As HORRIBLY selfish as this sounds, I had a WONDERFUL 'It's all about ME week'! (Bestowed upon me, since my birthday and Thanksgiving fell on the same day this year).It started last Friday, and like the Energizer Bunny, it has kept going and going and going... 
The 'kick-off' was an AMAZING Birthday Boxful from Shara, who spoiled me rotten with ALL of my favorites, including a tacky chalkware fish for my collection, orange/purple & lime green deco's for my Xmas tree, the Seriously Retro dress (one of her finds that I had been lusting after!!), etc., etc, ... even a piece of Haeger!! Did I mention the 'calorie free' slice of cake she 'baked up' for me (first photo)!!
Sunday was off 'to market'...

Did I mention the 'calorie free' slice of cake she 'baked up' for me (first photo)!! Sunday was off 'to market'...where the 'goodies' continued to abound!
My first 'grab' was this sad cat planter off the 'infamous quarter table'... Pathetic as it originally appeared, I knew what lye beneath...
YES! a charming piece of ROYAL HAEGER!! (MUCH better without the 'paint job' - don't you think?!!) 
Other goodies included an aging Senorita (aren't we all?!), a Shawnee vase, a lipstick stand and a pair of JAPAN Toucans. 
Wednesday at work I rec'd a gift of THREE hatpins for yet another of my collections! How many people can say that their boss has done that for them??.

Eh gads, that cat planter was fugly. How on earth did you clean it up? Good save on it. Seems I rescued a painted planter once, but I don't remember which one....
Glad you had a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! ;o)

Happy birthday! I couldn't imagine what you were thinking with that cat planter - you're a genius! I'm going to go e-mail Shara right now so she knows when my birthday is.
A belated happy birthday to you! My daughter is a November baby and her birthday sometimes falls on Thanksgiving. Hope you had an awesome week.
