On Thursday Kelli came and watched the childcare kiddos and I ran to town for a doctor’s appointment. It was a 6 month blood sugar test that got me to the doctor’s office. It was no surprise, it went up slightly….not good for a diabetic but I readily admitted that I really didn’t think much about myself and eating over the last 6 months. It wasn’t high enough to change my meds but I did get a warning that should it go up in 3 months, I’d likely need meds. I was fine with that and completely understood.
From there is was to the vet and to the post office. Between these places and the doctor’s office, there was a lot of condolences and hashing over what happened with Kramer. It’s all okay and needs to be done, but after it all I was ready for a breather….So what does that mean?? If you know me, that means a thrift store run. I had debated about just going home but I didn’t and I’m so glad I didn’t.
As I walked into the store the first thing that got me was this wonderful old mirror. Sorry about the picture. It’s laying in the seat of the truck. It’s big, beveled glass and for $5 a steal. I got a sold sign for it right away.
Then I found the desk chair…$5…and the buffet was $25. I was so happy. I had seen one at the same store a month ago and thought to buy it but it was $100. this one is VERY similar to the other. I have no idea on why the big fluctuation in price. I’m thinking this might end up being my entertainment center. Kramer wasn’t much for vintage farmhouse. I am a little more inclined that way but not overboard. I’m thinking this might get painted…I don’t know. I couldn’t leave it there for $25 as I’m sure I can sell if for more than double that.
You’ll have to stay tuned with what I do with those pieces.
Then I found all of this too….
Totalled…everything was $58. I think it was a good deal all things considered. My blow dryer quit on me that very morning and I wrote on my list to pick up a new one at Wal-Mart. I ended up getting this $3 one at the thrift store. It was the same kind as my old one. I was thrilled.
Ah-ha! I even found fabric…See?? Continue reading
