We rung it in at home with toots and hats and a glass of the bubbly too!
Now onto the bargains!! WOHOO!
We recently bought this cool chicken for three bucks!
These fun little craft ornaments were a quarter!
Two LOVELY golden leaves from Hawaii and PRETTY beads were a total of $1.25!!
These two little crows (with stringy legs) were only a quarter for the pair!!
no trip is complete without BOOKS! lol
and that book of miniatures goes so hand in hand with my 3 dimentional quilling, i LOVE it!! it was only a dollar and is FULL of how to make miniatures!!! WOHOO! :D
Anyways, this aWEsoME thunder egg (small geode) was only a couple of bucks! i LOVE when i find both halves!!
this little stone elephant was only three dollars and the vendor told me that he has had this since he was about 8 (he looked close to fifty years old).
Another geode for a couple of dollars!

These little mittens are going to look ADORABLE next year, strung together into a garland!!
Brand NEW candles for a buck each!! one still had the store sticker of $10.00 on it! UNBLIEVABLE!! And i LOVE candles!!!
we recently found this AWESOME specimen of black tourmaline, with mica and quartz. Looking closer we found a few pieces of green and red tourmaline in this large rock too!! what a GREAT find at the swapmeet!!
and because we buy so much from the book guy at the swapmeet, he gave us this BEAUTIFUL standing shell!
And finally before we start putting ALL the Christmas things away, i wanted to show you how easy it is to create and decorate!
All these items were found at the dollar store AFTER Christmas! Christmissy items were HALF price!! WOHOO!
The berries and flowers come off the bushes easily and can be glued to a 6" wreath!! Add a nice ribbon and it's ready to hang!!
i have PLENTY more Christmas to share over the next few days with more bargains, of course!! hehe Thank you for visiting and i hope you enjoy your evening! see ya tomorrow! HUGS! :D

Hi Shirley!!
FINALLY I come to visit. Like run out and buy a lottery ticket hay? haha, I am the worst blog buddy you should beat me with a stick. haha. But truly I need to smarten up. You desoive a medal for putting up with me last year. I better be better this year or I give you permission to kick me in the virtual butt! *snort*
Oh your TREASURES - I LOVE seeing your buys - we would be true danger together. Our husbands would have to tie our hands together. I love candles too - especially vanilla scented ones. I have to make myself burn one a night coz I have like a lifetime supply. Well not really but enough if the power went out we would not suffer for a night or two.
Did you get a new camera? Your pics are terrific, specially liked the sparkely New Years one. So glad you celebrated in style.
Its soooo cold and icy here tonight, we've had WET snow for two days straight nonstop, then melted all today and tonight its frozen. Treacherous!
Well I hope you have a wonderful week and I'll try to crawl back here more often.
BTW - I managed to find a sweet shirt and a pair of nice slacks at our thrift today for $3 each! Woo Hoo
Love, Barb
