Thrifting Finds in Silver...

I have a new Love Bunny Tassel above that I had fun making tonight. It replaces my previous one that SOLD on My Etsy. Thank you....

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Last week when I found those Botanical dishes I also found some other things. It kind of makes me chuckle because of something that Sally said to me last summer when I discovered thrifting.

At that time I was slipping in and out of thrift shops and joyfully finding all kinds of great "treasures". What made me chuckle was that I, like all of us reveal how much we paid for our finds expressing how much we saved by these thrift purchases.

Sally commented something like with all this money I've saved I'll have enough to take a trip to Europe soon *lol*. I remember reading that....probably frowning a minute taking it in...and then "bursting" out into a big smile.

Remember I told you that it was 50% off at the Thrift store on Friday? Each of these items were reduced to $2.00. So I am sure I'll be on my way to Europe soon.. wo hoot!!

This tarnished candle and flower holder came out like the one below with a little elbow grease and a little help from "Twinkle". I treated myself to a bouquet of yellow cut mums. It was such a beautiful springy day and everyone seemed to be mentioning that in their blog. So it was all around.

I found the silver candleholders as well. They don't seem to be the tarnishing kind so thats a bonus. I have 2 different coloured candles here because they were on 2 different spots until I decided to bring them together for the picture.

The last item I bought was a lacey tablecloth. Another $2.00 buy. Yayyyy.

I should probably have named Abby the "Streak" because of the white streak she wears down her back at times. Its not there all the time...it depends on how she feels I think. Other times I feel like calling her "Ollie" because she's like an owl.

Have a lovely day..... Judi xoxo

Got It and Vacation Days!!

Now I know what it is!

Thank you for all your ideas yesterday as I tried to figure out what I owned. Some agreed with my idea that it would be good for a butter dish. Tootsie said it was a butter dish and like one she has and has forgotten about. So I checked Ebay and look what I found..... This one on Ebay is much like mine.

I am on vacation today to the rest of theweek. Its study week at school so a quiet time at work.

I really wished I could go someplace but it isn't a good time for Marc to go. I thought of flying to Florida to visit my mom while she vacations there and maybe could meet up with Julie...hmmmm...or fly to British Columbia to see my brother. My best friend who lives an hour from me has gone to St. Martins with her hubby....and my SIL just came back from a 1 month driving trip to Mexico and back and she's already flown to Florida.... so I can't even visit them. They didn't even take me!

I treated myself to some fabulous magazines... YES!! I did it it "relentlessly" because its a lot less than a plane ticket and a nice treat...

I'll take some time over tea to be inspired with all the eye candy...yum!!

I could be inspired to paint my livingroom...sew something fun...bake or...treat myself to a manicure or having my eyebrows waxed...go to the leisure centre...hmmm....so many fun things to do when I keep myself company...maybe try to learn a new craft...Penny?

I may sew new drapes for my livingroom because some fabric I wanted to purchase a month ago has become available to me after all. I will be spending time with Madeline and Geoff on Thursday...hmmmm...look how the vacation is filling up and I didn't even have a plan... *s*.. Thats what usually happens. I get so busy doing things I wonder where the time went. But as long as it was fun right?

Whatever you may or may not have planned for today...

I hope its a lovely day... Judi xoxo
