The BIG baby

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.

Thrift Shop Buys
Baby Kewpie figurine $1

I woun't be afraid to admit I had fun making the top silly pic out of this photo.

Still in plastic vintage doll $1

Mug I purchased for myself $0.30 cents


Pink powder jar $4.50



This will be my third jewelry box like this.

I store them all in Hazel my vanity table. They are perfect for organization.

$3.50



I was thrilled to find this lamp at Salvation army for $2.00

Sure beats the look-alikes they are making nowadays in vintage style that sell for over $100


Confetti earrings $0.50 cents



*AAAAAHHHHH* Metal recipe box complete with a SEXY Lobster *pinch*




These bottom two items I purchased a few weeks or more back and I am pretty sure I forgot to show them in the blog.


Never been used Simpsons Sears curtains.

$4.00 (I think)


I love the instructions and photo.



Blue dish $5.00

(I have a thing for the pokey stuff!)


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.

My weekend campout in the backyard was pretty good except for the fact it started raining lastnight. Did you know rain on a tent sounds like static on a record? Jersey was very excited when he saw the tent going back up. If the weather is good we will do it again next weekend and I will take some pics of the setup. Hope you all enjoyed your weekend.
