Shirley honey do you think you have enough purses yet??? LOL...

Can you have too many?! NO!

I love it ALL this week! You really racked up the bargains. I don't which is my absolute favorite. Of course the hens are adorable. As is the peacock. The jewelry is beautiful, too. The little cart for the table is so unique!!!

I crown you Queen of the Bargains!

Dear Xashee aka Shirley,
what wonderful bargains....I love hens on a nest especially the white milk glass one...I collect white milk glass
Those cacti were awesome...the one that looked dead but had new life shooting out of it...sure offers hope to anyone who is facing a crisis in their life...that was awesome.....the heat is fierce your way and I thought we were hot....I was at my sisters in phoenix 2 years ago when it was 115 degrees.
you certainly find the most interesting things and at such good prices....the peacock planter was also awesome.
Angel hugs
debbie
