Hidden Gem #3: Black Tassel Loafers

I've been coveting men's loafer shoes for a while now and I almost bought some the other day at Nordstrom, when Lindsey stopped me, saying that I could probably find some at a thrift store that didn't make me look like an elf and would cost a 1/4 of the price (the $40 Steve Madden pair were curiously small looking on my feet). So when I saw these at the Novato Hospice a few days later I was delighted! Size 8, in perfect condition, $8. Of course Sister Thrift had been right, and they've been on my feet every day since.

Hidden Gem #2: Copper Tea Canister

I went in this thrift store looking for a cake platter and I came out with this adorable copper tea canister ($5) and a new water bowl ($6) for the pups. This place is huge!  A two story treasure trove of anything your heart could possibly desire.  Furniture, tons of holiday decor, rows and rows of clothing that I didn't even get to.  I was surprised they didn't have a cake platter because they had tons of kitchenware and serving dishes of all sorts.  I will find that cake platter though and I will be back to Savers in Redwood City.

Hidden Gem #1: Striped Flower Shirt

Does this look like a popcorn bag or something Leslie Caron would wear circa "An American In Paris"? According to Jorgen, it looks like the former, but for $4 I don't really care. I bought this on a whim at Novato Goodwill and I will be wearing it either to my next carnival or on Bastille Day.
