Portable blue Brother Deluxe Typewriter $3
"I lucked out on this one." I was going to a Church thrift store after I had finished my garage sales. Outside of the church was a pile of donations that had just been dropped off. I noticed the little blue case and un-zipped it to see what was inside. Once I seen the typewriter I carried it into the church to ask one of the ladies in charge how much they wanted for it. I also told her there was boxes of donations sitting outside. (The 3 woman working there are elderly and are all very sweet.) The thrift store in the building is up a few flights of stairs. The woman told me they would like $5 for the typewriter. I told her I would think about it and continued to look around. When one of the ladies saw all the donations she asked Mr. Coco if he could help bring them up. He did and when I went to pay for the stuff I had found they told me they would only charge me $3 for the Brother Deluxe because of Mr. Coco's help.

~Best find of the weekend~
Light up magnification makeup mirror!
I have wanted one of these for close to a year. But they are pricey and I didn't want to splurge on a round piece of glass that lights up and enlarges my pores. I had it on my Christmas list but then Cancelled it out because I wanted Dior Cherie perfume more.
Sometimes it pays to wait..... I paid $2 for this mirror at a Seniors home sale and now it will sit on my vanity table Hazel and help me with my makeup and my eyebrow plucking.

I found these brand new ruffled bottoms at Salvation army for $2 a pair.
(Original price of $6.50 each)

Linking up with Lakota's ta-dah! tuesday

 I had such a fun weekend. My saturday was full of garage sales and Sunday there was a community garage sale listed for a little country town about a 30 minute drive away.
Mr. and I went saling and found a few things and then went to a lake side park.
The water is high here because of spring run-off and we just ended a flood watch.


I wanted to ride the frog... but I could not get to him safely.

Mr. & I
*Weeee*
I rode this exact duck when I was about 9 or 10
I am glad they still have the old playground equipment and have not replaced it with the plastic junk.

Cute or Demented??? TELL ME!

Hope everyone is having a good week so far!

Thrift store finds GLUG GLUG GLUG

Yesterday I went out to some thrift shops with my Mom. I found these two leather purses. One was marked $1.50 the other $2. When I went to the till to pay the lady said your total is $2 and I said.... Are you sure?? And she said "Yes we are having a sale" *EAAAP* I was thrilled.





Both of these bags are a name brand called MASTERCRAFT which I find hilarious as ever since I remember Mastercraft is a brand name for a popular tool brand.



So I am pretty sure that means I should feel super tough carrying one of these vintage Mastercraft bags!



*DsSSSssrrrrRrrRrRRr*


Recycled plastic bags woven into a funky shopper bag

$1


Square embroidered table cloth $1


This book was on a shelf along with alot of others... but it caught my eye. What about it would catch my eye?? Why the little crab on the top of the spine. The BOOKS PRETTY AWESOME TOO! I have read it 4 times already. "Once to my Mom while she was driving, once to my Dad while he was trying to watch television & once to my Brother while he was eating, once just to myself because I find it so enjoyable. I have yet to read it to Mr. Coco but I will soon. Oh and that boat on the string...

(IT SQUEAKS)
$0.25 cents


Found Pattington in the bottom of a stuffed toy bin. Just reading his tag made me sad. So of course I took him out of that stuffed toy prison. He was $1 He is missing his hat. Until I find one .... I might just sew him up a new one with some yellow felt.

When I brought him up to the till... The cashier said the note made her so sad she was about to cry. *lol*


My Fof is going to be posted late... sometime this weekend. I didn't have time to Frock up today.

Carpet Bag $2


After always admiring everyone elses carpet bags FINALLY I am able to join the club!! *woot woot* And it even has green on it... which means it was meant to be! I grabbed this thing of a hanger at a garage sale as soon as my eyes gazed upon it. Still needing to look through boxes asked my man to hold it. "AND NOT TO PUT IT DOWN ANYWHERE" He is such a good man he held my carpet bag for a good 1o min at least. *hehe*




Lucite Stretch Bracelet $2 found at Salvation Army one of my favorite thrifts I frequent.

This is the little Entrance way to my bedroom which is the door on the left.

The hanging half mannequin was purchased on the weekend for $4 I named her Chrysanthemum (Which I still have to google to be able to spell properly mind you) *lol* She is showing off a rather lovely one piece vintage swim suit. That is too big for me but so darn cute I love to look at it! A couple of my furry hats hang on the hooks and a coconut purse (How fitting).


We are just a couple days from the weekend.. which means I better get on organizing my garage sale list!! *wink*

Bye for now
