Well before I move on my daily events.
I was ask on yesterday post on our SOCIAL SECURITY if it was public or private.
What I was posting is our public one.
Our private ones are now usual a 401-K or IRA When I was younger I can recall people
who work and part of there benefit package was a retirement plan
usual though there union.
But at this time in our history unions
are pretty much non existent.
Went shopping with my friend Quenella,
locally. She and her late husband Micheal usual found ½ doz children
who need some one to play Santa.
So we went around Bonners Ferry to pick
up a few items. We went to all three thrift stores. I've bought brand
new items out of thrift stores.
She collect BLUE WILLOW plates. So we went up to the Three
Mile Antique mall. She found a plate there. They have collection of
vintage fabric. I found two piece of ½ yard of Complementary colors,
fabrics that I can use in my next locker hook trivet.
I was worried that the fabric only came
in large quantities. So both together a yard cost me $6.30.
Been cutting more strips for my rag
rug.
The one I'm crochet for the family
white elephant gift exchange. At this point I'm liking it better then
the first two I did.
Simple reason I like how the color
format or lay out is.
Coffee is on
Color can make or break some craft projects. Nice that you've found some that work well!
ReplyDeleteI like Blue Willow plates, but when I had a full dinner set of Blue Willow, I got tired of seeing them everyday.
ReplyDeleteNow I have six plates, all the same, and I've been using them for over ten years and I'm still not tired of them. I still love the pattern and colours.

ReplyDeleteBeen away this week, trying to catch up!!! - I like to blog because it gives the chance to meet folk from all over the world and learn more about their home territory. I generally avoid the 'money-focus' blogs with promos and adverts and stuff. there's plenty choice.
I doubt very much I will have enough to see me through to the end; will probably have to sell the flat and buy a caravan (trailer) and become a gypsy...
One day at a time though. YAM xx
Glad you found some good things.
ReplyDeletei'm in love with a pepper shaker that i bought at the salvation army thrift store. it was $2, which is expensive for the salvation army, but now i don't have to worry about grabbing the salt shaker by mistake.
