Thrift Monday Store Musings

Hellllloooo Friends!  I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend! Welcome to my "Thrift Store Saturday/Monday Musings"  mash-up! (On a Tuesday...confused yet? ☺)

 

So this is what I have been doing instead of blogging: 

hanging out with these two sweethearts!

 

 

My two middle nieces, Miss K & Miss T came to visit for a few days! Oh I love these girls! (and their sisters; Miss A, who didn't come because she was busy celebrating her upcoming birthday, and Miss G because she is still too little to leave Mommy for very long.)

 

 

Saturday morning my Mom got to sneak away for a bit (Thanks Dad!) and we met for our weekly coffee/thrifting date.

 

(Worth every point...yummmm!)

I got this awesome little rolling cart...I'm thinking about putting it in the pantry, but really it could go so many places...between the washing machine & dryer, in the bathroom, in the craft room...For $5 I couldn't pass it up.

 

A Swiffer for $1. 

 

This lantern that I have big plans for, $2.

 

 

And a dress that I was going to show you but the picture makes it look ugly. It's not. Maybe you will see me wearing it someday and I will tell you about my $2 dress ☺

I love thrifting.  I think I say that every week.  True Story.

 

On Sunday after church we met my sister at the zoo so she could pick up the girls. It was an awesome, fun afternoon. The weather was fantastic!!

 

We even got to see the new baby elephant!

We said good-bye to my sister and her girls and then topped off our lovely afternoon/weekend with a stop at Trader Joe's.  (When you live 2 hours from a Trader Joe's you always make time to stop when you are there!)  I wish they would bring one a little closer to me...fingers crossed ☺

I am linking my Thrift Monday Store Musings on a Tuesday (haha that's a mouthful) up with Sara (It's Good To Be Queen) again at her Thrifted Thursday Linky Party

 

Thanks Friends! Come Back Soon!☺

Monday Musings

Happy Monday Friends! I hope everyone had a great weekend!

 

I had a nice weekend.  It was really the first weekend in the last two weeks that I have felt pretty good.  I thrifted with my Mom on Saturday (you can check out Thrift Store Saturday HERE.)  

 

That afternoon we went to the cheap movie theatre in our town (Which used to be the good movie theatre when I was a kid) and saw the movie 42 about Jackie Robinson and how he broke the color barrier in Major League Baseball.  It was a great movie. I was moved, I cried, I was inspired. I love movies like that.

 

 

Since I was feeling so good Saturday I may have overdone it a bit and I missed church Sunday morning :(  I just spent the day relaxing.  We had a massive storm, so it was nice to just stay inside, relax and enjoy the rain.

 

(Sorry, I evidently do not know how to take rain pictures...note to self, work on that!)

 

Since I 've had quite a bit of time lately to "relax"  I decided to watch the first and second season of Once Upon A Time. I actually only meant to watch the first season, but after that I was hooked. Now I have to wait until the fall of 2013 for it to come back.  Boo. :(

I didn't realize that I was sad I was about the demise of Twinkies until I was so excited to hear that they will be returning! Did you hear that too?  I will be keeping my eyes peeled for their comeback!  Bad news for my weight loss, but it it does make me happy!  (If really for no other reason but to make these!)

 

Minions from Piles of Projects Blog (Adorable!)

 

All and all it was a nice weekend.  I have worked on, completed and started several crafts.  (I don't know about you but I always have a few crafts in progress and a few ideas in my head.)  I will be back to share at least one of those crafts (which ever gets finished first; eeny, meeny, miny, moe) Lol on Thursday.

 

 

See you soon friends! ☺
