$1.99 - really??? Shudayra's journal

Today was grocery shopping day and we also managed to 'hit' the Value Village second-hand store.
Nothing exciting about that - except for I spent ONLY $1.99 for all this:


Initially I noticed the package of 4 colours of DMC Jewel Effects and promptly grabbed the bag off the shelf. It wasn't until I got it home that I realized what I thought was ordinary embroidery floss was really
Lavender & Lace needlepaints Egyptian 100% Cotton!!
I scored with that one!!

As promised, here are some photos of the pages in Shudayra's journal.

We've had rain and a break in the extreme heat - YES!!

  1. What a bargain! Now, why can't I find stuff that cheap and good at my value village. Of course, I never think to look for floss, but the jewelry is at least $3.99. LOL! BTW, Shudayra's journal is very special, as is the piece itself. Do you have a special place for it in your home? The mantlepiece, perhaps?

  7. What's this?! Nope. No way! You got to be pulling my whiskers! Or maybe Cosmos' whiskers! You certainly did get some kind of a good deal!!! I always like when "she" gets a good deal....means more $ for snacks for me! Ah, life is good, eh Cosmos?!

    Purrs!
