It really was a.....

A big old squirrel dead in the pool and it was removed this morning while I was happily balancing spreadsheets. And the motor ran for a bout 3 hours, but it seems I need to do a backwash....Slowly but surely!

Now I won't be working on the pool or in the yard for that matter....Because we'll be getting up bright and early to go here....

Ok this is where I'm very disapointed because I was so sure I'd taken some pics while we dropped a car full of stuff earlier this week.... But alas.....I didn't

We will be heading west near Les Coteaux to a huge church basement sale then on to Ontario. We hope to push until Gananoque. We will be packing a lunch and refreshments... and we'll be sure to stop for plenty of coffee along the way (Thank God you're never too far away from a Tim Horton's here in Canada!)



We hope to find some of these...

and maybe one of these...

Wish us good luck!

Oh I'm wishing for some Pyrex too! Even a little something in Jadeite!

Church bazaar

Every year before Halloween the church near my house hosts its annual bazaar in the nearby school gym. I usually go there to purchase Phentex slippers (because they las forever!!!). Las year I found a small red refrigerator dish (sans lid ) for a quarter...So I was very hopeful for this year!

Well my optimism paid off! On your left is a picture of my loot.

4 Corelle saucers with Flamingo trim (for the kitties), 2 Glasbake custard cups, 1 Pink daisy 1 1/2 QT casserole with lid and a small McCoy violet planter for 2.50$. Imagine that!!!

It is a wonder I manage to find these treasures in a sea of people...It was soooo warm ( I was sweating from places a lady doesn't sweat from lol) and I was pushed and shoved and pulled in all directions. When I saw the casserole it was as is time stood still...there was silence and then I saw it, just standing there minding its own business....

Same with the McCoy. I just say to myself (aproaching the home decor table) wouldn't it be fun if I found a McCoy? Well ladida, I should play the lottery more often!!!

The pot just appeared before my eyes....I also managed to break 3 or 4 glasses with the lid of a Pyrex teapot (oops) they made me pick all the glass from the box (ouf!) but nobody was hurt!

I had a wonderful cupcake with white and turquoise icing (but I didn't manage to take a picture of it, I inhaled that cupcake...hihihi)

There was stuff for everyone and you could even have a hearty lunch for 3 dollars (sandwich, chips, soup, coffee and dessert).

After all that excitement I walked home with SO (significant other) while pulling my trusty buggy (just like in Brimfield Mass)....

I would like to give a shout out to my dad: Hi Dad! have a good day :)!!!

And to all my faithful readers (yes the 6 of you, lol) Till next time....Have a super day and Happy thrifting!
