Big Date


Last Wednesday, mom stayed with the girls so Mr. Incredible and I could have a date day. We ended up in a long string of thrift stores, second hand shops, and hole in the wall diners. It was a GREAT day... Mr. I. Spotted the silver bowl there for me in a Goodwill for $5. It was really tarnished, but he polished it up for me, and now my peaches look positively classy in it! At the same store we found this coffee table for $15. It is working hard already in our basement family room...


I fell in love with it's carved legs and little swivel casters. The casters MADE the deal. I flirted shamelessly with Mr. I. to get it.


THEN I found this round table cloth for $1.50. I've got about a million ideas where to put it...


Then, at our local Goodwill (where we shopped FAST as they were closing early to do the floors) I found this little carrot print, which goes with the other 3 I found last month on 1/2 price day. I love these prints.


AND for $1 I picked up this nicely framed white board, which got pressed right into service Thursday at the Farmer's Market.


I also found a cute little Camp tin sign (I'll share a pic once I hang it) at a little store Sherrie told me to go in last year. Yes, I LOVED the Curly Willow. I will be going back, guaranteed. I LOVE that Mr. I & I (??) can have a great day doing something like thrift shore shopping. It's what we used to do on dates, and it's still working for us 10 years later.
