Weekend Garage Sale Finds

I hit the garage/rummage sale circuit this weekend and found myself
some treasures. Now the original intention was to look for things for our
booth. It didn't QUITE work out that way. I bought all the goodies for
myself! In my defense, these are actually the first purchases I have made
for myself since we started the business, this is NOT the case for my Auntie
and my Mom! So I have to catch up right!

A silver candleholder lamp. Price tag $1.

Silver creamer and sugar set for $2. Picture frame, which will be given
the whitewash treatment real soon, 50 cents.

Vintage can, $1. I am addicted to these lately. This will probably make it's
way to the booth in the Fall. For now I'll use it for storage.

Tablecloth from the Goodwill. Oh yeah, I made a stop there too! Did any
of you get your 20% off Goodwill coupon in the mail? Or is it just a local
thing? After the discount it was only $3.50 and is in excellent condition. I
also bought a piece of furniture for the booth which I'll share in a later post.

Also not pictured, a boom boom (super soaker) the Man Cub picked out.
I am sure you will get the pleasure of seeing that particular apparatus
sometime this Summer. When it warms up enough to use it. So far it's
only made an appearance in the bathtub. But trust me when I tell you
it's real pretty, LOL!!!

My FAVORITE find. A really really old dish. What was it used for ladies?
Gravy, soup, casserole? I have no idea, but don't care, I LOVE it. I
splurged and spent $5. Did I overpay? The mark on the bottom is
Johnson Bros. England. I guess if you really love something
it's worth what you will spend.

Beautiful cracks.

Stunning age spots.

I sound like I'm describing an old lady!

Total expenditure $12.

Next post I'll show you what I actually DID get for the
booth. I didn't totally abandon it!

Pink Saturday

Happy June everyone! It's time to get our pink on. Are you all rested
up from our Pink Saturday revelries last week?! If so would you be
interested in joining me for another party?

My Birthday is coming up soon and to celebrate I am throwing my
second annual online Costume Party! I would very much love
to have any and all of you join me. Last year was an enormous
amount of fun. The sky is the limit for costumes when budget isn't
an issue!

Click the banner above to read all the details!



A great BIG thank you, as always to the most wonderful pink hostess
in the world, Beverly, from How Sweet The Sound.
Please be sure to visit her to find lots and lots of pink links.

Have a glorious weekend my loveleighs, I hope you have
sunshine headed your way!

Get Ready, You're Invited!!!

My Dearest Loveleighs...

YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED!!!

It's that time of year. The time when my date of birth
rapidly approaches. Last year I threw myself the most wonderful of
parties. A fabulous online Costume Party that many of you attended.
I had so much fun I decided to do it again!

Anyone interested? If not, I'll just have to party by myself. But
seriously, I would much prefer to have you all join me,
you help make the day extraordinary!


Everyone is invited to chose a special Costume to for the Party.
Search far and wide on the net and find something fabulous to wear.
The same dress code applies as last year.

It can be any of the following...

A costume from a favorite movie

A famous historical figure

A costume from a particular era in history

A beautiful dress you find online or even one you own
and would like to share.

Choose something you could only
DREAM of wearing, something so fancy, you wouldn't know
yourself dressed up in it. Feel free to dress up your blog and
change her "outfit" too!

On the day of the party, Wednesday June 17th, post a picture(s) of
your costume and tell us a bit about where it's from and why you
chose that particular costume or if it holds any significant meaning
to you. I'll have a Linky up so you can all add your link and visit the
other party participants.

The party starts at 12:00 am on Wednesday, June 17th although I
will probably have my post up around 7:00 if you want to post earlier.
The Party will run for two days and end at midnight on the 19th so
any late arrivals may join in.

There will also be a surprise giveaway for one party guest. I can't
tell you what it is because it ties in with my costume choice. No hints.
I don't want anyone showing up in the same thing as me! If you would
like to take the party banner and post it on your sidebar to help spread the
word, that would be great! If you let me know you've done so, I'll give
you an extra shot at the giveaway.

So get yourselves ready in a timely fashion my loveleighs!
I can't wait to see you all dressed up in your finery!
