Thrift Shop Joy!

Sooo very happy to find this!

THGGM bought me the Grandmother's book on the right for my birthday. I had pointed it out to him in a book store, and he remembered that I said I wanted it. And, I LOOOVE it.

I was a teensy bit upset that he bought it at the book store, but he assured me that he used his discount card AND had a coupon.

I found the "Moms" book at a thrift store this week. For a dollar.

The pictures are oh so very charming. I've been thumbing through both of these books this afternoon. Such a pleasant thing to do!

Seriously. We are all about babies over here.

To House My Money

One of my happy finds on Saturday was this! Is it a bird house? Is it a bank? Isn't it cute? I LOVE the colors!

And it says on the bottom that it was made in Czechoslovakia, so I'm sure it is authentic, as I know no one who could spell that if they didn't have to.

A Collection!

Yes. I have three, and three equals a collection!

The one on the left was my baby spoon. The other two were found this week. All of them are Gerber baby spoons.

We are awaiting the birth of our fourth grandchild, and I have babies on my mind!

The Stuff She Bought Along the Way

Well, what do you know? As surprising as this may seem, I managed to find a few things that pleased my eye yesterday.

Babies on My Mind

Sooo happy to find these at the thrift store last week. I used to have one of these. Mine was a souvenir received after a tour of the Gerber Baby Food plant in Fremont, MI.

There isn't much from the tour that I can recall, except that it smelled awful. Like green beans.

But I DO remember a lovely candy store in downtown Fremont - where I bought a bag of sea foam.

Hmm. This was in the sixth grade. What one remembers from childhood sure says a lot!

So Much Fun

This purchase was made a few months ago. I put it away in the game closet and forgot about it. Friday I brought it out and had Jonge set about to see if all of the pieces were present and accounted for. They were! We did not play the 'game' but he did use the cards to create some amazing things! I'm hoping he realizes that I like playing with game pieces more than I like playing games.

Seriously, the boy played with this the entire afternoon. All this fun for $2.00.

Tah Dah!
