Not only do I have more room in my house now, I made a few pennies too. Just shy of the Powerball jackpot. ((giggle))
What a great weekend we had at our barn sale! Met so many nice folks from all over the place. One group of gals piled out of their vehicles as each tried to outrun the other to our tables yelling, "I saw it first!" Man, they were funny!
There was a guy who stopped by asking if I had any old dolls for sale. He then proceeded to brag tell us about the "tens of thousands of dollars" he's made buying and selling dolls. "Wow! That's awesome!" I responded.
I asked him if he sold any Izzy (Izannah Walker) dolls. He looked at me like a deer in headlights. He had absolutely no idea what I was talking about. Many of you out there know an Izzy doll is the mother lode of old dolls. I'd give an arm and a leg for one.
Hmmm... Maybe he was pulling our leg just a tad.
After he left my hubs says to me, "H*ll, even I know what an Izannah Walker doll is and I don't know diddly about dolls. I just remember you always yakking about wanting one."
I bet the guy made his tens of thousands on Little Kiddles.
Overall, we ended up with only a small box of stuff left over and a few pieces of furniture, so I can't complain.
Now... What to do with all my "millions" I made?!
Hey, if he can say tens of thousands, I can say millions.
;> )
Oh!! Just a reminder, my eBay listings end tonight!
Happy Sunday!
That's right! I'm talking to YOU!!
Remember this?
As I was digging around for stuff for our barn sale, I pulled out my old GE Power Sound Loudmouth 8 Track Tape Player. I wasn't surprised when I popped in a tape and the dang thing worked! That was back when they made things to last. Not like our throw away (made in China) society now.
Man, I sound like an old timer, don't I?
"Yeah and I had to walk to school.. For 20 miles.. In the snow.. Barefoot..."
**giggle**
It seems just like yesterday I was a kid flipping through the Sunday Family Weekly and there it was!! The Columbia House Club!! All those records and tapes for only a penny!! I'm pretty sure I heard angels sing.
But mama always said I couldn't join because I'd get stuck having to buy a lot of tapes for the regular price afterwards. She had to be wrong. They wouldn't do such a thing.
So I secretly marked the ones I wanted and filled out my name/address, scotch taped a shiny, copper Abe Lincoln to the form and joined.
Guess what? Mama was right. Needless to say, I did a lot of chores that summer.
But I was able to do them while boogying to KC and the Sunshine Band.
Oh, that's the way, uh-huh uh-huh, I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh.
Happy Monday!

I recently learned about Man Candles by Yankee Candle Company.
Is this a new concept?? Sorry, I don't get out much.
They have scents like:
"2x4" ~ The warm, unmistakable scent of freshly planed wood and sawdust evokes a sense of confidence and quality.
"Riding Mower" ~ Hot sun. Cool breeze. And the intensely summery scent of freshly cut grass.
Sawdust and mowed grass??? Oh my!!! Those are a few of my favorite smells, how awesome is that?! ♥
I am definitely going to check them out.
Hey! Maybe they'll come up with a WD-40 candle!
Oooh better yet, I could just dab a little behind my ears.

Have a great weekend!!
My thin brick samples! YaY!!
I tore into this box like a monkey on a cupcake.
Sorry! You're going to have to wait to see them.
**snicker**
But I'll keep you posted.

Nope. She shops online.
This little piggy stayed home,
Wrong. She attends a weekly Zumba class.
This little piggy had roast beef,
I don't think so. She prefers chicken.
This little piggy had none.
Don't let her fool you. She had some.
And this little piggy went "Wee wee wee" all the way home...
Make that all the way to YOUR home.
She's available on my Countryfolk Keepsakes selling site.
Happy Tuesday.

Happy Sunday.

Even after I swore I'd never do it again.
Yes, I'm going to have another barn sale in a few weeks.
When I went on my "simplifying tour" the beginning of January, I realized we have a lot of stuff and it's time to get rid of some of it.
But our last barn sale we had, left a bad taste in my mouth. Sure we sold lots of stuff but some people were down right rude. I thought to myself, "Get the heck off my land and be miserable somewhere else, for cripes sakes!" Man, some people should buy themselves an enema and loosen up. Life's too short to be that uptight.
Well anyway, I am now going through the house looking for "treasures" to get rid off. But I have such a hard time getting rid of those "treasures." It's the " But I may need that someday so I'll keep it" mentality.
My hubs knows how I am. He'll say, "What do you need that for? Just get rid of it."
Tsk.. Tsk..
If he's not careful, I will stuff him in the "free" box.

Happy Saturday!!
P.S.
No brick samples yet.
**boo**hiss**
I mentioned or shown photos of decorative brick.
Okay! Okay! You twisted my arm!
((hee-hee))
Click on the photos to enlarge them.
The stove is tucked in the old fireplace.
Love it!
Great accent wall.
I want to sleep here. I don't think the owners would mind, do you?
Maybe I should eat some porridge first.
I love this too. I guess I'm just a girly-girl at heart.
But... Is that a teddy bear... With antlers??!!...
Sigh. I'd better put my cheaters on.
Such a cozy space.
Bricks on the ceiling?? Dear Lord, please don't let my hubs see this.
Holy schnikes! That's a lot of bricks!
You could wear a brick pattern T-shirt and hide from your family. They'd never find you.
Hmmm... I wonder if the mailman will bring my brick samples today??
I will hide wait in near the bushes and tackle greet him when he arrives.
Happy Wednesday all!!
