I am feeling better now. (*cheer*) It took a little Vick's vapo inhaler, some vitamin C, lots of water & the purchase of a cool mist humidifier.
Picture 1: describes how I felt.Now tell me why they must make a inhaler look like a tampon?? I would really like to know.
In the minutes after I purchased this I wanted to use it. (BUT I waited... because I was parked in front of a sand which shop which had people eating inside looking out of the windows.) I thought ... if I put this up to my nose I may scare them. Or Worse they may think I am inserting a tampon in my nostril.
I also realized there isn't and never will be a sexy way to use one of these.
If you REALLY need to use it.. pretend you are looking in the glove box and *sniff sniff* quickly.

So there you have it!
This year I have plans to have a table at the flea market every couple of weeks or so. I buy stuff for myself... but alot of other times I find vintage items that are priced so low it would be a sin not to buy them and re-sell them for some spare cash. I have done a bit of re-selling on classified sites. But I hate having strange people come to my house to purchase things. So obviously a flea market setting would be a little more ideal.
~So that is one of my plans for Spring~
I also plan on loading up my Etsy shop (Which has been dormant and empty for months now *lol*) In the near future.
I am ordering Galaxie my mannequin a new wig. Because I dislike the one she came with. (Yes I know that sounds very weird.. but once I get something in my head... there is no going back.)
I really need to start selling stuff... WHY? YOU ASK?
Because GARAGE SALE SEASON is right around the corner.
p.s. The reply button has not been working for me. But I see it's working for others... SO HOPEFULLY it is fixed now.
I hate being sick but you still look cute even when sick.Love the confetti earrings,deer jar and lamps!!
ReplyDeleteI wonder what the chances are in finding a bracelet SUPER CHEAP to match the earrings. *lol*
DeleteMaybe in the next 5 years or so.. =D
Especially love the lamp and the powder jar!
ReplyDeleteI told myself no more cute vintage jars... But when I spotted the deer jar on the shelf I just had to ask the price. Once I heard under $5 all of my common sense flew out the window!!
DeleteGlad your feeling better. Wow what great finds love the first doll and your little glass dishes with lids those are pretty and that lamp is gorgeous. dee xx
ReplyDeleteI am glad also. I think as soon as I feel stuffy in the future I will plug in the humidifier.. I swear that helped so quick!
Delete=D
Glad to hear your feeling much better!! I love that little kewpie doll and those curtains are gorgeous. xx
ReplyDeleteI am gonna need the Mr. to put up a wall shelf so my kewpies have somewhere to live. I just can't resist their smiling faces. (I better be careful what I say..) Cause just last week I watched a episode of Hoarders and the lady's house was just FILLED WITH DOLLS! It was sort of creepy...
DeleteOh I love those hilarious inhaler pics - I walk around with one jammed up each nostril when I have a cold!
ReplyDeleteAll of your goodies are delightful and I especially LOVE the cute recipe holder (I have my Mum's from the 60s) and the cute blue jar and the pink powder jar!
Sarah xxx
LOL I just picture you looking like a sexy walrus, with them two inhalers up your nose. =p
Delete(YOU NEED to show us your recipe holder when you find the time. I would like to see it.)
I bought a (Almost full) Better Crocker recipe box from the thrift for $2 DEAR GOD it has some amazing and odd recipes.... I love it)
Glad you are feeling better. I love the blue and pink glass you picked up they are gorgeous (very jealous).
ReplyDeleteI really love the glass stuff. I just wish I had more space to display it. (I pass up most I see sadly... But when they are small I make an exception)
DeleteHopefully in my future there will be a 50 or 60's home (With a giant kitchen & built in display cabinet.) *hehe*
Ah thers our special lil coconut Glad you all better and your tampon inhaler worked lol I havent tried one on years.
ReplyDeleteMy fav buy you bought is that lamp it is really lovely.
I am seling lots too se my blog for the reason xx
I think I will keep buying the scented tampons!
