A Surprisingly Thrifty Weekend

This weekend

we had errands to run

One was to go to petsmast

sooooo

I took a quick run into

Michaels

and found these cute cups for

$1 a piece

You can't tell it but they are

 abt 1/2 the size of reg teacups

I got this box last weekend

at the GW outlet for $2

A friend told us abt

this estate sale and we stopped

on our way home

All the craft magazines were free

I am always

looking for old crochet patterns 

so I came home with 50 magazines

I felt funny abt taking that many but

the lady running it asked

 me if I wanted more

of them There must've been 

over 300 magazines

I got this speller from 1901

I love that the young girl wrote in the front

I went to each pg hoping
to find something special
 written at the end
 but there wasn't

I wonder if these were her best friends?

Funny how she wrote her name in the back spine

I also got this dish for $2

This set is a kerosene lamp holder

and match box

I got for $15

I believe it'll go in my kitchen

 but may or may not stay black

I hadn't planned on

 finding anything 

so it was a surprise 

weekend for me
