When we went back to the swapmeet on Sunday, one of the vendors was unloading box after box, MOST of them, just filled with GOODIES! The following is what we got for $10.00!
This WONDERFUL animal print, summer dress!
FUN blue & white fabric and Memoirs of a Geisha DVD.
a wine bottle basket
FOUR large, gold charger plates and a package of artist paintbrushes.
THREE boxes of these clear Christmas ornaments! When i was a craft manager, we would do demonstrations and one of them was filling these kinds of balls with acrylic paints and letting them swirl around & dry on the inside for very different and COOL effects.
This Spray dye kit, complete with the dye powders in bottles AND the shirt!!
This little, glass windchime and picket fence and bee in this plastic box bottom.
How FUN are these?!! they will make an AWESOME mosaic piece!!
This animal print fabric was a couple of yards. it would make a GREAT summer top, it is so light and silky.
This FUN sun bottle.
Although i am NOT sure what would be kept in the container (maybe glasses?) but the bowl is INCREDIBLE! we found bowls like these before but they were ALL plastic, this one is glass, well maybe ceramic but a WHOLE lot COOLER than the plastic ones!! lol
And last but not least, i also got this CUTE egg holder.
Then on the way home we stopped at ONE more yard sale, and picked up this cookie jar for just TWO dollars!!
we are not sure if we want to use it inside or out, it is that COOL! LOL
That is it except for DH taking a box of books to our local book exchange and got store credit for them, well, he came out with SIX more paperbacks!! lol so we ended up with MORE books! But he knows i LOVE The Cat Who series by Lilian Jackson Braun.
This Wednesday is the last Rock meeting for a couple of months (they take the summer months off) and hopefully DH is going to sign up for going to the next Rock Hunt dig! oh i HOPE he decides to go, the reason for not being sure is because it is going to be $75.00 fee PER PERSON!
But just look at where it will be!! Himalaya tourmaline mine dig
i am hoping to find out that they will either have a cheaper group rate or buy so many and one gets in free!!! but if only DH can go, i would still be happy! it must be absolutely AWESOME to find a REAL gemstone!! so far our excursions have been FUN but nothing like this, OBVIOUSLY since we hadn't had to pay anything yet! LOL
oh well, it's close to dinnertime and i should go. Have a FANTASTIC evening and thank you so much for visiting! HUGS! :)

Tourmaline is a very expensive gemstone, and no wonder, it's beautiful in all its colors, especially the "watermelon" bicolor. Gosh, if only you could know if he would find one, it could pay for his trip! But $75 is very steep, but then again, for the fun and memories it is a good price!
I love the rest of your bargains! The saguaro cookie jar is so cute!!!
You really had some good deals there. I think since you guys enjoy rock hunting so much your DH should go to the Rock hunt thing. You only live once! :)
More great finds! That cactus cookie jar is so cute, and I love that those chargers have the pretty beading around the edges. laurie
I love the cactus cookie jar, this must be cultural because I never see anything like that here in New England. So many wonderful finds. You must have so much fun selecting all these treasures.

What a bunch of nice finds you got! I love the cookie jar! I sure hope that BOTH of you can go to the Himalays dig. Maybe you could hook up with some others people- it says buy 5 and get the 6th free! LOL I would love to see those cowboys boys after you make them into a birdhouse. I have seen them before, but forgot how they did them. Have a great and not so windy day Shirley.
Hugs
