The daisy skirt goes to Mongolia

(Trying to be serious ... it's not really working)

Yesterday was my younger Brothers Birthday. I decided to wear this vintage daisy skirt.

I brought my camera to the Restaurant only to realize that I forgot my battery for the darn thing in the charger. Luckily I had my cell phone and got the pic below.

(My Brother and I)

(My plate of food)

We went to a Mongolian BBQ. It was absolutely delicious. I was so full near the end my Mr. had to help me finish my plate. *lol*

I found my Umbrella at The Salvation Army I paid $2.50 for it.

These daisy's grow in our yard every year. I love them they grow quite tall and have to be tied up to a stake.

As you can see they go perfect with my skirt.

*smile*

I just got this lamp from Salvation army for $10.00. It is a really funky wood and brass lamp. It has a cast iron base. Now there is one this missing..... and that would be some glass shades that go over those brass cut out cylinders. Even though the lamp looks cool without glass shades I will surely be on the lookout for some that will make it look even better.

I dunno what it is but I have taken a liking to this stuffed pig. I haven't bought it and will try and refrain myself. BUT THERE IS A BIG blanket inside the pig so it's making it rather hard for me.

*hehehhe*

HAPPY JULY 4TH to all my American Bloggie friends. I hope you are all having lovely BBQ'S AND FIREWORKS and whatever other fun stuff that goes along with your Holiday.

Glorious Garage Grabs Flamingo flamenco (Pic Heavy)

"Meet my two new friends"

Friday afternoon I was going through Garage sale ads and I seen one that had a (What will be sold list) On that list was 2 PiNk FlAmInGoS.

From that moment on I was determined to get these two. And obviously I did what I set out to do.

Sadly the nice lady did not know where their legs went. *Lucky* I have flamingo health insurance, and they shall soon be able to stand on their own two rods in the near future.

Now lets get the the rest of my sale finds of the day.

~*Chanel Bath Powder*~

Big round 8 oz 226g

The container is full and looks as though the original owner maybe only used it a couple times. "Ebay told me I done good!" I got this gem for $1 from the lady who also sold me the flamingos.

~*70's Groovy Hippo Candle*~
50 cents

~*Round wicker look purse*~

Anyone know anything about these? I found a few online some were listed as 70's others 80's. To me it looked older when I purchased it, but now I am not too sure.

~*Lipstick & Nail polish holder*~

Purchased from Flamingo lady *lol* "If only she knew.. what I call her..

Will be heading to my "Vanity area"

~*Home Garden Book*~

What a cute house that is! I love the yard!

~*Vintage Daisy Skirt*~

$1.50

Size: 16

(Too big for me.. But I looked it over very well before buying and thought it should be quite easy to make a few sizes smaller)

Has a cute metal zip. Also it had some tissue in the pocket.. (Uhggg..)

which had lipstick kisses on them.. I wonder if they were vintage kisses? LOL

REGARDLESS

I threw them away.. sorry.. But they were red!

~*CHRISTMAS IN JULY!!*~

These lights have bakelite plug ins.

FREE

~*Plastic umbrella cover with fringe*~

It's currently airing out.. previous owners must have had stuff stored for quite some time.. smells a little musty! It is draped over a modern smaller patio umbrella.. I hope to find a vintage one soon.

~*Green wood bead necklace*~

50 cents

~*King Leopard bed set*~

"Didn't have a price.. I was sort of thinking they would be pricey.. I almost didn't even bother asking. I thought the seller would at least say $10.00."

Finally I decided I may as well just find out..

She said: $2

BOY WAS I EXCITED!

*MrreeeeowwWWWWW*

~*Vintage fabric*~

~*Vintage Fabric*~

~*New never opened Tex Made flannel sheet*~

"This is something I have been wanting for A LONG TIME..."

I came across two last year for prices higher than I wanted to pay(One blue One Pink). I then came across a brown one with an okay price.. tested it at the store & it started SMOKING!!! My God.. The store stuck in that area for the rest of the time I was in there.

Today I found this gorgeous *GREEEEEN* beauty on sale for $5

plugged her in and she sounded like she as purring and heated up in seconds.

"YYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAY"

"Oh dear.. you caught me at a bad time.. *hehe*

I love the settings (Synthetic Wigs) (Natural Wigs) *lol*

I may start having to invest in some wigs... *wink*

~*1967 tea towel calendar*~

50 cents

~*Purple dress*~

75 cents

Surely will not fit my body. But Galaxie my mannequin should have no problem.. the scrawny broad!
So there you have it. That is what I picked up from other peoples yards and brought into my own.

Also today was the second day of wearing contacts. I got them in pretty quickly, they did not bother me at all for the 5 hrs I was supposed to keep them in. I got them out ummm alright.. I still need more practice. For some reason that is the harder part for me. *lol*

Hopefully you all are having a great weekend.
