Saturday morning. I haven't opened the front door yet although its five already. I suppose the world is still out there, waiting for me. "I" has shown no interest in looking out either. We are waking up slowly this morning. Oh yes please check out the picture on the side. Ryan and Mikayla. Aren't they cute.
Yesterday I went rummaging with my friend Joan. I believe if I ever win the Power Ball and have millions that I would still love to go to sales. They make me happy. You drive up and start casing the goodies if they are out where you can see them. Trying to figure where you should start first. There has to be a plan to good rummaging . You can't just wander up willy nilly. Start with what looks the best at first glance and go from there. Of course there are usually hidden goodies that you don't see at first. The surprise treasures are always the best. Things you never expect to find. And if you get it at a real bargain, even better.
First off I bought a little statue of a humming Bird. I have little figures around my sink. Several dogs, a owl and a Donkey. Now I have Humming Bird. I love it. I always feel better washing dishes with my little animals around me. At the same rummage sale I also bought a picture frame. I don't need it right now but for a quarter who could pass it up. I got a stuffed Rabbit in a dress to sit in my rocker on the front porch. She looks very cute and I call her Molly. A bargain for one dollar. I bought a spatula with a long handle. My best buy was two very ugly vases that are pink and have Flamingos on them, oh yes they are plastic too. They are so ugly they are pretty. I proudly brought them home. For a dime a piece, thank-you very much.
I also bought a small assortment of other items. Not tons of stuff, just enough to feel I had been rummaging without it being so much the Emperor hollered. He yells, "Not more clothes, not more clothes." The Emperor does not understand the need for accumulating. Two pairs of jeans, two shorts, a few shirts, mostly pocket "T's", some underwear and he's happy. He sees no need for all the little bric a brac I carry home. I bought a large lace curtain panel today. Not a pair only one. "Why would you buy only one curtain," he asked? As I proudly showed my treasures to him."Why not," I replied. It was only a quarter after all.
I guess men just do not share the joy of rummaging like most women do. I try to keep the picture of the Hoarders in my mind as we went from sale to sale. I used restraint, at least I thought I did. It was fun, we laughed and ooed and awed over each others finds. A nice way to spend a Friday morning. So if you don't go to rummage sales and dig through other peoples discards, try it. Its just so much fun.
Well another day here in Blogland creeping to a close. It seems I said alot to say a little, as I had very little to say. It just seems to take me so many words to say much of nothing at all. Did you understand that? I didn't. Well I will go for today.Take care. But for now. I'm outta here. here.
