Went to a huge sale to benefit some local charities a few years ago, and over heard some vendors talking about how people were not buy. I wanted to say "no wonder - the prices are outrageous". But stayed quiet and left - without buying anything. I definitely need to change my routine. :/<br />Thanks for stopping by and nice comment. I accidentally deleted your comment - I am so sorry. I truly appreciate your visiting and leaving a note just to let me know you were here.

Look at all you discovered! The prices you mentioned on the birdcage and shutters are ridiculous. I have a beautiful, old, chippy window and mine was free! They were rehabbing an old house in my neighborhood and had this old window sitting by the garbage. Keep your eyes peeled as you drive through neighborhoods...or go to flea markets. Much better prices.Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08659968511488397366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434601505681405514.post-7603833965128124472013-06-18T06:39:35.136-07:002013-06-18T06:39:35.136-07:00Carol,it takes a couple of months before retiremen...Carol,it takes a couple of months before retirement finally sinks in, but you'll enjoy every minute, trust me.

So far that's been two art gallery openings, one wedding and a cool Belgian restaurant. <br /><br /><br /><br />Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10891846684740775290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434601505681405514.post-86292283427124003342013-06-18T04:13:37.918-07:002013-06-18T04:13:37.918-07:00OH CAROL!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you know that yesterday morning, as I was walking alone, I was talking to myself or maybe even praying.....but I thought about YOU? Your blog takes me back home. I love your posts, I understand the beach life, and there is just something about your photos that makes me think of my parents.<br /><br />I like your challenge of doing something out of the predictable schedule. It's actually really good for the mind! <br /><br />Wishing you an adventurous day!

I have to tell you something true and embarrassing. You may not have heard of Canton First Monday (flea market) which is here in Texas - it's actually 45 minutes from my house. There's a HUGE section of it where they sell every form of junk you can imagine. The thing is...I've never gone to that section before last time. I just discovered that is the place to buy the chippy doors and shutters. And anything else chippy you can imagine. I found a wealth of blue Ball jars, awesome cans, metal baskets, doors, shutters, windows, everything!! I can't wait to go back again because the prices were very reasonable.<br /><br />Good for you venturing out to new things too. We have always been pretty set in our ways but moving has definitely pushed us out of our comfort zones. It's fun trying new places and things.Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05728612514516285320noreply@blogger.com
