Thrifty Saturday

My best teaching friend and I went antique shopping yesterday. We had so much fun that I took my daughter to a few of my favorite thrift stores later in the day. Other than the fact that my friend is also a teacher, this post obviously has nothing to do with teaching.

Here are my treasures which cost a total of $17.50! I'm often accused of only wearing black, gray and brown... so the pink purchases are kind of crackin' me up. Guess I was feeling the love of Valentine's Day.


black dot purse = $1.50
striped purse = $1
Michigan State sweatshirt = $2
dress (with tags) = $3
jacket (with tags) = $4
pottery for my collection = $3
vintage quilt square placemat = $2
vintage Valentine (which I'm going to frame) = $1

I also bought an antique library table for my new house (which I'm hoping to have soon). Oops - pretty sure you are supposed to buy the house first. Oh well. I'll take a picture of that when it's in the new house (instead of the garage at the rental).

Coming soon...I'm working on a linky party and giveaway for the next few weeks.

I'm off to take my kids ice skating at an outdoor rink in our little town!  I should probably work on some lesson planning too. So hard when reading all of these teaching blogs is so much more fun. Happy Sunday!

    It's not easy to win a third consecutive state golf championship. Especially when the first two came at Class 2A and your school makes the jump to 3A the following season. But coach Scott Marcum's squad was up to the challenge, piling up 111.5 points to easily outdistance O'Dea (87.5).

    There were people like this in Bia yesterday too this is hope. There is hope in the fact that the free zone stickers announced by a right wing newspaper are already reported to the court. There is hope in support of local politicians. Lambson is the front runner for American Association Pitcher of the Year.

    So what's it with initials that make the exclusivity conscious gravitate to the trend? Says Sharada Rao, an entrepreneur based in Chennai, "It's a unique finishing touch to a luxury product. A monogram of your own name on a branded handbag shows you've arrived. It's a discreet way of announcing to the world that you see yourself as a brand (tags: Cheap Real Yeezys, Discount Jordan Shoes Wholesale, Cheap Yeezys).
