Monday moneysavers

I have disappeared again, haven’t I? 24 hours doesn’t seem to cut it. My mom left. School started, the kids have their weekly practices(their school does a big show once a year)

Estates sales have been slow in my area. There was one last week and the week before.i bought this globe last week. In fantastic condition, stands about 3 feet tall.

This vintage Le Creuset au gratin bowl was found week before last. I took my mom to her first ever estate sale. She thought it was strange to go through one’s kitchen cabinets.

My 2nd outdoor Buddha. He has a crack along the back of his forehead so he is going to hang in the church patio. Weighed a ton.

I also found more Lego. The ones in the box are from the 70s made in Denmark, they are hidden from the kids. I gave them the huge box of loose ones.

These have some star wars stuff. They have been playing with it for a while. Paid $8 for the box.
A small box at the Lego store costs $10.

    Phew good thing you are back! Just kidding, your twitter updates help keep us in the loop.

    Those Au Gratin’s are sweet, of course, but I have no idea what to bake in them. I like the rectangular bakers better instead, I think.

    Wow, those are some incredible finds! I have never been to an estate sale before, but I will definitely go now that I know goodies like Le Creuset and Buddha are found there…

    Yippeee …yay…you are back.

    My mom says it’s bad luck to keep broken idols at home…just wanted to let you know that.
