Thrift Store Treasure

Today we took a little journey to The Thrift Store in search of books.
Did we find any???

BINGO

A truck load!


Who could resist books- $.25 a pop?
Not US!

What else did we find?

13 shirts
The most expensive shirt was $4.88 with 75% off.

Again- Who could resist???
Not US!

We are in for a Summer of...

Dresses, Skirts and Shirts-
OH MY!

Stay tuned to see what we come up with for all of our finds...

A faithful friend is a strong defense; And he that hath found him hath found a treasure.

Trash To Treasure

I am so excited when I see post about how people find trash on the side of the road and turn it into treasure.
 
It puts a big smile on my face when I see a book shelf re-stored.
It tickles my fancy when an old chair gets new springs.
It warms my heart when a beat up box gets a new life.
It fascinates when a man's shirt becomes a ladies dress.

Now that I have shown how much I love what people find on the side of the road.

This is what I FIND!?!? 



A Kitten!!!

NO- not a book shelf
NO- not a chest of drawers
NO- not a chair
NOPE- I get a Kitten

I get lucky with a new addition to the Zoo.
Have I ever menitioned that I have
hold on to your seat

4 dogs
3 cats
1 bird
2 humans

I keep telling everyone that the Zoo is closed,
but some how I'm always at the right place at the right time. 
Or- the wrong place at the wrong time.

I guess my heart is warming to the little fellow, so now I get to take my
trash and turn it in to the best treasure of all.

LOVE

One man's trash is another man's treasure
As one woman's junk gives others pleasure.
