Been awhile!

Did you miss me? hehe well, i sure missed you! :D
we got quite far on the dollhouse but that will be for the next post! Today, i have some BARGAINS! WOHOO!
Recently we went to a church sale and found these cute mini swords & pans and that really cool fur box... all for about five bucks! i LOVE a GREAT bargain, don't you? :D

oh i also found this really cute wrap around, recently at the swapmeet...it was only a buck! i LOVE the print!

we also found this lot at a yard sale.

This was a three dollar lot from the swapmeet.

i think i paid a buck for this incense burner. i know it was certainly no more than a dollar. i am thinking of making it like a mini garden sculpture.

with all the stone eggs i buy so cheaply, we are always happy to find pretty egg cups to hold them all.

This was a six dollar lot from a yard sale.

i bought this lovely light sweatshirt for a dollar from a sweet elderly woman's yard sale.

This covered dish was only fifty cents!

we paid two dollars for this small lot. i am thinking of using the statues as mini garden sculptures also.

this bottle topper seemed very old, with bubbles imperfections in it.

we paid a buck for this GREAT salad bowl.

One dollar for this pretty italian plate.

and a buck for this AWESOME rolled bowl.

And of course, more books! lol

And even more still! LOL

We are almost done here, hang in there! hehe
i paid three dollars for this 4 cd set.

We saw this book and sent it to my son in New York since scuba diving is one of his passions!

i was THRILLED to find this mannequin necklace display, for only five dollars!

And finally, we bought this LOVELY hanging charm thingy for a buck and it looks so COOL, the photo hardly does it justice.

Well, that's all i have uploaded. And since me toe is healing so well, i will get more uploaded soon! big HUGS! Thank you for visiting, hope you have a GRAND day! :D

It's Official, it's broken!

popping in to let you know that a few weeks ago, i stubbed my toe, like i have never stubbed it before. got an x-ray and it's got a fracture!

Now i am not use to putting my feet across the internet but i honestly thought this was the first break in my life until the dr. told me that there was a past break in my foot but it healed and he could not tell me how long ago it was broken! INCREDIBLE! lol
No good drugs either, for the pain (and it HURTS!) just a prescription for a heavy ibuproben. LOL
anyways, it's getting better already, i am a quick healer. hehe
big HUGS! sure hope you have an AWESOME day! see ya soon with some bargains! :D

Happy June!

Good evening! it's so nice to take some time off, even if it's only from the computer! hehe And yes, i have PLENTY to show you!
Guess we'll start with a dollhouse update, eh? Let's see, where did we end? :)
i don't think you have seen the tulip box that i made.

And besides, the stairs, the living room is ready for curtains, too.

i am not sure where the update is in this photo but thought i would share it anyways.

i also got more furniture done!

The bathroom finally got wallpapered!

And the pantry, off the kitchen got wallpapered too! WOHOO!

i made some fabric bolts, for the craft room.

And even though, i found a tub that i had around here and am planning out the sink and toilet! hehe

DS said something about a wanting to see a pie cooling in the window! well this may be a little premature but there it is! lol

i also finished another little parasol! i guess i am planning on making a shop to "sell" them! lol

That is all i have uploaded for now but will get busy on it so i can share more still! i sure hope you are enjoying this late spring, where you live! it's just plain getting hot around here! lol of course!
Thanks sooooooooooooo very much for visiting! see you real soon! HUGS! :)

just popping on to say

Have a safe and WONDERFUL Memorial day holiday! see you after! :D

Good evening!

i sure hope your Spring days are as lovely as can be, for you! it is still a bit 'breezy' around here but nothing too bad and yes, the winds are even warming up!
well, as promised, i do have more dollhouse photos uploaded! YAY!! And yes, it's still FUN! lol
This is a little parasol that i made and still want to add a tassel or two! hehe

Here are a bunch of Jack-in-the-box pieces!

Here they all are, almost done, just needing a small crank handle each!

A little hat box that i made from cardboard and pretty paper. :)

These are some mini jewelry pieces, i made.

A few flowers in progress!

i really LOVE how the rooms are coming together!! here is the master upstairs bedroom.

The living room.

Dining room.

The craft room.

More flowers in the making.


i made three large planter boxes, here is the finished result of one filled!

That's all i have uploaded, so far but please be sure to stop back soon for more bargains AND dollhouse things! heheh HUGS! Have a WONDERFUL night! :D

Is anybody out there?

Good morning on this fine Monday morn! The winds FINALLY died down!! that was a week long, this time, sheesh! lol
Anyways, i didn't get to the swapmeet, on Saturday, since DH sold there then, but we did see a few yard sales on Friday and we popped in the swapmeet a bit later, on Sunday! hehe
At an estate sale, i found this organizer, with a few of the drawers still full, for five bucks! Just check out those colors! lol

This craft bag was filled with mostly jute of different colors!

We paid fifty cents for this cactus candle at a yard sale.

This five dollar jewelry lot was also from the estate sale!

This is a wood cube puzzle for a buck and the bulb necklace will work nicely in the dollhouse! hehe

We paid five for this corner unit that DH envisioned for making dollhouse scenes on each shelf! lol

Not sure if this little fiber optic tree will wind up in the dollhouse backyard or not, but we paid a buck for it!

This is suppose to show the tree lit up! Nice try, huh? lol

i paid a dollar for this sweater and almost put it right on, Friday cause it was sooo cold in the morning!

Two for this blanket is a deal!

We don't get to use these canopies often cause of the winds, up here, but it's nice to have them when we CAN use them! this one was only five!

This little treasure was in a free pile!! it will look so CUTE 'rearing' up in the back somewhere! hehe

This yard sale was a bit fun especially when i asked how much something was and was told, "You give me a dollar and you can take what you can carry!" hehe DEAL! lol So i started with this stencil and marble lazy susan:

This fun bottle and terracotta pot too!

DH grabbed up this mug there!

And i quit after finding this COOL mushroom! what a BARGAIN it all turned out to be! lol

This little egg cup and pyrite, along with the ring for DH and another abalone thimble for me, was all from the estate sale, mentioned earlier!

Sunday morning at the swapmeet i found these two PRETTY porcelain eggs for a few bucks!

Then we gathered up this craft stuff, that will be used mostly for the dollhouse.

And finally i found this absolutely BEAUTIFUL vest, for an unbelievably good price!! it is FILLED with gold beads, seed and bugle! just STUNNING!

i hope you return tomorrow, for more dollhouse updates! big HUGS!! Have a BEAUTIUFL day! :D
