Saturday's bargains!

Good evening!! i sure hope you are having a WONDERFUL evening where you are! it's just been H-O-T here, over a hundred everyday for more than a week now and no letting up in sight!! Thank goodness for the swamp cooler! DH told me about when his parents would come out in this area, to the cabin that they owned back in the 50's, and they didn't have a swamp cooler, just a box fan! how awful!! i could not imagine NOT having something to put cool air back into the room!! We didn't even go to the swapmeet for two Sundays in a row now, cause it's just been terrible!
Saturdays, we take DS to work, so are up early enough to run through the swapmeet before it gets too bad! This Saturday, we were ready to leave by a little after 9am and it was already hitting me, how hot it was at that point!! But we sure managed to get a few bargains along the way! hehe
We also saw more puppies for sale, like these pitbull types, that i heard the vendor saying he got a thousand for the girls and they are papered, but i didn't hear how much he wanted for the boys.

Photobucket
But we DID get this vase & framed picture, for a buck total!

These books were $3.00 total.

And then i saw this on the book man's table and ask how much!
Photobucket
At first he told me a buck and as i was getting the money, he says, "Shirley, just take it with ya!!!" THANK YOU!! i guess he realizes just how much business we give him each week! i think he is the ONLY vendor we actually DO buy from, each week! lol
i don't know, i just know it was SWEET of him to do!! :)
This jeweled wire headband was only 50 cents!

Photobucket
We did get a very COOL cowboy hat ceramic, that i forgot to get the re do photo OFF the camera but will share it tomorrow! Other than that, that is all we got today! it was so hot by this point, i can only imagine it was nearing a hundred by 9am!! if we don't get it done in the early morning, it might not get done that day, cause the evenings haven't been offering too much relief either! hehe We did see the roadrunner in the mesquite tree when we got back from breakfast this morning but by the time we got in and the animals out to do their business and then back in & settled, we BOTH forgot about our bird friend!! lol Blame it on the HEAT!!! lol
Anywaysssssssss, thank YOU so much for visiting!! after i post this tonight, i am off to retire for the night!! HUGS! i will be seeing you in the morning!! :)

Bargains, bargains, bargains! But I know what you mean about the heat, our ONLY trash-n-treasure store no longer has even a swamp cooler! It's too hot in there to bear it, I went running out of there this past Saturday, couldn't buy a thing and had to sit in the car with the AC going full blast before I could even drive off! UGH!

I love everything you got, most especially that reindeer, that is going to look so cute at Xmas!!!
