beneath the glass: The Space Between the Lines

My son is turning six next Friday (I know, when did I get to be so old?) and his grandparents gave him money for his present, so yesterday we went to his favorite place- Toys R' Us. It was like taking me to Bloomingdale's, handing me some money, and telling me to pick whatever I wanted. He ran from aisle to aisle and was talking to himself rationally ("Hmm, if I buy this, then I'll have less money for this" "this is cheaper, so I could get both of these"), too cute.

Then we went to Goodwill, which is conveniently located right in the same area. It's funny how sometimes you look online, in catalogs, out of town, etc. for those certain pieces you want, then you unexpectedly find them when you're not looking. Case in point: I've been dying for a kimono jacket (I have a vintage patchwork one on the way, but its a different style from what I have been hunting for) but everywhere I've been online (Spanish Moss Vintage for example) has been sold out. So imagine my surprise when I found a gorgeous teal one for $7. It's not exactly the style I was looking for, but at that price, who am I to argue? With that and other things I'm waiting to wear that are long sleeved, my excitement for Fall to come has tripled.
