Day 2 of The ShoW and I WoN anoTheR GiVeaWAy..:)

Hello there and good evening... Day 2 started off soooo slowly..we didn't have any one show up till almost 11:30am and we were there at 8 am...but we visited and there was a garage sale across the street so we walked over and I found some wonderful baskets...and this gal was giving away some wonderful deals..;)
This basket is huge..I love it....
This was the deal of the day...I got a longaberger basket for are you ready..:) hold onto your seats..$5.00...not kidding you..and I believe it is retired too.;)
I got this black kitty for $2.50..
the stamps were free and the graters were a $1..so all the above baskets plus two more shown below all were $24.00...:) the longaberger alone right now on ebay is going for 64.00 or buy now for 80..might put it in my area for tomorrow to see it anyone snatches it up..not out anything.:)
I got these wonderful bamboo plates as a trade for a baby bib...going to paint them up and put my labels on them..
I got these 5 chair pads for free.;)
I also picked up these wonderful little flour sack bags..I got 2 green and 3 of the yellow..:)
here is where I put one of them..
here is where I put the yellow.;)
Okay the big basket is on the chaise with my blankets and 2 pillows.:)
I did a swap with my good pal Kimberly of my brown bag studio for a quilt and she sent me my quilt along with these cute little coasters..I love all the "fall" colors..she knows me so well.;)
Here is the beautiful quilt..I couldn't wait to open it up..so here it is.:) you can see the colors really well..
Here is the before....
and now the after..it just warmed up the place with these fall colors..I love Kimberly thank you so much for agreeing to do a swap..you are awesome..:)she does beautiful work and you must check out her etsy store.:) you won't be disapointed..:)
here are the other 2 baskets I got today..I didn't realize how dirty the big one was..
cleaned up nicely..I love the shape of it..
and here is where I put it for the time being..till we start burning wood again..
and this is where I put kitty..she is looking out the window..I love it...cause my kittys do it..:)
and look what I won today over at Michelle's bears!!! I couldn't believe it..this is Alice and she is soo cute..she will probably go on my bed..I got on my computer to check my emails after getting home from the show and there was an email telling me I had won...what a wonderful end to my day..I can't wait to get her..and I have met a wonderful new friend..stop by and say hi to Michelle and see the wonderful work she does..you won't be disappointed and today is her anniversary too..:)

Well I didn't do as well as yesterday..but every bit helps..so not complaining..I just gotta quit spending....have a wonderful rest of your evening..and thank you for stopping by and saying hi..I love hearing from you..;)have a great sunday..:)

  2. Oh My Gosh Sweetie...
    You hit the jackpot today. I would say that Lady Luck was smiling upon you. I love the baskets, and I would have bought the exact ones. They are just beautiful.

    Your kitty is SO cute. I can't wait to see what she looks like with your real kitties sitting beside her. If she had a little cat nip in her, they would really love her.

    What a win from Michelle. I love it. Precious win for sure.

    Have a great Sunday and I hope you get a little rest. Wining is exhausting you know. I love it.

    Country hugs sweetie...Sherry
