...the Dr's office called...

Came home last night and there was a message on our answering machine from one of my Doctor's office's...
"This message is for S~.  This is M___ L___'s office calling.  S~, if you would stop by the office at your convenience, I have a VERA tablecloth & matching 6piece napkin set;

VERA 2012 #14 (does a set of 7 count as '1' or '7'??)

and a VERA scarf that I picked up for you.  If you have any questions, I can be reached at ###-####.  Looking forward to hearing from you."

VERA 2012 #15

 GOTTA LOVE A RECEPTIONIST WHO NOT ONLY 'GETS' THRIFTS & RUMMAGE SALES, BUT ALSO REMEMBERS WHAT PATIENTS ARE 'FOND' OF 8-)!!

...diversion tactics

Fan $1, Old drying Rack $1

Before I start this post I think that I should thank BARBARA at OODLES for holding such an Amazing sale this weekend.  Though I live a mere 15 minutes from her, I did not attend on Saturday morning... but I think that everyone else in a 3 county radius must have - which left me with 'clear saling, and good pickings'!!  Soooooo... "THANK YOU BARBARA - hope you did well at your sale, and we await your stories of the weekend!"

 Everywhere I went, there seemed to be scarves... scarves... scarves... and we all know my weakness for scarves - especially when they are great old retro scarves and priced at 2 for .25cents...

 and I find a name like this...

VERA (2012 #12 12.5cents)

 

...and LOTS of FUN other things that just.made.me.smile!

Do you know what this is?  Took me a while!  VICTORIAN BUTTER DISH! "Shouldn't it have a Cow on top instead of a Steer?"

Soft-sided floral suitcase, box of misc. ornaments ($1)

"In 'the silver'"... well, 'silverplate' that is!!  Sweet Loving Cup with GREAT DETAILS!!!

THREE twirly ornaments that were in the bottom of the Christmas box, and a small Chalkboard I found in a FREE BOX

'TINY' indent Tree Topper, also in the Christmas Ornie box...

...details of my 'silver strike'!

  HOPE EVERYONE IN BLOGLAND 'SOUTH' IS STAYING SAFE!!  ALL OF YOUR FRIENDS ARE THINKING ABOUT YOU!

..."My Dog Has Fleas"

ANYBODY OUT THERE REMEMBER THIS?????

(Before you read any further... NO. We don't have any pets!)

First things first!

Our Roadtrip to Ohio was Wonderful.  Full of Fun ~ Friends ~ Family ~ Treasure Hunting & Winery Hopping... what more could you hope to pack into a 3-day weekend? (well, we had heard of a good seaglass beach but time just didn't allow...)

Lots of Goodies for "RESALE"... Harley Drink coozies, retro tin litho sandpail, Redwing plate, Spain pitcher, Moppets Plate, MidCentury candle holder, Waterford candy dish.....

More for resale... American Girl Charms and Charm Bracelet

I did get a little 'Bling' for ME!! VERA 2012 #11 ($1), Sweater Clip 2012 #11 (.50¢), Burmel & Echo Scarves .50¢ea and 2 silver/black rhinestone buttons.

 ~BUT~

My truly FAVORITE find of the weekend?!

Completely Spontaneous...

What am I going to do with it?

Why...?

I.don't.know.

just.

got.

to.

have.

it.

purchase.

.

Can you say...

.

.

UKULELE?

BUT WAIT...

NOT JUST 'A' UKULELE... 

BECAUSE, ON SUCH AN IMPULSE BUY,

YOU HAVE TO BUY TWO!!

 WARNING: 2 UKULELES + WINE IS NOT A GOOD COMBO!

(count for the corkboard is around 450 and it is FULL... now I'm just replacing some 'synthetics' w/ 'real corks', etc...)

I did buy the two Ukes with EVERY intention of resale! HONESTLY I did!! I got them home, cleaned them up, took photos (like my props with the surf board and vintage suitcase? ALOHA!) Started to do my research - learned that they are Soprano Ukes, and the tuning is "MY DOG HAS FLEAS", got the one tuned up, then I fell in love...  OKAY, OKAY... so I'm weak...  Hey, ONE WILL BE FOR SALE! (and just be glad that none of YOU have to listen to it!)

Did you guess it?! 



...430 and still counting!

A.L.M.O.S.T. there.

Doing a 'Girls Roadtrip' to Madison, OH this weekend - sure to hit up a few wineries and add to the tally!! (maybe even hit some garage sales??!)

WISH ME LUCK!
