Yah, they wouldn't know what hit them!

There used to be a Grandma's Attic in Seattle when we lived there in the 80's. Don't know if it's still there or not. Lots of thrift-y items and funky stuff. And I think they served sandwiches and such for lunch too.

I garden for the pollinators.

I love the frog wistfully peering in the window!

I tried cleaning the wax off one of those painted candle holders, and the alcohol removed some of the paint. Oh, well!

Just because it ISN'T complicated doesn't mean I can't MAKE it complicated!

Thanks about the frog. I bought him and he's broken legs, lost an eye and basically need a little fixing.

Vic, that thrift shop tour would be such fun! Great idea. We could get this huge bus....

I'm ready to go with you all. But in the mean time get a gander at what I got. 2 stores, total 25.00.
-) these were freebies.

In the pic with the shoes, the frosted light shades are for my antique floor lamp. The decanter that has the shape of the I dream of Jeanie bottle is going on my bar that we have to finish this winter.

Most everything was priced between $2.00 and $5.00 I got 50% and 80% off all most all of it.

Save the planet, it's the only one with chocolate.

Did you notice that decanter top in the last pic on the right? It reminds me of carnival glass, it has blues and purples in it. I have the perfect totme to put it on too. Will do that later and show you.
