Show and Tell Friday Swans again

I really like the lines of this one, and she is floating on her own little wave!
These two appear to have been made in the same mode or cast, but the pink one has a Made in Japan stamp on the bottom. Her head is a little wider than the white one.

I like them both.

Yikes, one week later.

Ok, see, it was going to be Memorial Day weekend, so I took Friday and Tuesday off and had a 5 day week-end, so I went to see my Mommy in Springfield, MO. And I didn't blog while I was gone, and now, all of a sudden it has been a week. How the heck did that happen?



I left here Friday morning and got to Moms by about 1:30 so we rushed out to lunch at some tea house she was checking out for one of her lunch groups. I had Chicken Salad and it was good. Then I made her take me by Springfield's single CVS so I could decide if it was worthwhile getting her started. Oh My Goodness. Oh My Goodness. Again. They have the largest drugstore in the Nation. Uh Huh. I am now very jealous. Here it was, the end of the month and they still had all the monthly deals fully stocked.

Denise and James came over to drop off Angel, their little black poodle, and we had dinner and I talked up CVS. I had bought 6 of the ALL YOU magazines with the free Adidas deoderant coupons, so they all would get to start off with $9.98 in ECB's. Off we went. James and Denise each did 3 purchases, because they were going to be gone the rest of the week-end, and Mom did 2, ending up with $9.38 ECB's.

We went back the next day and grew her ECB's to around $26 with about a $5 oop so she made over $12 and got all the stuff below. She is going back today to use some of her ECB's to buy a small travel hairdryer, because the one she has at home is too bulky. She is picking up Denise and they are going to spend all of James' ECB's and let his card go, and just keep Denise going. Good for her!

Angel was very well behaved for us, and slept with Mom at night. She knew this was a doggy bed, even if Gabriel thinks it is a toy box. She just scratched around until she had a spot big enough for her! Cute!

My Pinky Peach Swans- Show and Tell Friday

Most of these have no marks, but the 2nd from the bottom is identical in shape if not size to a McCoy swan. The big one in the back left would not have been a napkin holder, but I think the rest of them would have worked! Isn't it interesting how many representative shapes and poses there are for this particular bird?

Back on Ebay

I just listed 5 book auctions, after taking way too long a break. I do get burnt out on it, so all that has sold the last 3 weeks have been items out of my store, no auctions. Time to get back at it though. I have all the clothes on sale, 25% off. What ever doesn't sell by the end of the month is getting pulled and sent to the consignment shops. Wonder what they would think about this 70's baby? Flared legs and all. You can click on the image below to go to the auction.

Deal of the Week- CVS 5/18

This month at CVS the Tums QuikPak is on sale for $4.69 and gives back $4.69 in ECBS. In Sundays Newspaper, there was a coupon for $1 off, and a rebate form to get your money back.

Spend 3.69 plus tax, get $4.69 ECB and get a rebate of $4.69 for the cost of a .42 stamp. $5.27 profit.

The Almay eyeshadow in this week's ad is 6.99 and there was a $1 coupon in the paper, and you get back $5 ECB so it really only costs .99. Limit of 2.

You could buy the Tums and 2 Almay. 18.67 total, minus $3 off of 15, and$2 in coupons=$13.67 and get back $14.69 in ECB's and the rebate. Not too bad.

Yard sale- clothes

Ever since I was very young, my Mom and I have shopped yard sales and thrift shops. Once the weather gets warm enough the season starts and I am planning my attack . Getting up early to hit the ones that start at 7:00, before they get picked over, and now my friend Karen goes with me. I mostly concentrate on books which I read and then resell on Ebay, or just sell or trade on Bookmooch. Yesterday I bought some clothes for ME! Some embroidered hippy jeans, which were actually new with tags, but still said Hippy to me. I also got some coral waders, and they both fit perfectly. I love it when that happens. Maybe, if I can remember, I will document my yardsale finds with pictures and totals on Sunday afternoon. Thanks for joining me!

Here is a picture of Anna's Graduation party, I am in the black and red, next to the Ph. D., and her father is on the other side. He is already back in Russia, and I know she misses him.
