Another day in paradise!

Hi again! :) i had to wait quite awhile for use of the computer today! my DS plays World of Warcraft (what the kids call WOW) all day when he is off work! Then i also share the computer with my sweet DH too! Even though we have two computers, i think we need THREE! LOL Anyways, this weekend we didn't get too many bargains and it was a nice weekend too! it's such a weird & WONDERFUL place, that swapmeet, one never knows just what will be there! :)
like this AWESOME glass dish:

OH and we bought these gel pens for $5. What a DEAL!!!

This weekend there were TWO vendors with puppies. these lab mixes were just $10.each. (there was a sign with the price, i didn't ask!! if i ask, i buy! lol)
Photobucket
And these SWEETIES, i have no idea if they were free or not. the one that is looking into the camera was almost IRRESISTABLE!!! i would talk to them and that one responded soo quickly, it was sooooo touching my heart!
Photobucket
Then today, we saw a NEW vendor (WOOHOO!! NEW STUFF! lol) and mostly got skirts, for a buck each. i will take pictures of them tomorrow, after washing! :) oh and i bought new sunglasses too! LOL i saw these leopard print ones that i laughed at first at, and then tried them on and LOVED them! LOL somehow the print isn't as obvious when on, go figure! :) they were only FIFTY cents too!
what a BARGAIN! and then for the first time, a vendor wrapped my clothes in tissue paper and gave me this WONDERFUL bag with handles! i felt like i had just shopped at Bloomingdale's! lol it really was nice!!
We did talk with the gemstone vendor today, he told us last weekend that he wanted to see what we got from Opal Mtn., so we showed him a sample of banded agate and this opal stone:

And in return he showed us this BEAUTY that he made:

i kinda got the feeling that he wanted to make a joke about what we found until he saw that stone... it was funny, he got kinda serious and told us "Remember the feeling you got when you first found this? you will feel that AGAIN, if you have something like this polished!"
He obviously saw some kind of fire in that opal sample! YAY!! lol
oh and then today, we found THREE more books at a buck each! LOL we got to learn to stay AWAY from the bookman! LOL but for a dollar each, who can go wrong!? AND i got a scrappers book too!!
Photobucket
Then we ended our morning with a trip to Home Depot to check out the plants. my DH didn't see the dahlias that he had hoped, but did see these Kalanchoes and bought one for me! :)
just look at those succulent leaves!

This weekend had pretty good winds up here on the mountain, but not so much downtown. it was sunny warm but the winds still carry a cooler air with them but all in all it was a LOVELY weekend! i sure hope you had a TERRIFIC one too! Thank you so very much for your SWEET comments on my last post with my layout!! Keep 'em coming! lol i LOVE 'em!! :) Big HUGS!! Thank you so much for visiting! i hope you have a WONDERFUL evening and i will see you in the morning! Now, i return you to your show already in progress! :)

Hi dearie! Sounds like the swapmeet was even more exciting than usual! I want to see those dollar skirts and also the sunglasses! And snap a picture of your desert anchor if you get a chance -- LOL I know why you have an anchor in the desert -- you have the house tied to it or the horrible winds would blow it away! I need one here!!! Wind wind WIND!!!

Hi Shirley - I would also like to see the shades... LOL. Sounds like you had an amazing weekend. I spent some time digging out Hubby's rock collection from the cabin... time for spring cleaning - and I think after 3 yrs, it is time to display them. I feel like it is not fair to you if I have all these glorious rocks in the house, and they are not out to be seen. So yeah - I am doing it for you!!!

Funny about the dogs. You gotta contol feed time, or someone usually gets hurt - and I think it would be the humans!!!

Have an amazing day!!!!

You have way more patience and restraint then I do! I never take the time to search through all the goodies to find the best buys. I just buy...buy...buy...LOL!
