This morning is pretty quiet. Baby Girl isn't here yet, the other two dumplings are in school and Ben is at the gym. I've managed to have a financial meltdown while balancing my checkbook and paying my bills, I've vacuumed and mopped (with my new favorite mop), I've blogged, I've done laundry and I have had lunch ~ all. by. myself.
So I thought I might take a little more time and share my finds, my "doings" and just things in general.
On Saturday I went anti-quing with Heidi Jane. We had a maa-vo-lus time. She hit the jack pot with the bargains. Her new name is Bargain Betty! I love it! I didn't hit the bargains, but I did manage to find a gem or two.
I've been looking to buy a juicer for a while now ~ this one came in at five dollars. Bargain Betty got hers for under four. Hm. Helena is already making lemonade. And . . . . the most adorable muffin pan I've ever seen! ! ! I walked around with it for a bit before I convinced me to buy it. I've never seen a glass one before.

I painted it white (barely) scuffed it with sand paper, rubbed on some glaze and then some poly. I like the way it turned out. The picture is a little hard to see, but it sure beats that nasty unfinished pine. I think for now I will put it in my laundry area. I need a place for diapers, wipes and hair doodles for the girls. This will work for now. Then we'll see where it moves to next!
And this morning, Goldilocks tried her hand a "arranging". I usually keep my apples in my white milk glass fruit bowl. But Goldilocks liked this better:
I think I will keep it for a while. I like that you can see thru it and see my lovely pink screwdriver!
Notice the "candle holder"? Well, it's actually a miniature pie plate I got from the gal that lived across the street from dad. Got two ~ love them!
Well, Be`be` Girl is here. Gotta run!
