Estate Sale finds

FINALLY...I found a couple Estate Sales this morning. yippee!! I haven't taken a picture of my dirty finds yet. I ended up in the shed with a couple of old guys & a few mice...yikes~! One of the old guys asked why would you want to be out here? I told him ya just never know what you'll find and smiled. He just shrugged his shoulders & went on digging. I think I'll go back Saturday morning when I'm not wearing a cream colored hoodie and trying to stay clean in a shed with 1/2 inch of dirt on everything's kind of tough. I didn't want to go back home to change cloths before getting my driver's license picture taken. Loving the yellow elephant planter. I kind of have a thing for animal planters.
2 little bells, a pitcher and a platter

Purple glass 3 pc. nursery rhyme dishes...too cute.


A wonderful silver tray, fish bowl, ribbed bowl, and 2 little glasses.
Hoping that everyone's had a wonderful day...until tomorrow.

Whippet Wednesday







Westminster...a celebration of the wonderful canine spirit, reflecting our emotional attachment to our dogs!


The last two nights the pooches & I watched America's Dog Show.

A whippet won the Hound group, so we had even more excitement about Tuesday's broadcast. The Best of the Best...America's top dog! It's amazing that the Westminster Dog Show predates the invention of the light bulb, the automobile, and a wonderful little thing, the zipper. The 134th...wow!

I've experienced the excitement of showing dogs. Zeke has even earned a point to his championship. He just really didn't like being in the show ring. To show at the world's largest dog show...I can't image. It's such an emotional rush...then I looked over at Zeke. He could hardly contain himself with the excitement. Just an FYI...I didn't put the pillows over him. He was curled up with his head resting on the pillow & must have decided to stretch out.

Doc on the other hand was watching with intense anticipation.



Congrats to "Sadie" the Scottish Terrier for winning it all!

All Moved...

Before

after

a few little cuties


and more


Whew...all done for now.
I'm glad I didn't take any new things out...wouldn't have had room. I marked down several, several things, so by next month, I'll be able to get my spring stuff out. Yippee!
I'm so sick of the cold & snow.
We're supposed to get more of the white stuff on Sunday...ugh!
Tomorrow I have a couple dogs to groom. Would much rather go to an auction, but I've got to make some money so I can spend money.

Cards, Beauty, and More

I got a few Valentines mailed yesterday.
I can't seem to get the side way photo right side up...sorry about that...a couple tag cards & a little girl holding flowers.



My step-daughter has started mailing cards to a few of her friends. Ya know 'the old fashion way' to keep in touch. I was in 'aah' about that. So I including a few cards in her package, along with some candy & an elephant magnet clip that I made. She loves elephants, so when I found the stamp...had to buy it.












This is Bitty. I've known this dog most of her life. When I worked at the pet hospital, her owner would do anything for her. I've assisted in so many surgeries on this little girl, it's amazing...she's amazing! She's like a cat with nine lives. So when her momma called, because her groomer skipped town, I was honored to groom her.
She was a perfect princess! She makes me grin...I just love this dog! Isn't she a cutie!


Well, I still haven't figured out how I'm going to do the give-away. However, I've been gathering a few things....
Maybe something to do with forty!! What the heck, maybe the 40th follower (I know, really going out there on that one)...maybe the 40th post...or just maybe in honor of
my 40th!
