Sharing a little of Saturday

Yesterday when we left, in the morning to take DS to work, this is what we saw!
jan 10 moon setting at dawn
That's the moon setting, in the west as the sun was coming up on the east!! It was still so bright & BEAUTIFUL!
After breakfast, we found these at the swapmeet!!
This ashtray is about 5 inches and was only a dollar!!
5" ashtray for a dollar
Here the back shows it's from Portugal!!

i usually buy these, what i think are called bolos, for my brother-in-law but i think i may have to keep this one with a malachite stone.

And finally, i got this bowl for just two dollars but the picture doesn't show how the red shimmers and makes it irresistible! hehe

I also made a layout of a small part of the some chicks that hang around my house.

i read somewhere once that chickens, in the kitchen, are suppose to bring good luck, so there they are! :D Not that i bought them for that reason, i hadn't even read that til after i had them, but most of the chickens i have are outside!(sorry the older photos are so much bigger)
rooster collection
And these basket ones:

(you can see the picture if you right click & save as, again i apologize for the bigger photos)
On a sidenote:
Speaking of bringing luck, i also read that nothing attracts wealth and good luck like a water fountain! Always pretty if nothing else! :D
And finally i found another AWESOME site for giveaways, i hope you check out and enjoy!! :D
One World, One Heart
That's it for me today! Thank you so much for visiting, i hope you have a GREAT day!

You design is nice too.

Have a great week!

What BEAUTIFUL treasures you find, my friend. It would be dangerous for me to visit your place, I'd want to take it all home LOL!

I've a little award on my blog for you, my friend.

Love, Barb

I am also crazy for chickens! I have them all over my kitchen! I also love eggs (but which came first? Loving the chickens or the eggs LOL???) -- what a pretty blog you have!

Ps. The bolo was a great find! Would make a fantastic bracelet idea, using the stone as the center and attaching the ropes & a clasp for the rest!!
