Not your typical sweatshirt, this one has style!
Shopping secondhand is one of the ways I like to find treasures and keep things out of landfills. I found this gray BENCH sweatshirt ($6) on one of our weekends in Kincardine where vendors set up along the street selling everything from handmade jewellery and clothes to crafts and big soft pretzels (yummy).
My pretzel necklace is from Germany.
The best part of shopping in Kincardine is the beach only two blocks away where you can find treasures of another kind: fossils, rocks and some rocks which are painted (and left in random spots to encourge the finder) and a communtiy garden along the beach.
Ironically, my sweatshirt is made by BENCH and I found this PRAY stone on a bench at the beach!
What treasures have you found?
fashion with compassion 
a great buy to this eye!!!!!!!!!

I’d be tempted to just stay at the pretzel stand all day, and buy 1 each time there’s a fresh batch! lol Did you find the pretzel necklace at the same time? A few years ago, Plant City did a big deal community thing about leaving rocks all over. There was even a prize for a certain one! Lots of fun!

Oh, yes, these fresh, soft pretzels were delicious! I bought the pretzel necklace in Germany on my last visit in 2015. Here’s the story …
You wrote a nice comment back then. 🙂
Isn’t the rock painting a great idea, I’m glad to hear it’s in your area too. I found one in Seattle while there a few yeras ago with an encouraging messaging …
The beach has so many of these because rocks are plentiful!

Yes, I kept it. 🙂 It said on the back to keep or pass on. I plan to make some more to bless others with encouraging Bible verses and kind words. ❤️

Thank you very much Terri! It’s comfortable and I’m glad it was my size because there was only. The painted rocks are so fun to find. My granddaughter and I painted a few in the past and I am inspired to do it again, now that I found a place where rocks are in abundance and to think how these simple painted rocks can be a blessing to others! 🙂

Thanks so much Ute! It’s definitely sweater weather again and I always wear an Unterhemd, layering helps keep me cozy. You’d love the beautiful community gardens, I thought of you. 🙂

The look is simple and beautiful, although I am not a fan of the camouflage print … but my dear Carmen, in these photos it is difficult for me to look at the look, I can only stare at your beauty, how beautiful and attractive you look in these photos . Your hair with such a wonderful mess, your eyes, your smile … You always look beautiful, but today more!
