I always said I was always broke, thus making me cheap, thus hitting all the thrift/garage/flea markets for good bargins. I now know, for certain sure, I would still shop this way if I had tons of money! I love it. I love the prices, the bargins...the thrill of the hunt. <BR/>You came home with some darling things...Happy Hunting, bjAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884914321755768425.post-67796471571240602312007-10-09T16:04:00.000-04:002007-10-09T16:04:00.000-04:00Me either, Mary!

I love all the items you picked up. And I have to say Kudos to you for remembering to BRING the camera! I took the weekend off, went antiquing, etc and FORGOT the camera the first day. Whined about it all day long!<BR/>Hugs,<BR/>PennyPenny from Enjoying The Simple Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01480355122441712250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884914321755768425.post-84299399441435782982007-10-08T16:40:00.000-04:002007-10-08T16:40:00.000-04:00Woo hoo!

I used to be a shop-a-holic. But now all I do is blog. I shop to blog. I eat to blog. I build a house to blog. I raise children to have something to blog about. The world has turned upside down.

LOL There is absolutely no way my DH can go around saying I spend too much money. Thank you for your so nice comment on my blog. I did skip right on over to RMS and left a comment on one of your photos. What a gorgeous home you have and decorated with all those gorgeous family pieces. And I loved reading your blog so please may I add you to my "take me away" blog list? Well...it is now noon and I have sat here all morning reading blogs, etc. so now it's time to get off my bumper and list some new items on my website. I hope you'll come back to visit me. ~ Lynn P.S.
