5/3 Monday...always means a trip to the thrift store for "half-off" day.


Yep, got all four smokey 'martini-gonna-be-ice cream" stems for $2...(i didn't take the picture until Tuesday)100_5678


and....I got these pretty little place mats and napkins for $.50,...fifty cents, yes, two quarters.

5/4, Tuesday...making GREAT headway with all the announcements and running ahead of our schedule. 100_5710


5/4, WEDNESDAY...DD's car had to have some regular maintenance...and, it became MORE than regular maintenance; so the dealership paid for me to drive home in this adorable 2010 Civic (had a marvelously-working air conditioner)...DD wanted me to trade hers in for this one!100_5717


While I was so close to the OTHER thrift store, after dropping off DD's car I couldn't help but stop and see what they might have that I might NEED. This beauty is replacing my poor bag that was dry rotting...it is full leather...$12, hee hee hee...yep, it makes me happy! 100_5723


...and then when I went back to get DD's car on 5/6, THURSDAY...the same store called my name again!


Go figure. This time I got some great 'serving pieces' and decorative 'romanesque'- type stuff to go along with our 'italian/old Rome' open house graduation party...I'm beginning to visualize what my tables, food and decorations are going to be like that day.

I absolutely LOVE asparagus, and there will be roasted garlic asparagus in this little platter that will reside next to the 'pork tenderloin' bites.100_5734


5/8, SATURDAY...This little guy was scampering back and forth across my front-door porch. He stop every so often to eat a few bites.

He's visited many times before...he's almost becoming a celebrity on my blog. We'll have to name him. Hope you had a great week and I am eager to see all of your pictures, too!
