Went to several thrift stores today, including Goodwill. Only found a handful of things, but still enjoyed myself. Got one nice old square frame. It has some kind of needlepoint picture in it, but I can't even tell what it's supposed to be. I know it's a landscape, but that's all I can tell of it. I only wanted it for the frame. LOL!
And see the little wooden cabinet? The door is broken off the hinges, but I don't need the door anyway. It has bent nails inside to hold keys. I don't need those either. I have plans for this and I think you willl be surprised when I am finished with it. More to come about that later. I will also remove that trim from the sides of it.
The abacus is for my little grandaughter. I also got her a Little Tykes shopping cart. She had a little shopping cart (from walmart, I think) and it didn't last no time before it broke. It was wobbly from day one, even though it was made of heavy gauge wire and welded together. She has asked for another one over and over, but I had not been able to find one. So when I saw this at Goodwill for $3.01, I grabbed it. I need to clean & sanitize it, and she won't even care that it's not new. Little Tykes makes great, long-lasting toys! She will love it!
I also went to see Daddy today. He was doing well. He had been cleaning out some of the lower cabinets in the kitchen. He is so hard-headed! He should have waited and let me do that! He had all sorts of things loaded on the diningroom table for me and my siblings to sort through and pick what we want. I got Mama's food processor and a deep fryer. I didn't need them, but he insisted I take something. I do want one of her old bundt pans, but we haven't gotten to that stuff yet. She loved to make bundt cakes and they were always so good!
I also did a little Easter shopping. I bought my grandaughter an adorable dress and a few more goodies to go in her Easter surprise. She will get a basket from the Easter Bunny, and when she gets here, she gets an Easter surprise package from us. We make sure she gets something special for each holiday. BUT......she knows the real meaning of Easter too. Fun is fun, and that's fine, but Easter is a very important holiday and we make sure that she knows this.
The weather here is very nice today, and supposed to be 80 degrees tomorrow! See, we only have spring for a short time and then, boom! The heat of summer comes and I dread that! Oh well, nothing we can do about it except try to endure it.
I guess I better get busy. I have been gone all day! Have a great weekend everybody!
