This weekend was a bit sparse being a holiday weekend but there are ALWAYS bargains there!
one announcement bothered me though...the swapmeet owner came on the public announce system & said that someone stole the pony sculpture! if anyone knows about it, keep an eye out for it & such but who could believe someone would do that!?!
Photobucket
the owner of the swapmeet has cool different things like this all around the lot and i sure pray it finds it way back home somehow!
well, enough about me, i am anxious to do my rounds and visit YOU! hehe Thank you so much for visiting!! Have an AWESOME Monday! HUGS! :)

I hope those wretches that stole the pony scupture get what's coming to them. How mean of them!!!

You got some GREAT bargains. I love seeing what you get. It makes up for living in the crummiest shopping area in the ENTIRE U.S.A. !!!

Your Easter dinner looked good. I really like that hen dish that held your pretty eggs.

That shelf sitting Santa is so cute, and I love that bejeweled spoon. Do you think it is something someone crafted? So cool. How horrible that someone would take off with the pony! What nerve that took to steal something that big. I can't believe nobody saw anything! You have enough reading material to keep you busy for awhile! laurie
