What does 20 dollars at the salvation army get you?

A beautiful raw silk jacket and beaded tulip hemmed skirt combo, a slinky red silk brocade slip dress, a beaded brown low cut shirt from AE, a coffee grinder and a professional juicer. I nearly bought a Ralph Lauren silk pants suit but we only had a 20.

I am now set for any wedding invites, business dinners, and nights out clubbing if I need to. And I saved us quite a bit of money by checking those off of my 'wish list' for holiday and birthday gifts

Lucky you!

It got me a burning sensation in certain places and half a bottle of home-brewed alcohol.

Last time I went, it bought me a calf-length camel coat in beautiful condition, two pashmina scarves (cashmire) and the missing #2 bowl pyrex mixing bowl from a 3-set I've owned for years.

did the thief have a pang of conscience and deposited the bowl with the Salvation Army? What a stroke of luck to find it!

When I went to change, a neighbor kid walked into my house and saw me in my skivies. I am now quite embarrassed, and afraid I just scarred him for life.

I just gave his caretaker an earful about teaching manners, and supervising her ward.

Pics will have to wait until I am done being mortified.

WOW!! I will have to check out one of the local stores. Do they have a good selection in styles in the size 20 to 24 range?
