I love sharing where I’ve been friends and last Friday I had my first fun post surgery outing. I visited Susan Brierly Bush at her original Big Green Barn.

Susan and Karina were excited to greet all the shoppers!

So many curated treasures!

I found the perfect bowl for my diningtable. It was such fun to see Susan, Karina and meet some Insta friends for the first time too!

Susan holds sales periodically or you can visit her at her shop in Harding - 912 Mt. Kemble Ave. (same as Route 202 between Morristown and Bernardsville.) it’s located in a delightful area and I know you’ll find a treasure or two from her beautiful curation! Give Susan a follow on both her Instagram accounts Susan Brierly Bush and Big Green Barn.

Til next time friends be well and I’ll see you over on Instagram!

Hi Friends here I am sharing a few more pieces I’ve added to my closet. What can I say. I’ve lost a total of 22lbs and I wanted some lovely new things. I’m also excited to pull out dresses I’ve had for years and see how they fit.

I had my eye on this Navy Pintuck Dress from J.Crew but resisted putting it in my shopping bag until I saw it on Hillary of Tello and Rose from Instagram. The skirt is wide and I do so wish the dress had pockets but, oh well. I know I’ll have it in my wardrobe for years to come. The dress is a stretch twill which has the nice finish of a combed cotton.

My son has a special event at Church in June and I wanted something fun and vibrant. A dress I won’t need to think about and I think this dress from Tuckernuck fits the bill perfectly. It’s cotton and I like the feel of the fabric. All I need to do is decide on earrings and shoes and I’m all set. I showed the dress to my son and husband and both overwhelmingly approved the choice.

With my measurements I ordered a size M. When it arrived - it ran very tight through the underarm and across the chest. So I exchanged it for a Large. (the return and subsequent replacement all happened very quickly.) I may have the dress altered to take up a bit of the excess fabric on the sides. I certainly don’t wish to look larger than I am. But, I haven’t made up my mind yet.
