Domo Arigato

Well, in Huntington Beach, little shops come and go. Sometimes, as in the case of Happyness Consignment, I am really sad to see them go. But, we have a new little store that opened right around the corner. It's called Daiso, and it's the Japanese version of the 99 cent store mixed with Spencer Gifts. They have all kinds of crazy stuff for $1.50 per item.

So yesterday, it rained. Since it rained, I couldn't go running. I did one Turbo Jam workout and then got bored. So I went and checked out Daiso. Looky looky what I got:

A canvas board for a portrait of Kenni and a bag of suit covers to keep my nice suits in (there are 6).

A bag of four kitchen towels for Isabel and some hot pink scissors to match my office desk set.

A good luck kitty bowl for Elli to eat from, and a little glass lotus to keep my rings in after I take them off, but before I put them away.

 

 

A hair clip with square crystals and a linen visor. And the piece de resistance?

Dog clothes!!! I got Elli a Brasil soccer jersey and a pink swimsuit. I know, I am ill. And the soccer jersey came on the cutest hanger that I will save.

OMG. A sad Japanese emoji Chihuahua. But I wasn't all discount crazy. I did get myself two pair of ankle booties as one of my endless birthday gifts to myself. Here are the black suede ones:

They have smooth leather straps criss crossing them. I also got a slightly crazier burgundy pair.

They have a million buckles, but as you can see, they zip up.

BIRTHDAY UPDATE: In addition to the fabulous decorations and breakfast, my coworkers gave me a nice spread

Look at that fruit tart.

 

 

The little one is for me to take home for Doc. In the box:

A Nordstrom gift card, some candy and a wine stopper shaped like a high heel.  Finally, they got me a crown.

Nice Highlights, eh? (Number 64, Cinnamon). Thank you, thank you, generous friends, for remembering me and taking the time out of your day to make mine special - I know that time is VERY valuable for some people, and it's nice to see that people care about good old me.

Also, my grandson Preston sent this to me :

That's his faithful Yorkie, Baxter, helping him. Here's a closeup of the sign.

Then I went to tennis. When I got home, this was on the doorknob.

From my other three grandkids!!! They gave me some earrings and a cell phone wallet. I can use this bright pink wallet, because I can never find my black phone in the depths of my purse.

 

 

b So onto today's outfit. It's my grey SunMoonStars cigarette pants, with a vintage jacket by Patra on top.

Here's a better look at the rhinestone trim on the jacket.

The tunic sweater underneath is a grey short sleeve number with lurex shot through it.

This color combo gave me a chance to wear my white resin statement necklace.

I went with silver and white for my jewelry, too. On the left, a costume bracelet with crystals and a mother of pearl ring

On the right, a costume bracelet that I got on Ebay, and a sapphire floral ring.

I finished the outfit with my new black suede booties.

And since today is Wednesday, I am once again linking with www.thepleatedpoppy.com for What I Wore. I join up every Wednesday with Lindsey. Have a great day!!!
