Sunday bargains, a CRAZY world, new site & layout!

Hi! i hope this day finds you well! i apologize for not being here yesterday but i was yet again, locked out of my computer use! (sigh!) you see, we have a download limit (yes, we pay for it! crazy, i KNOW!) and when we go over that limit, the internet connection is worse than dial up! and with three of us using this internet, it happened TWICE in a week, now! (big sigh!!) oh well, i am back now and have some Sunday bargains to show! WOOHOO! hehe :)
the weekend did not pass by without BOOKS! lol
three dollar total
And since it was a holiday weekend, here in the States, there were not too many vendors there, on Sunday, but i did find this! now i may be getting tacky in my old age but i really like this bracelet!!
five dollar bracelet
This opal ring was a deal at a buck!! lol and i knew i had gotten one just like it before and when i got home, i did find the other ring and they ARE identical! well not exactly identical, since one has a jeweler's mark and the other doesn't! lol i still think it soo PRETTY! :)
one dollar opal ring
this neckalce with, i think it's a shark tooth, maybe, and some kind of onyx gold thingy, & a cheap ring was all only a buck! :)
one dollar total
And finally, we finally squared away with the couple who have Cinnamon. The lady of the couple called me over and showed me some more rocks she found at her place and one of them was this turquoise stone. well, she was going to get it priced but DH said "why don't we just call it even if she could have that stone!" lol i wasn't all for it but she was and here it is! :)
turquoise
i LOVE it! but i don't really know if it is dyed or not! guess i will eventually find out! hee hee
Anyway, like i said there weren't too many vendors that day! But before i go, i want to share a few more things! WOOHOO! lol
first is this silly photo. one day when DH and i went to Walmart, we saw this: Can you see it?
shrink wrapped car
Yep! it's not bad enough that someone shrink wrapped a car but they included a shopping cart in that wrap!!! LOL why on earth ANYONE would do that, i have no clue but they you have it just the same! lol it's a crazy world! lol
and finally i wanted to share with you a gem of a site named Granny Art!!! This WONDERFUL blogger shares her goodies, as they are and for whatEVER you want! WOOHOO! (doing a dance! lol) and when you see some of the freebies, i am sure you will dance too! lol To check her out please go to GrannyArt

Well now - since I have been so late and absent, it is only fitting that I be the first to respond to your blog.

It is always such a treat to see your latest finds!!! The duplicate rings are just a testamony to the fact that you love what you love (with consistency) That is a good quality!

The bracelet is toally cool (retro). You have a great eye!

Loved the shrink wrapped car. You really gotta wonder!

And... who does not love the grand canyon! Great layout. I love that you are posting them.

Have an awesome Day!!!!!!!

hugs,

eila

Well that new layout is my newest favorite! I love it! GORGEOUS!

That's a BIG chunk of turquoise! The color is so rich on it. I think they are dying (and stabilizing) just about every chunk of turquoise they dig up anymore...have you seen the chalk green turquoise lately? I think it's from China, not sure, but it's such a pretty green...

The teens here have JUST NOW started that shrink wrapping of cars, but I have NEVER heard of one with a shopping cart involved! That's NUTS!!!

Well I must be tacky, too, because I super-love that bracelet!!!
