Stop! It's Thrifty Time


On Saturday, when I was meant to be packing more stuff away and tidying our abode, I snuck off to a flea market as only true flea marketing warriors would do. Warrior? Why warrior? Well my husband was grumpy, but due to the fact I was grumpier, I won and escaped the throes of house chores and ran away for 1/2 hour to join the thrifty circus.

I gave myself a budget of $10. And I stuck to it.

In amongst some other stuff I scored, I got these three pretty plates to add to my collection.

And those bromeliads? I bought a bunch of those for 10 tiny dollars too. Ok so I went over budget. But not by much. Just double or nothing folks, double or nothing!

How was your weekend? Anything to report?

Come join me on Facebook too. I set up a Facebook page today. It's fresh and precious.

The face page linky thing didn't work on my computer?!
Love the flowers, they always make me feel better I think. The plates are super sweet.

i did an illegal u-turn followed by a dodgy park to "just duck in" to a church fete only to find there was a measly two tables set up. Not happy Jan. I did however score a smelly version of Sing a song of Sixpence (for a buck) which Ms Five is addicted to.

I love the plate at the very top. Gorgeous!