Delete*lol* They say they last for 3 months. I paid $4.50 I suppose that is a pretty darn good deal.
The lamp is quite lovely I like the tall shade. I was walking down the stairs to the lower part of the store when I spotted it. I actually RAN and grabbed it. Like it was some sort of award!!! *Bwhahaha*
You will have to let me know how a facebook store works out for you.
I think you would do GREAT on Etsy. The fees are alot cheaper than DAMNED E-bay and your listing stays for months. Just like my inhaler.
;)
Eeeeeeeeek!!! That pink Bambi powder jar is absolutely amazing!!! I also really love the recipe holder - I need to get myself one of those! Great deals on the lamp and jewellery box too!
ReplyDeleteYou have to take a picture of Hazel with all her organised jewellery boxes and jars! xxx
I bet you could find a recipe box for a good price online. But then again who knows.... the tin collectors might BUY EM ALL UP! *lol*
DeleteI will do some Hazel posts in the near future.
I had everything all planned in my head before I got her of how it would be organized. But now that I have her I am constantly switching things around. *hahaha*
=D
You found some great loot! Especially loving the lamp and fawn powder jar!
ReplyDeleteGlad you're feeling better-
As obscene as thos Vicks inhalers are they really do provide instant relief!
LOL I agree they do provide relief quickly. I think they will become my new (secret) friend.
DeleteI will hide them up my sleeve when I am in public and I am stuffed up. *hehe*
Glad your feeling better.I first thought that was a tampon until I started reading.lol.Love the dolls and that lamp is cool.that deer jar is so cute.I love all depression glass stuff.Cute curtains and the earrings.
ReplyDelete*LMAO* Now do you really think I would shove a tampon in my nostril for a blog post??? HAHAHAHA
DeleteThats a good way to get un-followed.. I would scare off the normal people and would only be left with crazies like myself. ;)
Glass stuff always reminds me of old grannies and I JUST LOVE IT ALL. (Old Grannies included)
We not only buy faux furs in sync, now we have congestion/colds/dreaded poorliness at the same time too! This is too weird... I am about to go and steam my head so I don't have to pull a face like that first one - tho that is exactly how I feel!
ReplyDeleteLovely buys, Miss Coco - my faves are the pink and blue glass jars, I think, but loving the curtains and the Kewpie figure too. Hope the real Kewpies are being kind to the newbie!
PS. Parcel on its way, love! xxxxx
Curtise: (I think I am the Canadian version of you... and you are the UK version of me)*laugh* (Although I only plan to have 2 children. I had to make that known so when the time comes to make a baby.. I don't end up pregnant with triplets.)
DeleteIf you have a humidifier or vaporiser *seriously use it*
I was so suprised after only day one of having one on how much better I felt. (That sounded like an infomercial didn't it?) *lol*
I want to make a little place for my kewpies to live now. (I am such a child)
I will keep my eye out for my mailman. He just better hope I don't jump on his back when I see him. (The last thing I need is a sexual harassment suit with a mail carrier)
=D
Aye MaMa!!
ReplyDeleteYour leopard hat is similar to mine amor. I would of stuck that stuff ..I'm so shameless sometimes.I think I need a humidifier too been sick twice with flu already. not used too UK weather me thinks.

Besios
Oh my goodness! I loooove the pink powder jar! It'll look so pretty on Hazel!
ReplyDeleteOh my it's so true about those yucky inhalers!!! True story: when I was 9 my big sisters told me that tampons were nose plugs. TMI? I love it when you go garage saleing and I can't wait to visit your Etsy shop once it's up and running again:)) Hope you're feeling better now xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteI didn't even know that they still made those inhalers! When I was in high school, my best friend got addicted to using one of those. Actually addicted and her doctor verified that yes, people can get addicted to them. Her parents would actually search her room to make sure she didn't have one anymore and she'd sneak and use one in her car when she wasn't at home! I think that they should have just been proud that an inhaler was her strongest drug. Maybe she just liked open nasal passages. Is that so wrong? I ramble.
