It's Thursday, but it feels like Friday to me...

Last week at work I put in mega hours trying to get ready for our fall kick-off and throwing a going away party for our Youth Pastor (my former boss). So this week, I had to take 2 extra days off to make up for it. Today was one of those days. It feels so much like a Friday since Auntie and I met up and checked out a few sales-we never get to do that on a Thursday!!

The pickings were very, very slim this week as far as sales go...last week there were 185 sales in our local paper. This week there were only 56 sales! I hope it is just because it is Labor Day weekend, and not that the sales are drying up for the winter (gasp!). I am dreading the day when I scan the garage sale or estate sale section in the newspaper and there isn't a single one listed! I have been having soo much fun this summer going to sales. I've even gotten quite an efficient system all worked out!

This is what I found today...

My last small blue Pyrex mixing bowl-to complete my last ever set! I ended up with 3 sets because I kept finding the bowl super cheap and just couldn't walk away from them!

A WAY cool purple bottle and it's a big one too!

An even BIGGER blue bottle-these are going to look wayyy cool in my flower bed!

Look what I picked today! #2 on the plant with 2 more to come!


How were the sales in your area? Tomorrow I am going to a funeral, so no sales for me. If you have a minute, please send up a prayer for my friend Laura and her family, her father had a massive heart attack on Monday while playing softball and didn't survive. They are all so devastated...Laura's little girls were there when it happened...so sad!

I'm hoping to hit a new to me flea market on Saturday, Sunday will be spent getting ready for our "End of the Summer Potluck & Volleyball Party" on Monday-c'mon over if you're in the area!

  2. Hi Jerry!
    I'm pretty sure I still have it, and I'd be willing to sell it if I do. I'll have to check and get back to you.

    Thanks for stopping by!

  7. Hi Jerry!
    I sent you a bunch of pictures to the email address you sent me. I hope you got them. Let me know if you didn't, and I'll resend them. I'm working on a button for my blog for "Email Me", but so far they haven't worked out!
