The Busyness of Life...

Wow!  It's been four months and I haven't blogged here for so long!

But I have found some great bargains while I have been out and about in my travels.  

I haven't been looking at Glo-Mesh Handbags so much - as I have so many, I don't think I need them so much anymore.  It's nice to have the collection I have in the suitcase; and they're so lovely to use when I want to use them - but that suitcase is so darned heavy!

But I have been updating the wardrobe!  On Wednesday just gone - payday - I went out to Life Line at Logan Central and scored myself a couple of wicked purple tops for around $9.00ea!  Very sweet seeing Winter is coming in and I need something nice to protect my neck now I don't have much hair.  

For those who haven't been keeping up with my other blog - and my Facebook page - I did the World's Greatest Shave, and shaved all my long red locks off!  A lot of it went to Pantene's Beautiful Lengths Promotion for them to make it into a wig for somebody to use while they undergo Cancer treatment.  But it takes 6 ponytails to make one wig.  So, my ponytail will be one of many... but I'm pleased anyway.

I also found a lovely burgundy wrap at Life Line for $5.00 too!  How cool is that?  I'm so pleased I'm finding some lovely clothes and things to wear to match my hair... plus I look much better with make-up on than without it.

And yesterday, I went to Rivers at Springwood and found a box of scarves near the door for $1.00ea!  So, I went through them all and found some lovely colours to go with my clothes; and they'd be nice to use in the car for days when the days are cooler as they're not too big.  I did go there to buy a coatigan (long cardigan) but they didn't have my size; but I came away with things that were much more beautiful.  

So, now you know what I've been up to - and why I've been so quiet lately - let me know what bargains you've found.  Until my next post, happy bargain hunting.

Bright And Colourful!

Winter is here in Brisbane and the South East Corner of Queensland and so is the Winter stock in the charity stores around the area!  And so, I was out and about shopping today and dropped into my usual haunt of a Life Line and found some great things!  

Seeing I'm hoping to have a change in wardrobe over the next year, I spotted a lovely scarf and beanie set which were made from colours which totally matched me.  I tried on the beanie and it fitted!  I love it!  Both of them - as a set - was only $5.00!  How wickedly cool is that?
Then, I spotted a lovely crocheted bag - a rainbow bag - with a lovely blue centre; but the zip is broken!  Oh well, I don't care... it's just lovely.  This was $6.00.  What lovely set! 

And because I took so many photos of me wearing the beanie and scarf, I didn't know which one to use to show them off... so I made a collage with them all in it!
