Shopping victories!

Not long ago, I got a beautiful $39 sweater at Penny's for $4.97. It was on clearance, but can't figure why, since it's not a summer-type sweater. The one and only Christmas gift I have bought so far...............

It is probably a shade someone has decided is "last year's color" ... although that is just the whims of store buyers and fashion maven wanna be folks!

Nope - it's black. Really pretty - a v-neck and a part mohair blend, so it is super soft and silky. It has very tiny black sequins throughout the yarn, so it has just a tiny bit of sparkle to it. It could be worn casual, or dressy and holiday-ish! It seems that a whole lot of clothes lately, have that little extra bling to them.

My Mom was extremely allergic to tomato so everything and every label had to be carefully checked. There's tomato in so many foods that her choices were quite limited. If she sliced one and got the juice on her hand she immediately had a reaction. Mom was thrilled when our local pizza joint started making white pizza - no tomato sauce, only cheese and whatever topping you wanted. To Mom it was a super treat.
