Cindy and I took a couple “creative breaks" from scrapbooking last weekend (translation: we ran away to yard sales and thrift stores). I tossed all my treasures into her car and she later handed me one mystery bag to take home. Unpacking it, I was like, “Oh right, I did buy this!” Highlights include a $1 tablecloth whose owner had to talk herself into parting with the eight matching napkins (another whole dollar. She drove a hard bargain). Fredbird was also $1 and will now guard one of the kids’ beds. I scored some vacation books and dresses for Jamaica, nail polish, a necklace, a 99¢ Johnston & Murphy shirt (practically grand larceny), and two puzzles, one even brand new!
Almost forgot about these! We went to one yard sale where a woman had a beautiful bed of (what was left) of zinnias. She said we could pick some of the dead flower heads to take home and plant. She said they come up every year and she does nothing to tend to them, but zinnias are annuals. I know that much.
For some reason I remembered I bought this but didn't find it in my bag Cindy packed. I checked my car and it was wedged under my front seat. Oopsie.
