Thrifty Penny Week



Kindly sponsored by
I like Lent. Surrendering the delight of something dear only sweetens a more moderate reunion.


In honor of Lent two thousand + eleven I have selected a spending fast.  Meaning, in addition to other extras, I refrain from the purchase of clothing for Missus, Mister, Little Miss, and Tiny Mister for a minimum of forty days. 

Even in case of emergencies (such as Baby Boyfriends a
pproaching Baby Blessing), we must borrow, trade, or remake.  

Sun Forever Dress, $34.99
And according to the official spending fast handbook, winning is also an acceptable means of maintaining Lent.

Therefore, I encourage you to win the DownEast New Arrival of your choice in time for Easter, without disturbing your nest egg:

  3. Thanks so much! My technological skills were being challenged, and I thought there was some sort of error--thus the duplicate entries for numbers 22 and 23. Please forgive the mistake!

  5. Thanks Sally,
    That piece is actually vintage. Check your local antique store or grandma's jewelry box, I bet you can find something similar.
