Weekend bargains!

i apologize for my delay in returning but i went to the doctor's again yesterday. Even the doctor looked at me, jokingly and said, "You again!" lol since we are not to be there for another two weeks!! "Yea", i told him, " we HAVE to stop meeting like this!" lol but it wasn't ALL fun and jokes, since i was there cause i could not hear from my right ear!!! the day before, i mentioned to my family that my right ear sounds like water in it, and this morning i wake to my ear completely closed!! WELL, the doctor says my eustacian tube closed (might happen to the left ear too!) and it could be closed for 3 days or 3 years!!! ok, well, what can we do? NOTHING! ok, then can we do anything about the ringing in there? He says, NO, he wishes he could help but it has to run its course! there is no wax or fluids in there and what i heard (like the water sound) was actually the air being pushed out of my tube as it closed!! oh YAY! so now i sit here, no lie, half deaf!! i can hardly believe there is NOTHING to be done and GOD help me if this goes on longer than three days!!!!
oh well, enough of that, huh?!! :) onto the bargains!! WOOHOO! :)
This PRETTY purple dish and pot holder we got at a yard sale for a buck total! the pot holder has rubber gripping on the one side and i have never seen that before! how useful for in the kitchen!!

while we were there, i saw these GORGEOUS, large red flowers and was told that the mom is selling them too!!! COOL!!!!!

Shirley, I am not a doctor but honey, I think you need an ear-nose-and-throat ENT right away. That deafness is just no good and very worrisome!!!

I love your bargains but I'm so worried about that ear that I can't enjoy them properly!!!
