Garage sale buys Luggage & Vases & Pictures

Alarm goes off at 6:45 a.m. (Press snooze), alarm goes off again 5 min later... Spring outta bed. Make coffee * Put in contacts * Brush teeth * apply makeup. All is going smoothly until time comes to wake up my Mr.
I told him 3 times to wake up and he is just not getting outta bed. Finally Mr. gets out of bed.. and has a HORRIBLE HEADACHE. ("I swore in my head")
Mr. takes advil and lays on couch. I get a cold cloth and throw it at his face ("Okay I did not really I placed it gently on his forehead, like the loving wife I am.") The clock is ticking 30 min goes by... ("Oh dear the Mr. must have fallen asleep.") I then think ("Hmmm I suppose we will just stay home.") BUT just to be sure I ask him how he feels. He sits up and says: It's gone! ("Jeaz I never been this happy all week")
And off we go to buy other peoples treasures that they actually think is junk!! But little do they know I am dreaming of it late at night...

(On the subject of photo albums)

I haven't put a picture in one for years. And then a weeks back my Mom told me they were gonna see some extended family no one has seen in years and asked me for a recent pic of me and my guy. *uhhhh* Hrmm they are all on my computer.. and I was not about to hand that over. For months I have been saying I wanna start getting photos developed again and having some family albums for times when they could be useful. I love looking through our old family albums and I am sure others do too. So hopefully these albums I found will give me the kick in the pants I need to start going to the photo lab!


I have more to show but don't want to bog down your internet *wink* Will post the other stuff in the next day or so.


P.s. I found a lettuce green vintage nightie, I want to dance in a cabbage patch!

A month? OH DEAR!

Hello there all... It looks as though I have not made a blog post in a month and a day. *Is shocked* Well I guess I shall update you on my September.

September is my favorite month of the year. On the 16 we celebrated my Boxer Jersey's 8th Birthday.
Jersey is my best little fur bud, I got him when he was 3 months. I wanted a boxer OH SO BAD and dang I had waited a long time to be able to have one. So getting him was one of the happiest days of my life. I picked him up 2 hrs from where I live and he rode on my lap the whole way home. And I bet if he was still allowed he would try it still to this day. Jersey is always squishing me has to lay right next to me sometimes half on me.. He is my 60 pound lap dog.

On the 24 it was my Birthday.. I am now a year older and hopefully a little wiser but I am not too sure. *hehaha* On my b day what do you think I wanted to do?
THRIFT SHOP of course and it is exactly what I did. I found this vase, for a grand total of 75 cents

Here is two warm fuzzy knit hats I came across. I got them for next to nothing and I know I will get a ton of use outta them.

I also found two awsome handbags and a cute floral print hoodie (Not pictured) I had a Spaghetti dinner (Spaghetti is a top fave on my food list.) And dairy Queen ice cream cake to celebrate. Celebrate my Birthday not my purchases. *wink* (I also have a love for frogs if you were wondering about the cake.)
The leaves are changing here some tree's are still greener than green. And some are a gorgeous bright shade of yellow. I really enjoyed my September and I hope you did also. I hope this Fallish weather continues for a long while I am surely not ready for snow just yet.
