Monday Musings

I hope everyone had an amazing weekend! I had a good time with my two boys. On Saturday, I got some good one on one with my oldest, who is 12, followed by some quality time at a flea market with my youngest, who is 11.

My oldest is a huge sports fanatic, mainly soccer. It is killing him right now because the weather is finally starting to warm up in freezing Ohio. The snow is melting, the soccer goal is up and he is stuck on the sidelines with a hip injury. He is miserable! We find out today if the cartilage is torn or if it is just simply inflamed. Prayers are appreciated, as a tear means surgery. :(

One of the highlights of the weekend, was hitting the first flea market of the year with my youngest! He is a lover of a good deal, just like his Momma! He is my Karate Kid, Padawan and I am his Mr. Miyagi, Yoda.

"Find good deals you must!"

"Deals on, wallet out. Deals on, wallet out."

Ahhhh....the joys of seeing him find an awesome deal! He was so excited to find a snowboard for his brother! Even though the snow is leaving us...Thank goodness!...we have to be ready for next year. Who can turn down a $3 snowboard? Not us!

I found some Pyrex, Fire King, and Glasbake. The Pyrex will look perfect for my Spring decor as it is a turquoise with brown speckled lid (which I don't think actually belongs to it, but looks nice). I also have a BIG pink bowl, but that is gonna need some lovin' before it can go up on the shelf!

The best find of the day was an entire box full of cross stitch patterns! There are easily over 200 patterns from designers such as, Lizzie Kate, Carriage House Samplings, Bent Creek, Goode Huswife, Hand to Work. Guess how much I paid for them? Seriously, you will never guess.

$10

Can you believe that?!?!

When I asked about how much the patterns were, the gentleman said that $0.25 a piece or 5 for a $1. I tried to even hold my excitement in at that price and then he threw out, "$10 for the whole box."

What?!? Did that just happen?!?

I don't think I have ever gotten my money out quicker than that moment! I may or may not have shrieked for joy!

It was a great weekend and I hope all of yours was just as great!
