My mom and I went to the Salvation Army Thrift Store and saw this brand new rattan chair much like the ones above...weelllll....the chair was marked $60.00, but it was going to go half off in two days, so I said to my mom, "It will only be $30.00 in a few days, just go back." Then I saw the same chair in Country Living on the airplane home, so I quickly called and said, "Hurry Go Get It!!!!Hurry!!"

It was gone. Thrift Store 101
Buy Now or It will be Gone!!

Ooopsie Daisy!

A Walk in My Shoes...

Once upon a time I had the cutest Steve Madden Clogs ever! They were so cute my friend Mary bought a pair too. (Then we came dressed to a party exactly the same...oooops!)

Then we bought a cute puppy named Mighty Casey....

Her favorite thing to eat was shoes... and so went my cute Steve Maddens. She only ate one, but it is hard to clomp around on one clog....

soon we became friends again....

although she didn't observe my personal body space rule.....

But that's okay because look what I found this week at my local G-Dub!!! If you want something enough it will come back to you-- sometimes through the Goodwill!!! (these are the brown variety, but I love them just the same!!)

Le Cruset

Le Cruset

In the bin at Goodwill

I snagged them both.

Even I was shocked.

They make the BEST vessels to bake bread in:

And they match the set that I already own.... Once again...shocked!

I found them in my little G-Dub on Parker Road right here in Aurora, Colorado. Would you like a tour?

How
Cute

Is this?

I checked out the new Parker, CO G-Dub. It's a very nice and clean store, the items were a little picked over due to the Grand Opening 50% Sale. The prices seemed a little high for G-Dub, but we'll see how it goes. I'm sure I will find myself there again soon!!

Grand Opening

Maybe I will see you there!

Head to Toe G-Dub Glamour

Looove this outfit.....ALL from the G-Dub! The embelished sweater is my favorite! Hey, I have a new client! She needs a work wardrobe on the frugal side. Since I have serious thrift mojo, I'm on the lookout for her. Can't wait!! (Did not find ONE THING on my first trip, but that always happens.)
The shoes were NEW with tags, sometimes you need to draw the line somewhere. HOWEVER, my favorite find are the Timberland Fur Lined Boots

that were "pre-loved".

My husband thinks he's taking a picture of the bread I was making. I kept saying, "Make sure my shoes are in the picture!" Thank goodness he doesn't ask many questions!!

Earth Day

I started picking up Pyrex at my local G-dub because I'm trying to cut down on using plastics in my home. "Back in the day" we had glass containers in our refrigerator and yes I'm sure some things got broken but all in all it worked out fine.But who would have guessed that there is the Pyrex sub-culture out there! I had no idea that it was collectible and highly sought after. Ladies, just go to the G-dub, there is plenty to go around! (Just make sure that you elbow those people that stand in front of the bins coming out! I swear it is like World Wrestling Federation some days.) When did junk get so popular? When I picked these up, there was this nice lady in the front that saw me looking at the Pyrex, so she just kept handing them back to me. I got a ton more that day, but the second batch was in the dishwasher, and I haven't taken photos yet.
