When life gives you lemons....And the winner is.....

What do you do? Sometimes you have a bad day….you must deal with unpleasentness (your mother's will) and it’s not going to good at your job(i.e you’re making mistakes like a diner dishes out blue plates specials!)


So you go out for a walk and see this....

OMG a new to me thrift shop! a stone throw away from my new job!

How cool is that? Pyrex dinnerware in Flamingo with the gold band! Too bad I'm not collecting this one (I collect the one WITHOUT the gold band). It was 7$ for the lot....hum if they're still there next week....
Actually I just got a super kitschy book  Treasury of Christmas ideas by Better Homes & Garden. It's tackylicious!

And you think thank you Thrifting Gods, thank you for making me feel sunny inside!!!
 
 Without further delay the winner's name....The draw was made courtesy of random.org.

Here we go!

The winner is comment no 25! Annalene congratulations! I'm sending an email your way with your prize!

Have a great night everyone! :)

Don't forget my CSN giveaway!

Still having a tough time on the 'I have a job now' adjustments!!! Besides the tights incident last week, the wardrobe thing is going great. I feel I need to inject more color into it. The office I work at is without color. Everyone dresses in grey and black, what up people?

Where is the color?
 Yesterday we stopped @ Maxi & Cie (Canada's Superstore) and I innocently said: Let's go check out the clothes....We both got super cute trench coats, sweaters and jeans. The damage? less than 100$ for everything! I really like Joe Fresh clothes, affordable and stylish!

We are so tired all the time, it's crazy! We have been putting off cleaning the house since I began work! That is crazy! There's soooooo much cat hair I could collect it and knit ugly stuff i could sell on Etsy and maybe I would be featured on Regretsy!

Did I ever mention I LOVE Regretsy? This is a laugh out loud web site. Who knew there was so many tacky,ugly and tasteless things on Etsy? And I learned a new word! Steampunk. Check it out!

I also wanted to share this restaurant sign I caught in Cornwall, Ont last week. Again just what is canadian cuisine? I'm baffled.

A reminder to enter my 45$ CSN giveaway, it ends on the 22nd. Click right HERE to enter!

  Good luck to all! My cats are not promising a hairball draw, but they are working on it! Hang in there! :)

Let's get this SHOW on the road before it's too late for Retro Tuesday!

I had a weird day...not bad just weird. It all started around 6 am when I was getting dressed. I pulled on a pair of black tights and SURPRISE! They were low rise ??? I had a huge amount of muffin top action going on! This is going to look soooo wrong with the skirt!

I tried another one and there was a HUGE hole in the crotch, might be a propos for triple X movies but not for the insureance biz. Last pair I put on was PERFECT! Good let's get down to business and get to work. I took a gander at my outfit...black and white polka dot shirt (very cute), black skirt and NAVY TIGHTS! I should have given me an idea of the day!

now on to more urgent matters! Retro Tuesday! So today the subject is BUN WARMERS!

To be more precise my BUN WARMER! I am pleased to announce that all our buns shall be warmed from now on!

I like to do some fact finding before I post for Retro Tuesday, this time I found nothing on the Cornwall Corporation from Boston Mass, zilch,nada,sprouten,bouten.

It work, i plugged it in. It's brand new, come on look at that cord! Never been unrolled. The box says avocado, but with the flash...looks sage green.

Don't these people look happy and fulfilled? It's because their buns are toasty warm and crusty; because the lid is vented! I wish my lid was vented!

                                     How chic! Warm rolls and perfect lives...                        

Turns out you can use it for much more than warm buns! Ideal for baked potatoes, spaghetti, rice dishes, vegetables, stews,popcorn,french bread, rolls and muffins, toast,

fried chicken,chops and hamburgers. See? it's good for everything! No more soggy rolls!

If you have any info on this piece of pure joy (just looking at the box makes me smile!) please comment or write!

Happy Retro Tuesday everyone!

I didn't do much over the weekend because I suffer from a BAAAAAD shoulder. I can barely move my right arm and since it's my main one....Nothing got done! Thank god for Dan who helped me get dressed and took care of me.

2 highlights : I got my CSN shopping done (hint: bathroom decor and something pink) and yesterday I put my arm in a sling and was able to go to my dance lesson. Mind you I couldn't do all the dances, but I was there and that's what's important! After all the Xmas party is in a couple of weeks and I want to be ready!

I hope to regain my smile soon!

In the meantime I'll hang with warm kitties!

This is the view from the river banks, all dreamlike.

And I took the opportunity to read; my lateat? Twilight. Yes, yes it's about time I read it. I didn't much care for the films but so far I really like the book. Stephanie Meyer writes really well and the book sucked me in in a matter of pages! 

Gotta get ready! I have a chiropractor appointment later this morning....
