CAUSE I AM BORED....

.... but I totally want to post something. I am just now getting back into the garage sale swing of things. I went *shopping* when I was there with babygator and that helped get me back into the mood. Last Saturday I was up early so I headed out in search of treasures. The pickins were not terribly wonderful but they were not bad either. I purchased the following:

1) 1 Brighten tin 10 Cents...you all know I love any sort of containers!!

2) 2 brand new spatulas for 10 cents apiece

3) Iron on letters for 25 cents. I am thinking about making me a sports shirt to wear to all of Bebo's sporting events next year. I will write BEBO'S MOM across the front. Won't that just PLEASE him?!?!? *snorts*
4) 2 paisley queen sized pillow cases for 25 cents for the pair. I just love that print. Not sure what I am going to do with that yet.

5) 4 baby receiving blankets for $1. Took them to work for the new baby.

6) 3 hardback children's book for 25 cents a piece that are in perfect condition. Those went to Ester for reading time for her and her grand babies.

7) A Mickey Mouse frame for Rose for 50 cents. Her niece collects all things Mickey Mouse. I will make her buy me a coke or something for that.

8) 2 sets of embroidery transfer for my mom for 20 cents .

9) a sunflower head band for 50 cents. It is all glittery and I felt the NNNNEEEEDDDD to buy it.

10) a cool little bottle for 10 cents. Loving its shape.

11) 1 Goose Berry Patch cookbook for 50 cents. It has never even been opened! My mom loves Gooseberry and that will be one of her birthday gifts. This book is normally around $14.

12) 1 Susan Branch book for 75 cents. It has also never been opened and will be my mom's gift. This book is currently on the website for $23.95!!!!! Just so y'all do not think I am being totally cheap about my mom's birthday, she asked that we NOT give her gifts. Instead she requested that we make donations to the foodbank where she lives. I really like that but think that everyone should have a gift to unwrap.

Well....I guess I am cheap but...that is how I roll! I am trying hard to be thriftier this year and my family totally understands.

This was my BESTEST find! A coffee/tea press! The girl told me that she had used it once or twice and I got it for $1!! I have wanted one and the cheapest I could find was around $20.

I have already used it more than it's first owner did!

Last but not least...see these 3 little old jars? I got them for 25 cents a piece. I was really happy with this find!!! Why? sssshhhhh....it is a SECRET!

I promise you are going to see them again real soon!

And yes I totally understand...this is an incredibly boring post. You just need to bear with me for a bit. I am going to totally make over some of the cheap things that I find and you will be clamoring for more!!

THEN Martha is going to be calling me and begging me to be on her show.

After some persuasion...I will happily go on. If she gives me lots of her glitter.

Her glitter ROCKS!

Who wants to be the president of my crafty fan club?!?!?!
