Grape cluster GO GO Rosie

 I can do it! That's what I keep telling myself anyhow. It's been a couple weeks since my last post. I would have posted sooner but life is a lil hectic at the moment. Mr. Coco and I have recently acquired MORE work and were told it would be a smart idea to start our own business since we are pretty much doing that anyways. So why not make it official right? Starting on Sunday I will be working everyday until sometime in March. *eeaaak* When one of our jobs will be going back to one day a week instead of two. Which will then give me Mondays off. 

("Don't worry the max hours I will be working a day is about 4 so it's surely do-able")

3 days a week I have been getting up at 4 a.m. to be at work at 5. THANK HEAVENS that will soon be over and all my shifts will be in the evening. 

I will finally be able to do Frock on Fridays again.

*woohoo I am looking forward to it*

Found this tea towel & the earrings above at a thrift shop. Even though I haven't been posting it doesn't mean I haven't been shopping. *lol*

 Bought this kitten for my Grandma O *shhh* don't tell her I haven't given it to her just yet.

 KEWPIES!

One of my weaknesses!

 Frosted glass owl I picked up from Salvation Army

 Family of Elephants

(If you couldn't tell...)

 I am crazy about this bag to keep jewelry or hair stuff

Lots of pockets!

Cross stitch gingham tablecloth

My second pair of Chinese shoes. I found some last year and was just recently thinking I would like a pair with some color. (My others are black) I had even looked online and seen some real cute ones. Thank goodness I didn't buy them because I found these at Salvation army for $3 BRAND NEW!!

Kokeshi doll makeup bag and change purse

My best bargain... was this set of melamine dishes a 16 piece set for $1  

I was screaming so loud on the inside I am surprised people couldn't hear my screetches coming out my ear holes!

I will be be back with another post soon, have a very happy weekend!

Nifty stuff I picked up this week (LOTS-O-PICS)

Yes I am behind on posting. *heh* The stuff pictured is my Saturday garage sale finds and a few finds from thrift shops from this week. I figured better hurry and catch up because Friday is just 1 hour away for me. *Whoops*

$3.99
In fabulous condition from the late 50s
Below are two pics from the inside. AND then the best part. Inside the book was 2 receipts from 1958 they were from a dry goods store. They are in perfect condition and I think they are awsome. I just don't know if I should keep them in the book or frame them. I am worried if I frame them. They will end up fading. (Any suggestions?)

Ooohh LAA LAAA

I could sit there and read a book on that sofa.

Here is the first

And the second which is from 6 days later.

I bet you she was hiding these from her Hubby. Hence being inside a sewing book. I mean really I doubt he would have found them. *heheh*

(NOW BELOW)

Is my weirdest purchase from Saturday.

I paid .75 cents for this GIANT

GARLIC!

A nice old couple was having a sale. Most items were for woman and the Husband looked sort of bored. But he had his own table of veggies from his garden. He was SO PROUD of his vegetables, I could not even explain if I tried. He had every right to be too. He asked if I had seen anything like his stuff with a big grin on his face. I told him I don't think so. And grabbed a glove of garlic and said "I will take this one" I could tell he was tickled with the purchase.

And it made his day that people were buying his home grown food.

Now below are 3 items I purchased that are not vintage. But I had to have em!

Fringe ROXY handbag

(Looks as though it was used for a week and then tossed aside)

$5

Some of you will hate whats below others may not. But heck I live in Canada and you can bet your little butt I am not going to have cold toes all Fall and Winter.

What we are talking about here is UGGS. Some hate them some love them. I have always thought they were kinda cute but would NEVER shell out the $200.00 or more that they cost. I would look em up on E-bay every now and then and the bids would just go higher and higher. So I pretty much gave up.

Well I am happy to say I finally will for sure have warm feet this fall. I found my Uggs at a garage sale and paid $3 for them!

WHAAAAAAAAAAAT?!?!?!

Seriously

YES SERIOUSLY

So hooray for being a CHEAP Azz!

The boots have only been worn a few times. I am going to buy some Suede cleaner and then waterproof spray and after that I can be happy and Slobby looking. MAUAHAHAHAHHA

Flamingo candy dish

.50 cents

I screamed when I saw this in the thrift shop & my Man was embarrassed and said *Shhh* "HEH sorry hunny" I got lost in excitement.

My God I have a feeling this was a crazy long post. I will be seeing you all in a few hours for FOF!

To my new followers: Welcome, I hope this long post does not scare you away. *laugh*
