i finally got a decent photo of the raw garnets my sweetie found last Saturday. Although i am NOT sure if those lighter stones in the back are garnet or what. :)
it must have been awful FUN finding real garnets though! i can hardly wait till i am up to going too since it wasn't far! Next Thursday we are hoping to go and find some quartz and other FUN FUN stones! but i will share that then! hehe
We did go to the swapmeet this morning and found some goodies.
a two dollar bunny basket (about 8 inches tall) and its a two piece basket too.
This little fellow for a dollar.
a pretty gold & gemstone necklace for two dollars.
oh and i LOVE this BIG leather photo/scrapbook that is in EXCELLENT condition! take a guess at how much i paid for this? ONE DOLLAR! that's crazy!
These WONDERFUL books for 50 cents each!
the cross stitch book originally cost almost $30!! AND the cookbook is from 1936!!
These cool mushrooms were only a dollar and are almost 12 inches tall! And they will stay an outside decoration!
This BEAUTIFUL piece of fabric that is a good square foot, for a dollar!! :)
And the reverse side isn't too shabby with its glittery look! hehe
This little BEAUTY for two dollars!
close up
and finally i could not believe these absolutely PERFECT condition tatted gloves for only one dollar!!!
That swapmeet is a BLAST and we are always AMAZED at the deals there! And even though there are TONS of yards sales and estate sales, we hardly get around to them! i would LOVE to go to more estate sales, they have some INCREDIBLE finds sometimes! but i won't be going ANYWHERE if this rib doesn't heal up better!!! when i went to see my doctor and he took me off the vicadin, he didn't give me anything else for pain. so i have tried now, all this week, to tolerate it and tonite when i coughed, i felt something pop!! and it wasn't good! hurts so much more tonite! oh and the BEST part is that now since coughing or sneezing all week, and compensating or maybe over compensating for the one side, the OTHER side is started to tense and hurt too!! i may have to go BACK to the dr and remind him of my allergies and BEG for something to help me through. i hold my ribs when i sneeze or cough and it is just not getting any better yet! i still hurt so much when taking deep breaths. oh well, i didn't mean to go off on that rant! i MUST be in pain!hehe i usually keep this blog a little lighter than all this so i guess i will give you all a GENTLE hug and say goodnight!! i will see you tomorrow and hope you have an AWESOME Saturday evening! :) Thanks soo much for hanging in there with me!! (waving) 'Nite!!

DEAR XASHEE,
I PRAY HEALING FOR THAT RIB AREA. IT IS DIFFICULT TO FUNCTION WHEN YOU ARE IN PAIN.
YOU FIND SOME OF THE BEST SALES FOR NEXT TO NOTHING.
WHEN I WAS LITTLE... FOURTH GRADE WE READ THE BOOK/ OR I SHOULD SAY OUR TEACHER READ US A CHAPTER EVERY DAY OUT OF THE BOX CAR CHILDREN....IT WAS A RED HARDBACK BOOK...........THEY NOW HAVE A SERIES OF PAPER BACK BOOKS CALLED BOX CAR CHILDREN BUT IT IS NOT THE BOOK I WANT.
I USE TO WANT TO JUST HOLD THAT BOOK.....MY TEACHER ALWAYS WORE DARK RED POLISH AND I LOVE THAT COLOR...I LIKE DARK POLISH....NOT BLACK BUT THE BERRY COLORS AND DARK RED...DARK PLUMS ....ANY WAY I THINK IT IS BECAUSE OF MY TEACHER....BUT I THINK THE BOOK IS COPYRIGHT 1953....ITS ODD I AM 53...MAYBE I WILL FIND IT THIS YEAR.
I WOULD KEEP IT ON MY BEDSIDE TABLE.
WOULD YOU KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN FOR IT....THAT WOULD BE SUCH A TREASURE...I SAW ONE ON E-BAY ONE TIME AND THE STARTING WAS 75.00....I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND MONEY.....I AM A $5.00 TOPS GAL.I COULD NEVER PAY THAT KIND OF MONEY FOR ANYTHING.
BLESSINGS DEAR ONE
HAVE A BEAUTIFUL WEEK-END.
