So remember how I have been hunting for a house plant for---well, a month or so?
Hmmm....haven't found one yet.
However, due to not going out of town today as was expected, I had a little extra time to do some exploring in my own home town.
It is a beautifully sunny day--cool but warmer than it has been. The perfect weather to get out and about.
Red and I headed down S. Grand to Chimichanga's for lunch---despite rave reviews via Urbanspoon, we left being glad we got that our of our system and with no intention of returning. ( I will say their chips were excellent....thin and light.)
That aside...
Red was meeting up with AD at Sump, so we headed down to Cherokee Street to Antique Row so I could pop into a few of my favorite places. By few, I mean one---where I found a fab old chair that I would love to buy and reupholster. (I'm kidding!!! Ok, no I'm not--but now isn't the best time.)
We left there for Red to hang with AD. I headed around the corner to Meremec and Grand---to an area known as Dutchtown.
Now. I had heard of Dutchtown, but I had never experienced it. And the row that had caught my eye was 4 stores of consignment/re-sale shops. You know I like that.
The first one-- Zaftig was great.
Here is where the confession part comes in.
I found a pair of J.Brand jeans for $17.00
This is an incredible find people. I couldn't pass it up. They fit (....besides needing to be hemmed a few inches) and they are beautiful. I say yes to that.
And the proprietor of the store was a sassy woman filled with personality. Bricks (her nickname) was not to be pushed aside. She even gave me some earrings for half-price. I say yes to that too!
Unfortunately, this means my hunt for a houseplant is on pause. I had set aside a little birthday money and have officially spent it.
So, future Houseplant? I say sorry to you. My heart is weak for good deals and the jeans beat you out. In a few months I'll make it up to you.

Those jeans were a great buy!
ReplyDeleteI don't think the house plant will mind ;)
