I went to the mall yesterday. It was sweltering hot and crowded. I didn’t find anything worth even mentioning here. I did some local shopping last weekend and found a few things worth mentioning. One thing I picked up last year, but it will be forever worth mentioning. Fake chinchilla fur coat, I’m talking about you.

Necessities – Sunglasses ($14.99) and purse ($6.00)

Adair’s Shoe & Leather Repair – Handmade leather belt with permanent affixation of belt buckle ($28.00)

Rural King – Galoshes with HORSES on them ($23.99) and shirt ($4.99)

Brookston R&M Food Market – Hat ($1.00! Yes! $1.00)

Alex’s Apparel- Faux Chinchilla Fur Coat- I purchased this last year, but it remains my favorite local find – ($60.00)

Thank you to Jennifer Foglesong-Martin, for taking my pictures.
