Treasure Hunting

Like everybody else in the world -- I work hard at making myself happy. Every day of the week has it's own joyful thing happening. Take Saturday, for example... If you know me -- you know that SATURDAY IS THE DAY I GO JUNKING WITH BERT. As unbelievable as it sounds -- we find treasure EVERY SATURDAY. But my idea of treasure is probably different than YOUR idea of treasure. I thought it would be fun to show you the loot from just ONE typical Saturday....

Hey -- Care Bears are back!!  20 years ago, I made one for 8-year old Sarah Sawyer after she broke her arm.  On Saturday, I found the perfect Care Bear for her baby boy!! 

A mini-reindeer made out of a baby sock!!  TOO CUTE...

And a fabulous plastic train case for all Lillian's jewelry!!

An aluminum rolling pin??  It's a little bit smaller than my regular rolling pin -- and I think Lilly is going to love it!

Okay -- time to bunch some treasure together...little sunglasses, and a variety of small boxes which Lilly will love...

And some books on tape, and a napkin holder, and a few patriotic t-shirts, and Profet sandals...HEY -- THAT'S A JELLO MOLD!! 

Even though I gave all my Jello molds to the Goodwill store ten years ago -- and I haven't actually MADE a molded Jello salad since ten years before that -- I'm thinking how much fun it will be for Lillian...right?? I mean -- surely you can see what perfect sense this makes...

Little William needs the fabric book that goes with his Care Bear...

Two orange aprons...I LOVE 'EM.  And I can hardly wait to turn them into a Mommy/daughter matching set!!  Emily and Lilly are going to LOVE 'EM...

So -- that's it. Well, most of it...As it turns out, I've saved the best for tomorrow!!
