And the sky was made of amethyst.

Listed a few more items in the shop today! The last from my most recent shopping trip. Which means I'm going to have to have another soon- yay! Finding those special pieces is my favorite part, even though I get totally exhausted after just an hour of combing the crowded racks. I'm also attracted to so many different styles; it's like every single version of myself is there throwing in her two cents, but I know I have to refine my selections somewhat, and it's tough. Not like I'm-gonna-cry tough, but maintaining focus in a thrift store is not an easy feat. Honestly, I'm not sure I've ever truly done it.

My favorite piece we just added is this super soft and furry lavender sweater. It's the color I would dye my hair if I thought dye wouldn't totally destroy my already frazzled mane. It's seriously one of my favorite colors lately. One day right after the sun went down, the sky was this color, and I took about five million photos of it with Zero's phone. I'm sure he appreciated that. The best part is that the texture and color of the sweater are a nearly identical match for this little one-eyed dolphin that my niece Jenny gave me for my birthday, which she chose to do before I'd even seen The Cove and reconnected with dolphins and whales. She must be psychic.



Aren't they perfect for each other? I'd have such an awesome wardrobe if I kept every cool thing I've found in the past year. But I tend to wear the same things all the time, so it's better that I share rather than hoard. Somebody should be wearing this sweater on the regular.

Now that the holidays are nearly over, I hope to dedicate even more time to updating the shop and posting here. I know Nicole's with me on that. It's been difficult adjusting to running the shop apart, but I think we're finding our way. And who knows what 2012 has in store for Gets Galore? Some poetry, obviously. And maybe we'll be working together again before the year's out. Until then, I think we'll each find a lot of gems out there to share.
