Hope this is good enough for now!

This will be quick

Here's what I got today.  It's going to be a long, cold winter if this is all I get per each trip I make to esate sales.

Does anyone have the rest of this set?

EXTRA LARGE Shiny Brites.
Can't get enough of these.

Toodles,

Shiny Brite Mountain......

This is my Shiny Brite Mountain.  This is hardly even a dent in what I have, but it's a start.  Sorry all, I know I've promised pictures, but I've been down and out since Sunday morning with strep throat.  I'm just getting my voice back today.  Let's hope I can get some pictures soon. 

I am going to try to make it to an estate sale or 2 this weekend.  What is the earliest that a sale has ever given out numbers?  There's one that is giving them out at 6AM... and they're not even letting people in until 8AM.  Is that super early?  Or is it me?

Here's hoping for a good weekend for everyone!

8 Hours... Wasted?

I'm going to keep this short.  I know I ooh'ed and aww'ed about the auction I was going to today.  I showed up MEGA early to check out all of the stuff.  It was a large turnout, as expected.  I bid on MANY, MANY things.  I got outbid on MANY, MANY things.  I have never been to an auction where I couldn't buy ANYTHING.  Everything that I thought was amazing and that I could definitely sell, someone else thought the same thing... and they paid full blown retail prices... and sometimes way more than that.  I sat for 8 hours.  My arm was tired of bidding.  My ass sore from sitting.  I finally won 2 chippy old sleds and then I left.  I was so disheartened.  THANKS, MOM, FOR STICKING IT OUT WITH ME! :)

Is everyone else starting to experience the skyrocketing price phenomenon that happens when cold months arrive?  Please tell me I'm not the only one.

Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhh......

Unpacking Christmas Ornaments Until My Fingers Bleed...

I have been unpacking ornaments since Sunday, the day before Halloween.  It seems never-ending.  I know that I have to get rid of some though.  Pictures soon, my pretties.....  (Yes, still in the Halloween spirit.)

In other news, I'm pretty excited for the estate sale that I'm going to this weekend.  I'm going to try and show some pictures of items that I'm coveting.  Now, what I come home with is a completely different story.

in someone's booth.
