I'm Free!!

That is, the kids are away for the weekend. Which means I'm free to run wild in the second hand stores! Considering I was drinking last night at a friends house I feel pretty great. The sun is shining and I'm only $16. poorer than I was this morning. And I'm satisfied.

It's strange how finding great thrift store deals can give me so much gratification. Some days I'm just not into it, but today was not one of those days. My eyes darted around the store looking for treasures and I think I came out with some good ones. I'll share a couple of them.

I found these Matryoshka dolls for 99 cents a piece. Assuming they were sets of nesting dolls, I opened them and was disappointed to see they were empty. But then i noticed holes on the tops.....thats right!!
So cute!

That was my favorite find for the day. But i also found 2 of these little stone birds.
A hideous handbag that I'm going to keep my "work-in-progress" embroidery projects in.
And this hard shell Impala suitcase that I have big plans for. I think I'm going to give it a little makeover. Maybe something like this, or this, or maybe this.
That's it for today! I hope your Saturday was sunny too.
