The Big Flea part 2

When I planned on going to the big flea I decided I wasn't going to buy anything.  I had been sorting and purging all week so I didn't want to have a relapse.  I didn't do too badly I think.
  Here are my junky treasures:

Loyalist Lady and Gentleman lamp.  $15.00  Best price $12.00.  Daughter #1 bargained for her first purchase and I was so impressed that I tried it too. ( I don't usually do that) Score!

My favourite aunt had a lamp like this and as a little girl I thought is was the utmost in Style.  It makes me feel good to look at it and remember my aunt.

I love transfer ware and this was a real score at $6.00.  I thought they would be nice at Thanksgiving.

I didn't argue the price on these.  I collect Meakin and they are dishwasher safe so this was a double score.

My hubby found this for me at $10.00.  Best price - $5.00!

I set it on a cocktail napkin so you can see how small it is.  I love glassware and milk pitchers so this was a triple score.

I love these soft little leather boots.  I don't know why, but I really wanted them.  $10.00 - best price $8.00.  Maybe I will display them with my dad's christening dress. (Yes, they wore dresses back then.)

See how teeny they are?

I probably would have bought more things except this old geezer kept following me around making me very nervous:

And this totally took away my appetite. VEGETARIANS LOOK AWAY NOW! (ff)

Somebody actually bought this thing!?

This Weekend I...

Watched this with hubby for date night:

My hubby has a crush on Sandy.

Met daughter #2 at Costco and spent too much money.

Had sleepover with #1's doggy Lucy:

Sweltered in the heat on Saturday.

Did not sleep at all Saturday night:

Sweltered in the heat again on Sunday.

Went to supper with #1 and her hubby Sunday evening:

They dressed for the weather.

A Dog's Life

Last weekend we hosted another puppy sleepover.  This time it was a different member of Sophie's progeny.  His name is Oreo.

He is the big bruiser that hubby is holding on the right.  The mother of all these rascals is Sophie.  Hubby has her on the left.  Daughter #2 is holding her dog Bmer on the left and our Emma on the right.  These dogs come from the three litters that Sophie had.  Do you notice how small mummy Sophie is?  She is tinier than all her babies.  How did this come to be?  How do doggy mummies lose all their extra puppy weight at birth?  It just fell off the minute those puppies arrived.  I submit that this is unfair animal kingdom behaviour.  Human mothers have a lifetime of child maintenance and deserve to be fat free and beautiful for all their sacrifice.

Moving on.  This was Oreo's first sleepover with us and his first visit in a very long time.  He was very sad the first night and sat by the door.  The next day he decided we were okay and picked me to follow around and be sooky with.  Then I found this was going on behind my back:

Oreo is the biggest sook you will ever meet.  When his mummy and daddy returned after four nights, he promptly turned his back on us and all our lovin's.  He was a happy boy!

This Weekend I...

Watched "Wall street" with my date.

Went grocery shopping with my husband. Very rare occurrence.

Had hot dogs and corn on the cob for supper on Saturday.

Watched "Proof".

Went to church.

Had sinus headache.

Made waffles with strawberries for supper. again

Watched Independence Day.

Total Eclipse of the Heart

Yesterday, Daughter #1 and I went to see this:

Upon looking around the theatre, my daughter kindly remarked, "Mum you are the oldest person here."  She is now out of the will.
