With all the troubles i had with my computer last week, i realize that i didn't get to share with you, all the goodies we got from Tender Loving Care sale. Tender Loving Care is a charity that many donate goods for selling and the money helps those in need in the area, and i LOVE when we can help the people in this community!! It's tough enough just living out here in the
desert and for many who cannot leave it, there are basics that so many need help with!
it's a really WONDERFUL charity with FUN sales about four times each year.
Here are some of the items we got this time, like this thing that we have NO idea what it is or does!! lol it is almost like a very long chinese finger trap.
Remember those?
i also found this LOVELY Christmas runner and stitching kit, that was NEVER opened!!
This Spin Art machine has been such a favorite of mine as a child. it was irresistable to me!!
And even though we have to cut more papers and buy new paint, the machine still works!!!
When i spotted this book, i snagged it quickly! lol i have never seen this done before and thought it was a FANTASTIC gift idea!!
Someone took an old reader's digest hardbound and decoupaged a LOVELY saying with picture, onto it. Then curled up the corners and made it all starchy and stiff!!
Cool, huh? :) i thought so too!!
And onto the swapmeet and finds like this little totem for a buck.
This next photo was a three dollar lot, which includes things like a perfume pen and block of coconut oil soap with molds, a book and new tomato pin cushion, with pins included too!
These FUN Jack-o-lantern earrings were only a quarter!!!
i LOVE this bottle (but then i am a bottle NUT! lol) with a little dancer inside!!
here is a closeup! This bottle is a musical one and the little dancer does a jig!
These little containers open and were only fifty cents a piece!!
This haunted theater and the pink bead necklace draped on it, were free when my DH bought a whole lot of baseball cards and matchbox cars for a bargain price to him!!!
it has a hole in the back for a little light to go inside and light the window in front! Too CUTE! :)
These dragonware ashtrays were a surprising bargain at only fifty cents each!!!
Are these chickens SWEET!?! they hold votive candles and are metal!!
i am going to save the rest for tomorrow!! i sure hope you stop back in cause i LOVE your visits!! big HUGS to you and thank you for sharing this time!! See ya in the morn!! :D

CHICKENS and METAL ART, it does not get better than that, m'dear!
I love it all. You will have a blast with that haunted house all through the fall!!!
And the wooden earrings! How I love punkins.
I know what you mean about people stuck in the desert. Many cannot move. They cannot sell their homes in many extreme desert areas and have enough to get even a shed in a different area. Or they have no means of transporting what few things they have. We have many out here in West Texas in similar situations. It is very sad.
Good Morning Shirley:)
HMMMM...I don't know what that first item is either.Could it be something to cover a cord???:)
Love your goodies!!How fun! I don't think I have ever seen a bottle with a dancer in it..and your chicken votive candle holders will fit in nicely with the other chockens you have collected.:)
Sooo glad your puter is working right again.My cd rw drive and usb ports and card readers won't work right since day before yesterday and Jim's back is in too bad a shape to let him look at it right now.:( Bummers! I did shut the puter completely down and turned it back on and at least the card reader on the puter is working now.YAY! Always look for the positive in a situation!!LOL
Hope you are doing well...and have a wonderful day!
Hugs,
Valinda
The first hose looks like it should go on a refrigerator drain or ice machine drain. We had one for our ice machine.
I have never seen some of that stuff you found! The little dancing lady, now that's definitely different!
But I remember the swirl art oh so well. I will find one for my kids in the next few years so they can destroy my kitchen with paint splatter...
Have a great week and stay cool as always!!!! :)
Shirley, I just visited your last 2posts, and as usual, you got some great treasures! That bottle with the little Scottish dancer is so cute, and I love those metal roosters. I remember playing with one of those swirl art things and having so much fun! laurie
