new love

yes its true! As much as I love yard sales, thrift shops, estate sales & flea markets . . . I found some goodies in a new way.
I have a new found love for auctions!

I went to one about a year ago and it was scary and I was very intimidated so I left. But not this time!!!!

He was a great auctioneer! I mean I don't really have anyone to compare him to- but he talked for hours straight and even cracked a joke here and there?!? George is great in my eyes:)

Josh was a tropper. We won him a box of wooden goodies for $1.50 when we first arrived & it was worth every penny! It kept him entertained for a while! Clearly a new pair of flip flops may have been a better find but -its cool;)

I hope to go to another one soon:)

Sunday

 was a good day . . . I have been trying to write this post for 2 nights but I keep falling asleep with my laptop! LOL- I'm getting old I guess?!?

We went to a HUGE flea market on Sunday. I was kind of disappointed there really wasn't that much . . . we saw lots of old Tupperware. I got everything from this one shady lady.

I got these cool coasters  . . .

I got a really colorful vintage tablecloth, that I love . . .

It made Charlie smile too:)

Since I bought those 2 things   . . .she gave me deal on a piece of Pyrex

I don’t have any in this pattern!
After we went to the park & ate lunch. Then Josh hung out with his dad. (I know I don’t talk about him on this blog- there really isn’t much to say. Sadly he hasn’t been a big part of Josh’s life . . .but Josh loves him very much- we just pray that he is a bigger part of his life as he gets older)

While Josh was out I ran to Ikea with my friend Scott . . .

He is helping my boss open up another deli & he needed to get some display tables . . .

Then we had some sushi- LOTS &LOTS OF SUSHI- it was SOOO good

I am getting much better with chopsticks!!!

Happy Saturday

I have waitressed the Saturday morning shift for what seems like forever (there were a few small breaks here & there) With the same 3 lovely ladies that have become like family to me through out the last 12 years. It has never been a burden for me to go to work in the past. It is actually really fun, we laugh a lot . . .talk a lot . . . and eat a lot . . . and it has always been the busiest day of the week~ $o the money was great!

 But its been tough since Josh started kindergarten in September . . . and I no longer had any weekdays off with him. I just wanted to lay around and hang out in our pajamas, eat pancakes & do fun things on Saturdays  . . .but I couldn't :(  So in January I finally let them know that I wanted to be with Josh more. My boss is great & he always says, 'motherhood is more important then waitressing':)

My first offical Saturday off  was last week & I LOVED every single second of it.

We went to Chuck E. Cheese's!

This week it was on to Kangaroo U . . .

Not only did I get to sleep in  . . .& get to have an awesome day with Josh! I also stopped by a great Estate Sale & found tons of goodies.

The home was completely retro, it was in beautiful condition . . very clean & well kept.

 Each room had its own  brightly colored theme.

I wanted to take more pictures but I didn't want to freak the family out.

I also wanted to move in, but I thought that might freak them out as well?

Did I mention the woman that formally lived in this house was a seamstress!!!

She even color coordinated her buttons in vintage candy boxes . .

I LOVE THESE BUTTONS . . .I have no idea what I could possibly do with all of them but I LOVE THEM!

I also got a bunch of  fabric . . . do you like the orange velvet (again, don't have a clue what I am going to do with it?!?)

I love this black floral tin . . .

A bunch of lace doilies . . .

Vintage thread . . .

This cute orange cat

& white owl  . . .

A black clutch & a GE flip clock . . .

ALL for VERY cheap:)

Most of it will be going to the new Etsy shop that I have been working hard on.

But that will not be open for a few more weeks I will be sure to keep you posted!

Have a great weekend!

Oh Yes & I would like to say  HAPPY 3rd BIRTHDAY  to my sweet niece . . .
