Thank you to WC Fields for that inspirational heading.
Today I went to a real honest to goodness Barn Sale in Lakeside in support of the Riverpark Conservancy. What a lot of stuff. Did manage to buy some prizes for the prize box, a couple of copper colored aluminum measuring cups to match my ancient one, a handful of ceramics for the garden totem project, supplies for school mother's day gifts, a roll of chartreuse paper for a bulletin board, and a wire basket with wire hands attached which I will use for a work completion basket at school.
Also went to the world's creepiest jewelry/repair place, also in Lakeside. Filthy, cluttered, very odd people, crowded with scary old clocks and dries flower petals in an odd assortment of containers, as well as some dried-UP arrangements left sitting. Two out of three people inside had poor dental hygiene in the form of missing teeth. I got batteries for the two defunct Mickey Mouse watches and high-tailed it out of there.
At home I completed my first garden totem and placed it in the yard ... greens with a tiny teapot on top. I want to complete more but despite all the pieces I've collected I'm still missing some connecting pieces.
