Ruffled Drawstring Jacket

Mike Wolfe, the reality cast member of the  TV show “American Pickers” has a saying that resonates with me. “When you see it, you buy it.” I  tried explaining this to my husband David, but he just gave me sort of a zombie stare. But when we were watching the show just the other night, Wolfe repeated his famous line, “When you see it, you buy it.” “See honey,” I explained to my husband, “that’s the way it works.”  My husband wasn’t convinced. But that’s okay. As long as I stay within my budget, I’ve got some room to play.

This beautiful lightweight jacket is a perfect for fall. I love the feminine ruffles, the fun shape and the deep pockets. I found it at a little out-of-the-way antique store called Enduring Comforts, in the town of Freestone. The shop has a fantastic collection of antiques plus a great selection of jewelry and accessories. Located between Bodega Bay and Sebastopol, the store is right next door to the landmark Wild Flour Bakery, just off Bodega and Bohemian Highways.

I wasn’t really looking for another jacket, but when I saw it, I fell in love with it. And when I found out it was only $48. dollars, I just couldn’t pass it up. Like Mike Wolfe says…
