I create OBJECT families!


Nothing better than a bike ride at sunset and a buddy to keep you company. *Haha*
See in my basket? That is a 1960's pooh bear. I took him for a ride on my bike the day I found him at a thrift store for 50 cents. He has a wind up on his back and when wound plays music. What does he play?? Why the Winnie the Pooh theme song of course!!
I did have a couple of weird looks riding with this bear. But I bet it's the best time he's had in about 40 or so years!
 Found this jug in a box of VERY dirty dingy grimy things. But I knew it was old... I was almost scared to touch it! *lol* But I grabbed the handle and when I did the seller said "I am sorry those are a bit dirty, you can have the jug for 50 cents" A big SOLD sign went off in my head. Some soap and hot water later the jug is next to new!
Bunt cake pan. I really needed a new one my current is on it's last legs.
$1.50
 Aeropostale perfume $1
*Haha* Here's cute little pooh saying Hello to Vintage Vixen!!
She's scared of sweet little softies. *hehe*
Post it note purse 50 cents

MOD purse $2.00 from the Salvation Army

Okay so what's with my blog title??? Well I seem to like creating families of things. If I have one at home and see another similar... I think I will purchase the one I found because the one at home needs a friend.  "IT'S VERY SILLY"
I suppose it's collections... but how many collections does one human need?
I can't pass these up, I am intrigued by them.
$0.75
 My Lucky Cat family
These two were found on a garage sale table, I knew instantly they needed to come home with me... as I had a lonely owl sitting on the back of my toilet. He needed friends....
*Ahhhh Happiness* They were 25 cents each. There's the turtle I told you about in last post.
And now you know what the back of my Loo looks like!
 Instant family (All purchased from the same garage sale) These guys are destined for Etsy.
I just cannot have a family of salt and peppy's in my home. That would be going to far!!!

$1 gingham dress gets a outing to the movies


On the way to the movies


 I haven't went to a movie in over 7 years. The last movie I "Remember" seeing in a Theatre was Shrek 2, so that has got to tell you something...

The pretty rainbow we seen on the way... to go see


(I have never talked about a movie on my blog before... but I do right now so if your not interested in this part SKIP Thru this giant block of letters below.)

 I really wanted to see this movie and when I found out it was playing at the "Old Theatre" in town for only $3 I thought it would be a perfect time to watch it. I like "Scary movies" My Mr. does not... thankfully he came with because he said: "for better or for worse in our wedding vows" *lol*
I wanted to see this movie because over the years I have read alot about the nuclear disaster that happened in Pripyat Ukraine in 1986. Whenever I decide to look through photos and read stories I always feel sad. I hate seeing ghost towns & abandoned buildings as is. But throw in a horrible disaster as the cause for a abandoned town and it's even sadder to think about.
I suppose I wanted to start reading about it because my Grandpa was Ukrainian... I really don't know why it interested me so much. Disasters are not something I spend my time reading up on... Only Pripyat and it's story peaked my interest.
The movie really didn't have anything to do with "Actual Pripyat and what happened" Which I knew... I knew it was a horror movie based on the location of Chernobyl. The movie really wasn't that scary...  I was expecting a real *creep factor* but naww.... I didn't even have to grab Mr.s hand!!!
After seeing the movie I prefer to look through actual photos and read more written on it. Because the actual true to life stories on it.... are more intense than the movie ever could be.

I could never imagine what it would be like to have to flee from your homes in a moments notice and never be allowed to return. To see what those people saw, and go through all they had to go through.
The real story of Chernobyl is more 100 times more terrifying than this movie was.

 I wore my 60s yellow & white gingham Ruby Lou dress I paid $1 for a couple weeks back. We were running late as I wanted to get some snacks from the dollar store. I decided to slip on my black Justin cowboy boots and head out the door.

I took this while waiting for the movie to start..
This is our oldest Theatre in town. We have a Huge big "newer" fancy cineplex odeon on the other side of town. But this one does the job and I don't mind it one bit. 
It brought back some memories when the Mr. and I were dating we brought his Brother and Sister to this theatre to watch 101 Dalmatians in 1996

I was 15 and head over heels in love!


The Mr. INSISTED on having Theatre popcorn!
The bill for these two items below
just under $14
OMG!!
I could have had 12 dresses and the tax to pay for those dresses with that purchase! *lol*

I do have to admit the popcorn was good though...
We snuck in:
And I am glad we did because... Had I bought them at the concession I am sure they would have been $4 a box!


 A lovely action shot
(I bet you didn't know my crustacean love ran so deep did you?)
I laughed when I saw this pic.

 Oddly enough these pics were the best ones of me that had been taken last night. I was trying to get gum out of my purse whilst walking back to the vehicle!

Linking up with Lakotas ta-dah tuesday
P.S. I know it's now Wednesday.... But I got all dressed up in my $1 frock to participate... But by the time we got back from the show it was too late to do a blog post.
(Please don't punish me!!!)
*lol*
