Things are looking up...

The month of November gave us a string of bad luck that was tough to come out of. One totaled car, another car broken into, a rough month in pre-k...should I even go on?
I'll spare the gory details and get on to my first bit of good news from December.

We went thrifting 2 weekends ago as an attempt to pull ourselves out of the funk and I came across this little gem for $3.99:


A women's vintage Burberry trench coat in pristine condition! It took me a week, but I finally put it up on Etsy and today it sold for...wait for it....
$195.00

Thank you, December! I've been needing some good news!

What a great find!!! I don't think I could have parted with the trench though. :)

Holy schnikeys!!! I'm gonna have to actually get off my butt and start selling stuff....I can't believe you got that much for it! Something tells me it didn't fit you or you'd have kept it. ;)
