Busy Weekend

So, yesterday we went on an exotic excursion off the island to thrift - find cool used stuff at second hand and vintage clothing stores. The hubster made out like a bandit. He found an amazing grey wool coat at the Antique Mall in Fremont; a cool grey vest at a vintage clothing store, also in Fremont; and a real neat black pinstriped shirt at Buffalo Exchange in Ballard. We were able to find all of these great stores thanks to a fellow blogger, Dottie Angel. She so kindly answered my email request for names of thrift stores in the greater Seattle area. She has a wonderful blog you should check out sometime. You can find a link to her website to the left if you are interested.

No jewelry making of any kind went on this weekend due to the urgency of finding the above-mentioned pieces of attire for hubbie's Mystery Weekend costume. His character has changed and thus the costume change. He's been Hershel Barr for the last four years now. His new alias is Al Betseroff. Being a reformed gambler, it was imperative that he have a new, cleaner image.



Langley's Mystery Weekend is in its 26th year of production. If you want to have a weekend of good clean fun, come visit us on February 27th and 28th in downtown Langley. I, unfortunately, will not be participating this year. A much needed educational opportunity has come up and I will be unable to play Al's wife this year. As far as I know, he has a new wife this year.

Today was picture day for the cast. So, here's a sneak peek at some of the usual suspects...
