What a cute birdfeeder,it looks great. Sweet little chair,too! I bought a little tiny white wicker set a while back that matches my front porch,that now belongs to the fairies. And today I made 2 teacup birdfeeders with spindle bottoms,so we're on the same wave-length here!

What a wonderful shopping day for you. That Arthur Court tray was a screaming deal. I only see the expensive ones while out shopping. The scarves are such a great color and will be lovely with your dishes. I love the deer and know you have the perfect decor to go with them. At Home America has nice things so I'm sure they are heavy. I have some pencil figurines and enjoy using them too. The baking dish looks brand new. You can bake me something and send. Just Kidding! I've been trying to cut down on my sweets but I Love Them more than other food. Sweet little pinecones. Are they metal? That's an interesting little tree you found. Bet it won't be long and you'll know exactly how to fit it into some of your decor. Luvs, I'm so sorry you didn't get to go shopping w/friends. I believe everything happens for a reason. We'll just have to believe you'll hit the jackpot when you GO!!! Punk

Isn't it though, I would really have liked for it to be pink but this one will go with some black I plan to do something with one of these day! Everyone keeps doing these great mirrors and now I have to add that to the growing list. I saw this one today that I sure did like. Here is a link that might be useful: Free form mirror

I thought I was going to get rained out this week but the rain stopped early. The first stop I only picked up two stuffed animals. Nick has a fit if I don't bring him something like that and for under $1 each, I oblige him. I admit I do it to keep him interested in yard sales! Second stop was a jackpot of sorts. For $5 (she said she'd take $4 but since I had a 5 dollar bill, I gave her $5 since she discounted everything that was cheap to begin with), I got a bag of 5 bigger beanie babies, Halloween and Christmas themed. I find with small children, those are fun and safe to bring out around the holidays instead of traditional (breakable) decorations. I got a Phillies Jack in the Box. Dan loves Jack in the boxes but they can be so expensive. I also got an ornament, and a T-shirt to work out in - it says Miss Teen America Pageant LOL. Oh, I got a dance workout DVD too - I laughed since it was marked 'used only once'. There was a Christmas promotional CD in with that too. Remember ALL of it was $5. I was going to quit but I brought Dan out for another run and I scored big - that dream item you specifically want but don't think you'll ever find. It was a Sesame Street tool bench with some extra tools for $3. Some of the Sesame Street tools are missing but Dan doesn't know. It still talks and he loves it. They have one at the daycare where Nick goes to before and after school and I used to have to tear Dan out of there kicking and screaming because of that tool bench. He played with it as I carried it to the car and had a screaming fit when I put it in the trunk. Last stop I got two Sesame Street DVDs ($1 each) and a clay/ceramic loaf pan (25 cents). Got a couple of books at Goodwill too.
