If You Can't Say Anything Nice. . .

I've had a busy couple of weeks! But don't worry--I made time to thrift and yard sale. I realized this afternoon that I need to take pictures of some of the great things that I find. The truth is they are probably still in my car! It's time for a serious "clean out the car" session. How can I buy more junk if my car is full? And, I don't like the looks that poor, unsuspecting drive thru workers give me. You know.....the...... "are you a hoarder?" look. Hoarder is way too harsh. I prefer to call my self a re-seller. Moving on...

This is a picture of my dad cooking ribs. We celebrated on July 5th. They were delicious. We had a wonderful meal with lots of laughs.

I saw this beauty at the Goodwill. Pure harvest gold goodness. This stove was so clean! It looked like it had never been used.

And finally.... I so should have bought this pillow. It was less than $2.00 and had the cutest saying:

I find myself in this seat more often than not. Gossip is a terrible thing but it seems to be one of my favorite hobbies. Lord help me!

Random and Bizarre Things Seen At The Thrift Store

I was in the Goodwill the other day when this caught my eye. There was this huge cabinet / desk type piece furniture that had been turned on its side, I guess from being wheeled in on the cart. On the underside of the piece was this collection of lipstick blots. Why, as my Mama would say "pray tell", would someone repeatedly kiss the underside of a piece of furniture? Bizarre! I have several theories...none of which will I mention here.

At America's Thrift I saw this faux marble kit. This is special to me because when we moved into our house some 18+ years ago, the Mr. did a fine faux marble job around our fireplace. Why would anyone want faux marble--which was essentially a lot of paint carefully swirled and applied over the top of sheetrock? I'll tell you why. It was the early 90's. That's how we rolled. For $2.98 I could have brought it back. Just sayin'.

And finally, I've stated before that I love learning new things. I also love learning of associations. Well, wrap your brain around this association. Kevin Trudeau of the "Natural Cures" book fame apparently had another As Seen On TV product: Kevin Trudeau's Mega Memory. I did not take the time to open this kit. Apparently Kevin has been an entrepremanure, um, entrepreneur for a long time!
