Yesterday, my husband and I played tourist and visited Historic Cold Spring Village in Cape May, NJ.
Cold Spring Village recreates an 1800’s town with 27 buildings on 30 acres housing demonstrations on domestic life, craftspeople, a one-room school house, tavern and other early American buildings.
All but one of the 27 historic buildings were moved from various locations in Cape May and Cumberland Counties in New Jersey and fully restored.
We saw the blacksmith, bookbinder, basket weaver and other craftspeople plying their trade. We also saw demonstrations on cookery and domestic life in the 1800’s.
The Village also has an 8-acre organic farm complex.
I dressed for the heat in white Charter Club shorts, a lacy Arianne tank top and Francesca overblouse, all thrifted. I think the total cost of this outfit (not including the sandals) was $9.00. Talk about frugal fashion! The thong sandals are Rockports that I’ve had for several years.
Here is an up-close of the top underneath. Isn’t the lace beautiful? Please excuse my VBL (visible bra line)!
Today, I’m linking up with Patti from Not Dead Yet Style for Visible Monday. Thank you for joining me on my frugal fashion journey! Please follow me here, on Bloglovin’ and/or on Instagram! And please feel free to comment — I’d love to know what you think!
Ooh, that lacy tank is gorgeous!
I might ask you to mentor me in the ways of Link Ups – I see them on some blogs but am not really sure how to go about being involved with them.

Bettye, I’m just a beginner at the link-up thing, but the ones I’ve done have had easy instructions on the host blogs. For the Visible Monday one, for instance, I go to the host’s web site (Patti at notdeadyetstyle.com), go to the bottom her post, which usually comes out on Sunday and has Visible Monday in the title) and click on a link there to join. You usually do a link to one of your blog posts (not to your blog in general) and include a link to the host blog in your post. If you have a link up you’d like to join, send me a message and we could both try to figure it out.
