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!!
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?
ReplyDeleteLove it when there's good deals out there. What a find you made.

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?!
