Very Profitable Friday

Just returned from the consignment shop where I dropped off a pair of shoes and some clothes. I had a very nice amount of money waiting for me from last year’s sales. Hubs treated me to lunch afterwards.
My granddaughter posted a cute video on TikTok with her parents. I grabbed a screenshot of her from yesterday going to Cafe de Monde for their yummy beignets. They are delicious! My son called me this morning to let me know that our granddaughter received a $10,000 academic scholarship to Tulane. No one told me about it before.
Finally home about to have my Friday martini when a friend dropped by with 3 Chanel baseball caps for me! Too big for her head, so she thought of me! I guess she thought I had a pinhead, but they are adjustable.
. I offered to pay for them, but she refused. Must do something special for her before we leave Florida.
I guess good things can happen in threes, too. Do you use consignment shops?

Nope, never tried those shops, but we always shopped at second-hand places and often got good clothes that were maybe worn once, especially winter jackets and such. Congrats to your granddaughter on the scholarship. When are you going back to Connecticut?

I once bought a Chanel blouse in Scottsdale with the original price tag on for a song. Otherwise, I just drop off my old stuff and collect the money.
Thank you! My son was ecstatic. Wish he told me sooner so I could congratulate her in person.
We’re leaving here April 30th. My friends keep asking me when we’re coming back. I really can’t wait to get back. I’m itching to garden and see everyone again.

@DianneN yes, I have fond memories of the state. Where are you again, and are you far from Trumbull?

@RasmaSandra We aren’t far at all from Trumbull. We’re northwest of New Haven in Woodbridge.

Congratulations to your granddaughter. How wonderful for her. Maybe your granddaughter would enjoy one of those hats.

Snooping in thrift shops is always lots of fun, especially when you can find the perfect thing at a really good price!

Consignment shops are a great idea, but usually when stuff leaves my house it is too worn out to resell.

It is no trouble at all. I told the owner that I will come next year with Christian Louboutin shoes from home and other things I don’t wear anymore, and she couldn’t stop thanking me. I have other things she wants, but no one is ever getting them except my DIL and granddaughter. Those designer things are in high demand, especially these days, and you can make excellent extra cash.

No, last time I did..I am not sure anything got sold. The only ones I made money from were ones where I sold toys my son had outgrown. I used to sell on FB marketplace though. That worked out pretty well.

The coffee is strong at the Cafe de Monde
The donuts are too hot to touch
And just like a fool, when those sweet goodies cool

No, I haven’t tried a consignment shop.

There are no consignment shops here and I doubt we'd have anything they'd be interested in selling.

I don't think I have ever seen or heard of a consignment store here Dianne.
But well done on getting money from sales in the store
Hope lunch was good.
I have however heard of Beignets
And boy I would gladly happily merrily and joyously eat them all up
I am shocked I have never had them before
Congrats to your grand daughter on the scholarship to Tulane.
Good things can come in 3,s
