Recycled materialism, how I ♥ you

[sexy_romulan]

So here's what I bought today:

* one fabulous whimsical coat-of-many-colours appliqued jacket, for which I must now find an orange or possibly sky blue skirt to match - $30
* one set of cross country ski poles, since the baskets on my old ones are broken in pieces and they were too short anyway - $4
* a pile of excellent gardening magazines which were part of a stack that I picked through; I am now regretting my frugality, I should have taken the lot of them - $2
* a lovely Degas poster never actually taken out of its packaging - $2
* assorted books - $0.50 to $1 apiece
* a nice coffee table from usedottawa.com in approximately the same style as our dining room table - $40

Next year we will have to make sure to get there at 8 AM with the wagon of plant show fame, or at least a knapsack.

Until then, you can totally wear that coat with those dark denim trousers you've got. (That's the handy thing about jeans - they're technically a 'neutral' and can be worn with everything. ;-)

Ah, but the trick is that the background fabric of said jacket is denim, so it doesn't look quite right with denim pants. Khakhis will be the name of the game, I theenk.
