What have you bought recently?

Bought a new backup, pocket camera while the big DSLR is in the hospital getting a brain transplant or something.

I bought that camera a couple of years ago..took it on holiday, it was terrible.I got some good indoor shots with it, but the Viewfinder was horrible..I returned it, I wasn't about to lose £600

Sorry to hear that. So far I am OK with the outdoor shots (sample below) but am primarily using it as a grab/point/shoot camera. and not one where I use the viewfinder or mess with the settings.

Problem with me, Ruthanne, is that I'm just so darned old-fashioned, where once I get stuck in my ways liking something or using something, there's just no swaying me.
You think that you're old fashioned Marg? What does that make me?
Blue &white blazer 007.JPG
This blazer that I bought a few weeks ago, may be of a modern cut, or style, but the fabric is distinctly pre-war. I love it.
To make an ensemble of it, Tina, my wife, is going to make the trousers, she going to buy a cotton fabric that will match the light pebble blue of the blazer.

These period shoes will be just the job when the trousers are finished.
Borsalino.jpg
This Borsalino straw hat is the chosen lid, just don't ask the price.
cravat.jpg
The shirt will be white or pebble blue and I shall wear it with a cravat.
 
Today I bought, Gold twist earrings
...a red summer straw hat
... several pieces of potions & lotions, and make-up...

Floral cotton shorts for when I'm in the garden...because my denim knee length shorts are always too hot out there...

Another box of latex gloves..( the price is ridiculous compared to last year)

some fruit scones, and some Chocolate fresh cream Éclairs...

LOL!

I don't think I'm old-fashioned, Horseless, I am old-fashioned! :giggle:

Now that's what I call a summer outfit! The shoes are over-the-top WOW, and the Borsolino hat is fantastico!

Now that's how to dress!

Would love to see the trousers when tailored! Heck, would love to see you in the outfit!

Chocolate fresh cream Éclairs... Oh Holly, how could you? I can resist anything, except temptation. Get behind me Satan.
 
Couple clearance things for the baby, two shirts for me that were a dollar on clearance, hmm, a jar of lemon marmalade to try, and a cookie which I shared with the baby. Oatmeal raisin and she only ate the raisins 🙄; but she said “grandma share?” What could I do but share the cookie. 😢
 
A Stiletto Rose from Lowe’s and, surprise, I paid full price 😂. It is amazingly fragrant and will be great for cut flowers for the house. Husband will dig the hole tomorrow
Husband did not dig hole, I did. He is just too weak from being sick. Said he couldn’t breathe. Hmm. Imagine his surprise when I pulled out the oximeter, popped it on his finger, and, yup, he’s breathing just fine. So he says, well, it’s hard to breathe sometimes. 🤦🏻‍♀️

OMGosh, just go back into the house Mr. I want a yard. Sooo, I am, as usual, working in the yard. He’s missed two days of work. He is working his regular shift on Sunday whether he can breathe or not!

My new shoes have arrived, they are every bit as good as they look but I am troubled. There is no country of manufacture on the shoes, the box or the consignment note. These shoes were discounted and a steal at just £45. What troubles me, is my bargain buy someone else's 16 hour sweatshop labour?
