiences on hitting the mother lode. I would LOVE hearing about them!
Joy and peace, T.
