Hello readers. It's been 6 months that I've been away from my blog. After my move last Summer and with starting a new school with my kids life just got really busy.
I hope this finds everyone well and off to a great start to Summer. We finished school May 24 and have already been to Maine on vacation. We have a few other trips planned this Summer, one to Hilton Head that we always enjoy.
I'll be back sometime soon with some things I love for summer. We just had a new AT Loft open here so I have enjoyed shopping there and finding some great summer items.
Be sure to check my Ebay items. I will be listing a bunch of great J Crew stuff today. My user id is Maddyandme.
See you soon
XO Molly

Turkey Day one week from today!!!
Hi everyone, just popped in to say I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving. We're headed out of town as my kids are off all next week. Can't wait. The weather has been really nice here so I hope that continues thru next week.
Anyone doing Black Friday? Or Black Thursday as I see many stores are starting on Thanksgiving day. Personally, I dont' think I have shopped on Black Friday. There is nothing that I need that day and I prefer to head to the mall after the rush dies down the following week while kids are in school. I am just not a big fan of the crowds. I also don't shop for myself either so I can get all the Christmas goodies I need for my kids and family on other days. I know many of you love the fun and rush of that day, me not so much!
I am waiting for my J Crew reward to arrive so I can buy a few items before the Holiday. I did recently pick up the puffin sweater at J Crew Factory which is really cute. I did see some great items that came out at J Crew but will hold off for a sale. Some of the items were a bit pricey.
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you. After the Holiday I will be hosting a give a way to CELEBRATE 2 years of blogging at MY CLOSET TRAVELS. The time has simply flown by. Safe travels to all of you who are going somewhere over the holiday.

Sale Recap and SNOW!!
Hello everyone, I promised a sale recap but before I dive into that I wanted to tell you that Hurricane Sandy is wrecking havoc everywhere including the mountains. We have snow and had a 2 hr delay today. It's not even Halloween yet, how can that be possible??
This Halloween will be very different for us. As another blogger mentioned many states celebrate Halloween on different days. In my last state, we never trick or treated on the actual day. This year, we will. Weather permitting, of course. We have Thursday and Friday off from school here so that will be a nice bonus for us.
So, on to the sale. This was my 3rd warehouse sale. There is something to be said for arriving very early and being in the first group. My friend and I were 36th and 37th in line and were in the first group to go in. We were able to set up our chairs and stay in our car so we could be warm. Keep in mind J Crew employees can go in Friday night and at 8 AM on Saturday. There were about 300 people that went thru before I actually walked in the door. If you are a diehard you should arrive before 5 AM!! This way you are guaranteed to go in first.
Everyone has said go for the jewelry ($5 each) and handbags ($20-$30 each) let me just say that any jewlery that was available at 9 AM was at the bottom of the boxes and it was all broken. The handbags, well, they were broken too. So no luck with that. I did snag a few Madewell and J Crew scarves for $5 and a tote bag for $ 5 for my daughter. I did not buy any jewelry, it was broken or missing gems.
I did find some wonderful dresses for myself. All were $20!!! I kind of knew ahead of time what I was looking for so I grabbed quickly, stuck it in my bag and carried on. I decided I would sort later. I found a sleeveless eyelet top, a few cardigans and a pair shorts. The shorts were $8 (regularly $98) the sweaters were each $20 but sold for $88 when they were offered at full price. The best buys were the cashmere sweaters for $25, they were in perfect condition and I found 2.
For those of you who are skeptical about every attending -you really should. I went back and walked right in on Sunday and found all new stuff. They restock throughout both days and before they open on Sunday. I have to admit it was a bit of a mess on Sunday but still worth the visit.
My friend traveled about 10 hours to join me and she found so many crewcuts items including cashmere sweaters for $6 each. YES, $6 each. They were adorable as are all the Crewcut items.
This sale was not nearly as crowded as the one back in August. I think they plan to hold these sales at least every other month. I am sure that are not as well attended when it's freezing cold and you have to wait outside. If you have any questions feel free to contact me and I'll be happy to answer any questions.
Happy Halloween and for those of you in Sandy's wake, stay safe my thoughts are with you all.

J Crew Warehouse Sale
HI everyone, I attended the Warehouse Sale over the weekend. I am happy to report that I was in the first group that went in. It was well worth the early arrival to guarantee I'd have the opportunity to snag some top rate items. And score I did. I will share my experience later this week.
My kids off are off school tomorrow so we're enjoying a nice long weekend. The leaves are at peak here, the weather is gorgeous. Life is good.......

Sunday OOTD
Hello, I hope everyone has a great start to this week. I love Monday's, I get charged up about getting things done on my to do list.
Since I moved to the South I was surprised to find that churches here are so "casual" and "laid back" The first time I went to church everyone knew we were new because we were so dressed up. If church starts at 10 AM then people arrive at 10 AM, not before, really!! Dress is very casual, no suits, ties or dresses. I am so used to my traditional service at the Methodist church back in West Virginia that it's taken me awhile to adjust. Yesterday I decided to join the ranks and were my Loft jeans. My outfit came together nicely. I had forgotten about purchasing this sweater when it first came out. I rec'd do many compliments. It's such a conversation piece.
Before I share my OOTD please check out my latest Ebay offerings. I have some great items for sale right now.
Have a great week.
XO Molly
