Good morning!

i sure hope your day is starting out better than mine, where ever you are! :)
Are you ready for some more older bargains? me too! hehe
One day hubby came home with these funky salt & pepper shakers for something like 50 cents total.

And i LOVE this desk piece filled with petrified rock, i remember he paid a buck for this!

This Asian ball is just AWESOME! i think he said he paid $5. for it with the stand.
the stand reminds me of something from Africa though...still looks GREAT together!

here are better photos:


And the stand:

A silver and abalone bracelet for $2.00.

An amethyst bracelet for a buck and i LOVE it!

A BUNCH of miniature doll things like purses and shampoo bottles & much more.; all kinds of FUN goodies, for a dollar!

Since we took the other house, like this, apart, the hubby was thrilled to surprise me with another one, in even better shape than the one we took apart!! LOL this house has REAL sounds for the doorbell, toilet and shower and even the washer and dryer spin!! it's really a cute Mattel toy! i remember he paid less than $5. for this toy that is almost $200.00 brand new! Can you believe it?

This rock (possibly rose quartz) is hollowed out on the inside and looks GREAT on a little light box!

This AWESOME top came with a matching necklace (look closely, at top of hanger). i got it from a moving sale for just a couple of bucks!

The day before Halloween, we got this way COOL ceramic Jack-o-lantern for 50 cents!

a package of collapsible cups for only a quarter!

these are the tiles we picked up at a yard sale for $5.00 for the whole box and we want to put it in our bathroom! it will look so nice!

Hubby came home one day with this, for making into some kind of miniature scene!

i LOVE this framed art, we got for a buck!

Some magazines!

oh and here is the inside of that jack-o-lantern, it came with a votive holder and lid!

Since it was only 50 cents, i had to buy the other one too! LOL

A piggy for outside.

a buck for these two COOL pieces!

i LOVE this nude handle we picked up for a buck!

Some wormwood, for less than a buck, that we thought we could incorporate into mini floral scenes, maybe. :)

this velvet black top was either a buck or 50 cents, i can't remember which.

More clothes.

Some pewter pieces, we found cheap!

Stick with me, there is only a few more. :)
like these agate slices! i LOVE the blues!!

i got all these glass (or stone) mules for a dollar!! i forget how cheap that rock was! lol

And lastly, for today, we got this AWESOME spinning glass display! it was only THREE dollars!


Stop back soon, because i will be posting like crazy to get somewhat caught up! WOHOO! Til then, have a GREAT day! hugs

some more older bargains

Well, i didn't make it yesterday (because noone seems to be stopping by anymore) but i figure i enjoy blogging and you can scroll down! hehehehe
Anyways, let's begin our little journey!
My hubby does go to yard sales and estates sales sometimes without me while i stay home with the animals or because the weather might be a bit too chilly for me, and this one day he came home with truly a REAL bargain! He came walking in with box after box (4 in total) of all dollhouse miniatures, for just $30.!! SCORE!!!!!
Among the joy was:
bags of bricks

some bright & shiny hardware

an 'old'(brand new) ice box

a whole 4 room kit

some china

oh i had such FUN rooting through the pile of goodies, just from ONE of the boxes!!

and i found some silver sets too

Even potholders and potholder rack!! lol CUTE!

MORE matching china pieces

An old register

and an old Coca Cola mirror

Even some boxed doughnuts!!! i LOVE it!

More kitchen pieces

An old meat grinder too!

Various goodies

Even MORE silver!! WOHOOO!

A few packages of window blinds!

oh there was so much inside the boxes, i could hardly believe the deal he found!

That takes care of so many little details that we couldn't make and will definitely perk up any room or house! it will be so much fun when we finally get back to it.
It's all been on a back burner around here until we get all the animals to get along. Cali is so full of energy that the 10 year girl, Cookie (the white one)
LOVES Cali but doesn't want him jumping on her all the time.
And our other little boy, Coco (the red one) seems to like him ok, but not all the time! So we still have some work with them.
Well, i hope you enjoyed this little trip! i know i sure did, but then i always enjoy the time together! Hope the weather is getting better where you live! Stop back again cause you know i am not done! hehe Have an AWESOME day! :)

Are you ready for some older photos?

i spent a few hours this morning and uploaded! YAY!! So many photos, so little time, so let's get started! :)
Just before we got Cali (he's about 8 months old now and so full of energy, still needing lots of attention) we had been working on a mini floral shop, here are some of our works.
this one is a bit hard to see but it's a plant i made, planter and all:

a gift bag i made too:

here might be a better shot of it and NO the nail file will NOT be the pole but fit so perfectly until we find one! LOL

the plant display:

miscellaneous things finding a spot, like the little gift box sets. :)

with little birdhouses and all you may need for your garden, hehe

one of the wall shots.

more plants looking for their place in the shop.
