Junkin' ~

I have not been junkin' in a month or so. GAH!!! I have been trying to get my house in order and cleaned out.  And the heat has been so bad, I just haven't felt like it.  Well, tonight I had to get out of the house and do something normal.  My normal is stopping in at the new Goodwill to see if the stock has improved. It hasn't.  Their prices started out normal, but now they are a little high (ok, a lot high).  Take a look at this:

Cute, right? But not for $25.  There was another one of these with a badly cracked glass dome and that was $25 also. Crazy!

This was $25 too. I don't think it was $25 new. 

I liked this coffee table, but it was $50!

This chafing dish was $50 too. I don't get it...

I am all for supporting charities and I certainly buy enough from Goodwill and Salvation Army,

but I have a hard time with them over pricing certain items.

So, on to the next place. I went to a consignment store that I've only been to one other time.  They were closing so I only had about 10 minutes to run through this huge place.  I found something good too...

Don't you love it?

This was sitting on the top shelf and this is all you could see of the item. 

This was underneath all that fake silk.  An ironstone ginger jar minus the lid.  I love it though.

I love the little birds on it.

I couldn't even read the label while I was in the store. I couldn't peal back the price tag to check it out, it was too sticky.  But for $4 I took a chance and bought it.  I think I did pretty well.

Anyone want to buy a glob of silk junk? Yeah, it's already in the garbage...

That's all I got. Must be a record. Only 1 thing.  I then went to Michael's and roamed around for a while. I hadn't been there in 6 months or so.  I usually spend too much money when I go there, so I try to stay away. I love all the crafty supplies. It's like the start of school and you get to buy all new supplies. That's how I feel when I go there. I want to buy everything cool and interesting even if I don't have a use for it. I MIGHT use it one day.

Then I met a good friend for dinner at Ruby Tuesday's. I made her get out of her pj's and meet me there and it was pouring down rain too!  Dinner then lasted 3 hours!

Good Times.
