i've shared Karen's blog before, for a LOVELY journey and WONDERFUL art, well, she shared her talents and painted these and asked which quote or scripture we like and the best quote i know is the one DH and i always say to each other. :) Thank you so VERY much Karen .
i LOVE it!!
Second, on one of my daily blog journeys and through simply commenting, i won another giveaway and these BEAUTIFUL earrings!! Thank you soo VERY MUCH dear Penniwig !!
the first sign of FUN was a bunny sticker on the envelope.
And more FUN inside of course!! The earrings came on this CUTE cardstock tag AND TWO pieces of YUMMY marshmallow bunnies!! DH ate one almost immediately! i AT LEAST waited for a photo!! lol

Isn't it fun shopping with me? lol i enjoy your company!! :)
These jars were 50 cents each too! and they are like glazed on the inside with a rubber seal lid! :)

This little guy was a buck and is about 10 inches tall and i was soo pleased at how heavy it is too! The wind won't be taking this guy anywhere! hehe

On the way home we stopped at one yard sale! ( not that we didn't spend enough already! HAha)
i got these 4 scarves for just a dollar!

And this green (don't let the color in the photo fool you) leather purse was only a dollar!

The wierd thing about this purse is that the zipper went WAY up INTO the handle, i never saw that before!

Since i almost ALWAYS have my camera, as we left the yard sale, i snapped a photo of the rosemary bushes that were flourishing there!!! And the smell was INCREDIBLE! :)

LOL Shirley honey those candy bunnies were just to keep the earrings from getting squished, those marshmallow bunnies are AWFUL tasting that's why I had to eat the whole bag after sending the earrings off to you...LOL...had to keep my family safe from cheapo marshmallow bunnies...

I LOVE what you got this time. I don't know what is my favorite this time, the pig sure has my heart but the faux opal bracelet is awfully pretty, and the glazed bottles with the birdies on top are adorable...ALL of it...how do you find such treasures?
