What My Weekend Really Was

Hi guys, Hanna here.  Well I will tell you what my weekend wasn't.  It wasn't going to Seattle with my husband and using the Kenny Chesney tickets I won on the radio in January.  And it wasn't Farm Chicks with Sister, which I wasn't attending because of the concert.  Nope, this is what my weekend really was.

No that is not a racing horse.  That is Piper after 4 of us held her down at the vet for over an hour.  Her favorite puppy sitter took her to play hockey on a tennis court.  Not sure why or how because she has done this with him before, but this time she tore off not 1, but all 4 of her paw pads.  I got home from work and she wouldn't come out of her kennel.  I carried her in the house and when I started investigating.  It was bad.  We canceled our trip, headed to the vet, and now this pup will have antibiotics, pain killers, and wrapped paws for at least 2 weeks.  Poor thing.  I did get to do a few things this weekend in the thrifting world though, so here are my finds.

 I found this wrapping paper and stationary at a very stinky estate sale.  The smell was torture, but it was worth it.

At another estate sale I found these vintage Mikasa plates.  I ended up with 8 of them.  This is exactly the type of pattern I've been looking for.  For a whopping $1.50, these had to come home with me.

 This is the tiniest deer I've ever found.  I actually picked him up at a Goodwill when I made a run to the valley this week.  I found some other goodies, but they are for Erica and Maddie's b-days, so no sharing, sorry!

My little friend feels right at home with his other buddies.

So the same sale I got the plates there was a retro dinette set.  I loved it, but it was $50 (which I still thought was really reasonable.)  The lady running the sale saw me admiring it and told me she could do $25.  I told her I would go talk to my husband.  Of course he said no.  The reality is, I don't need it.  I told him I thought I could re-sell it.  Still, no.  I stewed all day and finally when he was distracted watching hockey I drove back.  She gave it to me for $20.  The husband says it has to be out in a week.  I set it up in my driveway and read a book at it and drank wine.  My neighbors must have thought I was nuts.  I was just wishing I could be with Erica at Farm Chicks and now he was going to make me give up my new dinette!?!  I listed it online today, I hope there isn't any interest.  I think it was meant for me.

Isn't the canary yellow awesome?  We will see what happens, but I have a feeling it may stay with me.

Lastly, I got to go to an antique store in my area that is never open when I drive by.  It is called Yankee Trader and is on hwy 101 between Seaside and Gearhart.  I was so excited to go inside and so happy I did.  The prices were awesome, the set up was amazing, and I got 2 new things.

When I picked these shakers up my husband immediately told me they were creepy and to put them back.  I didn't.  They sit in my living room at the perfect angle that they look at him if he is watching TV.  I think they are awesome.

The Pyrex green dot-squares.  I've eyed this beauty for a long time online, but have never seen it in person.  I paid $12, which I didn't think was too bad. 

So, my weekend was not what I expected but I found some cool stuff, got to hang out with the husband, and take care of my pup.  I can't complain. 

 I'm headed over to Sir-Thrift-a-Lots's Thriftasaurus.  Lets send some love his way, his pup is in worse shape then mine.

Until Next Time!
