Bright Shiny Things!

I had a great day today.  Just hanging out with Mr. Biff.  We ran a bunch

of errands and then, on the way home, stopped at our favourite recycle

depot/thrift store - "Skip City".  Today, for a measly 5 bucks - I hit a veritable

jackpot of mercury glass!  Check these out:

The blue reflection in the mercury glass is "me" in my

new blue sundress! Please ignore the doorknob - not exactly

a well-staged photo!

The apothecary jar is over 12" tall - it's gorgeous! 

Bonus - in the bottom of the apothecary jar!

There was a young girl looking at these two pieces but I mentally

willed her to put them down - which she did because as she said to her

mom "there's yucky stuff inside"!   So I admit, I did pick them up gingerly

only to discover that the "yucky stuff" was melted candle wax!

I also got this funky shirt I am going to use as a seat cover on a chair and a

huge chunk of this fabric, along with the vintage frame.....yes, all for FIVE

dollars.....can I get a "hell yeah!"

Mr. Biff brought home this lovely little chair the other day too.  I have the

perfect little desk/table to go with it.  They'll make a great set for a little

girl's or boy's room - depending on the colour I choose!

I've got a few other cool things to show you but I don't want to get you

over-excited so we will pace ourselves.......stay tuned!
