Caught in my pool! Frock on Friday

Ohhhh it looks like a big one!!
 Caught right out of my swimming pool!
 *Taking a closer look*
 Dress was found a couple weeks back and was part of a fill a bag for $5.00 I imagine with all the other stuff I bought I paid around $0.75 cents for it. The shoes came from a different fill a bag for $3.00 They probably cost me $1 because I didn't find that much that day.
I am wearing a string of pearls in my hair.
You most likely already seen my handmade shell necklace. But see the red small one?? I got it at a garage sale for $2.00 I don't know if it's real coral or fake coral... but I really like it either way.
 The bottom is my favorite. I am rather tempted to buy a set of wings and run around town!!!
Jersey is jealous of my CATCH O' THE DAY!
 He better be careful or I will scoop him up in the net too!

MY MOST AMAZING FIND

Crazy Checks & My Precious

Happy Frock on Friday!
The dress was found at my usual $5 bag sale. Meaning it cost me about 75 cents. I got others at the same time... but sadly it looks as though most of them are too big for me.
"Touch my shopping bag and I will beat your @$$!!" (Not really but that was my caption for this photo when I seen my face. )*lol* I am IN LOVE with this shopper bag I found. First off it was sitting outside in a FREE BOX... BUT WAIT... as we are pulling up to the shop and I spot it. Store employees are walking outside towards their free stuff. One of them grabs the bag *WHAT??!*
She carries it in the store and I over hear her say she thought someone donated it and threw it there. But then another employee said no "We got it yesterday and so on so put it out their because they didn't think it was worth much" I know if I don't speak up soon this damned bag will get a pricey sticker. So I blurt out from the isle "How much do you want for that bag?" Then they look puzzled. "Ohhh gosh I am thinking" One says "Two fifty?! looks at the other one (Do you think that's okay) "Uhmm yea okay says the other lady".) So I tell them I will think about it and then after that I hear "If she doesn't buy it we can get more for it." *Sigh* So I just say "I will take it can you hold it for me until I am done shopping."

Sadly the original owner of my fave thrift store left in the middle of Feb. These people who run it now are all new. (Most of the old staff left the same time as the old owner) I see some higher pricing going on and changes every time I visit.
As they say.... "Nothing lasts forever"
I really have to start getting some stuff done outside soon. The yard looks like absolute trash and I am limited to where I can take pics right now. No one wants to look at dead plants from last summer. Am I right??!! *haha*
My Mother who was with me when I purchased it ... *Hates it* And thinks I should sell it. My Dad says: "It's LOUD & different" (But it did make him smile so that has to count as something.) I think.....
And now you see how hair lazy I was. Clip here, clip there, clip left, clip right.
Wearing my green Bagel shoes Mr. bought me in the fall. They were perfect because this dress is TOO LONG. I am going to hem it so I don't wreck it. I swear the original owner must have been close to 6 feet. It puddles on the floor on my 5'4" body.
P.s. I bought my first pair of original 60's Cateye frames a couple days ago.
I am going to get them filled with my prescription *HOPEFULLY*
I am going to have to look for a place that doesn't mind working with vintage frames.
*MEEEEEOW*
I am excited!

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.
