$5.00 + 3 little boys = Hours of fun and laughter

These Snack Sets or  Shower Dishes were the rage when I was a girl. I collect them and use them for showers at my home. I found 3 sets today in excellent condition. I love that they are still in their original boxes. Does anyone remember the  years when they were produced by the Anchor Hocking Glass Corporation? 

I love to go to Garage Sales. I often don't buy a thing, but it is fun to see one person's junk which might be another person's treasure. My kids and I enjoyed going to  Garage Sales when they were  at home.  Jeremy and I  searched forever   for a certain street--if only we had had GPS back then.   This morning I found lots of good "junk". $1.00 It wasn't priced so when I asked the teenager running the sale how much it was, she said $2.00. When I set it back down, she said, "Oh, yeah, that is $1.00." I picked it back up. Twister spinners are good for lots of things--I can't think of them at the moment, but I'm sure for $1.00 it will come back to me. Fun videos for $1.00 each. $1.50 for the stack. The little guys and I will find something to do with them. My favorite--Tupperware glasses and scoops.  I never have enough of these scoops and the glasses are great to shake up your flour and water to m...

WARNING: This post is long and photo intensive! Have you ever heard the term "brand loyal"? One of the brands I am loyal to is Sherwin Williams Paint. It could be because my brother has worked for them for over 30 years; it could be because they have the best paint; or it could be both. I found the perfect colors for the grandchildren room at another store..... and when I took the chips to Sherwin Williams, they were able to match them for me. I then bought 12 Spice Racks from IKEA. I should say, my sweet husband stopped by IKEA on the way home from Denver's Airport and bought them for me. These IKEA spice racks turned book racks have been all over blogland and they were out when we tried to buy them several other times. This is what they look like hanging on the wall with the beautiful primary color paint on them. The top book rack is being used for my grandmother's vintage teddy bears. The first time Caleb was here after the bears were displayed, he took them ou...

I'm not sure why, but Colorado Springs is a GREAT place to yard sale. Mandy, Jeremy, and kids were out this morning enjoying the beautiful weather and some sales. Mandy kept seeing things that she thought I would like and texting me pictures. Three red bar stools! I passed since I have a red bar stool that I am not using right now and probably don't need 3 more in storage. A retro ice cream freezer! I really liked this, but wasn't sure where I would display it, so again I passed. She called about some bunk beds for the grandchildren's room. They were what I am looking for with a full size mattress on the bottom and a twin on the top, but they were metal and I'm really looking for wood. Again, I passed. I have a very smart daughter-in-law who was determined that she find something that I was willing to buy. The picture below was the last I received from the morning's shopping trip. The text message said: "Want one of these? $100 million each My Reply: ...
