Retail Thearpy:)

I had some much needed retail therapy at two of our thrift stores yesterday:) I love it when I find something I feel is really good for next to nothing:) Like these Cupcake plates! They were only $0.69 a piece:) I just couldn't pass them up. I tried... but I went back:) I just couldn't get over how girlie and fun they are!! They read ...baby cake... doll cake... sweet cake... and dream cake... so sweet! :)

Then I found these. The color spoke to me! I love the bright yellow... So cheerful! I bought 3... but Otis got to one.. and now I have 2. Luckily they were only $0.45 a piece:)

And what would a trip to the thrift store be without buying a tin? Who could pass this up? I love the image and the poems! (...and it only cost me a quarter!:)

My last 2 buys were a little more pricey at $0.98...lol...
But I am a sucker for a good illustration!

This one is from a book called In My Dreams I can Fly. (written by Eveline Hasler and illustrated by Kathi Bhend)... Beautiful book! And just look at that 'home'.... It's the grubs house- he lives underground in a root ball... It shows you each of their homes, and is super cute. And if you didn't notice- They're playing cards, LMAO!

The other book I bought is Alice in Wonderland (illustrated by Eric Kincaid). I collect certain books, and when they have great pictures in them... I pick them up. But this one had a picture of something I hadn't seen before... Do you know who's house this is?

It's the March Hare's. Do you see the bunny ears? The book says it thatched in fur:) OMG- I love it! Like I said I hadn't seen this idea before, so the book came home with me too.

And...
Of course now my head is rolling with ideas about all the houses I still want to build... lol... Oh my- I just got rid of my headache, hehe....
Hope this gives you some ideas, too:)

Until Next Time...

Retail Thearpy...

I know, I'm suppose to be working, but I couldn't help it....I had to go to the bank. And since I was already over in that direction.... I figured I'd pop in to the thrift store to see what I could find.... Don't worry, I only spent $2!! The tin on the right reminds me of a picture of my mother when she was little. She was probably 5, and she was hanging up her doll clothes on the line.... The paper mache' box with the squirrels was also too cute to pass up. Both were $.45!! Then in front is a pillow case! That was $1!! I love girlie pillows!! And I could not pass up those pink flowers!


Oh, and I forgot to add this one in earlier! I was trying to take a picture of the pandas last night.... and as you can see......Cleo is helping... too cute!

OK...ok

Back to work I go
Until Next Time...
