That's ok, i got PLENTY to share still! :) i hope you enjoy!
i paid a dollar for this gator awhile back.
This vase came from a local yardsale and was only $2.00 and the necklace around the rim was 50 cents. What a BARGAIN! :)
$3.00 for this pouch FULL of glass beads.
This house was in the FREE pile and was going to be thrown away if no one took it.
Along with these gold shoes, that HAPPENED to be my size!
This little lighthouse can be used to store long incense sticks OR my spaghetti pasta! haven't yet decided! lol
And one more, these were 50 cents each and i LOVE them but have only used them for decoration since i don't know what else to do with them! lol i am sure they were used for baking but not positive.
Well, i hope you are as ready for Spring as i am. Here are some desert photos to get us in the mood.
This is the only plant i know for sure, it's an ocotillo. Its blooms are like flames of red!
Here's a closeup:
Thank you so much for sharing this morning with me! HUGS! :) Now i am off to see YOU! Have a PLEASANT Saturday! :)

Shirley, I love all of your finds! I can't believe you got that darling little house free! Can't get a better deal than that. And those wonderful pieces at the end (that you said you are sure are for baking). I love them. laurie
What wonderful finds. I just love to see the terrain where you live. The only time I get to see any kind of cactus is when I visit our botanical gardens nearby.

"The ocotillo cracks its whip of scarlet..."
That's a line from a poem, can't remember the rest, but that line stuck with me for 30 years and counting...used to live in Tucson...
I think you really have an eye for bargains. The lighthouse is just adorable, the colors are so pretty. And that pouch of beads - WOOHOO!!!
The gator is kinda scary...guess out in the desert, though, it wouldn't freak someone out as bad...the brain would tell you "That cannot be real"!!!
I like the sandals that you found! Now you need a special occasion so you can wear them...
I guess for the cactus spring it there...
Have a good Sunday!
Just happened on your blog, and LOVE THE PICTURES of the cactus. Our grandkids just got transferred to Las Crusas, NM and are they ever in for a treat when the cactus bloom. The pics of the clouds are also very beautiful, and the sunset is breath taking.
Have a super day and wonderful week.
I neeeeeed one of those crocodiles for my back yard!!!!! I love your cactus pictures, beautiful and I am sooo in the mood for spring!
The crocodile is TOO funny - is it your gaurd-dog?
GREAT buys, Shirley - specially love the shoes, you will look so pretty in them. I guess you sure can't walk about in them in the desert - you'd get spiked!
How refreshing to see something blooming... I keep wating, waiting.
