Fabulous Flea market finds...








So, some of the goodies I carted home on Sunday, besides the crystal glasses I mentioned in my last post were....




This very old and beautiful tri-fold mirror. It has a butter celluloid cover with a gorgeous woman, with roses and butterflies. When you unfold it, it is a 3 sided vanity mirror. Each mirror is in great shape, and they all have a nice bevel around them.















Cute FrenchGirl Pictures...the last couple of pictures I had sold like hotcakes!! This set is bigger so I am keeping my fingers crossed!




















I did not pay $15 for this, unfortunately. The seller wanted $250 for it...and as lovely as it was, I wasn't going to pay that.

(come'on dude, it's a SWAPMEET, not Nordstrum for Pete's sake!)


I walked away, but came back later and begged. We haggled and finally she was mine.



This I am keeping....no Etsy for her. LOL

Better!!!!



Went to see Mickie tonight and she is actually looking really good! Boy did she want to come HOME. I elected to leave her for tonight, since they will monitor her all through the night, and I will go get her tomorrow am. That way I have all day to watch her.



I'm so happy.... she a tough little doggie, that's for sure!~




And wasn't she an adorable puppy?


Here she is biting Eric's pant leg! LOL










The other pic is last Thanksgiving, Mickie climbing into the dishwasher..lol




















** Monday Update**

Mickie came home this morning...Here's the little patient in her "hospital crate"... how do you like the high-tech coke bottle oxygen delivery system?




I went to the swap Sunday am...I felt guilty, but I needed the distraction.

(that's what I tell myself anyway)

And of course, it was amazing what I found! I cannot believe what I get there some days!




I will post pix soon. But to wet your appetite, a set of my favorite crystal glasses...4 ...these things cost $60 EACH in the stores, I got 4 for ......

$15!






And the seller thinks he has more, and promised them to me! Wowza!~

And just WAIT till I post the picture of the amazing table top 3 fold antique mirror...it will take your breath away!

Not So Merry...


Christmas Day, lots of food, some drink, a few presents, and a trip to animal emergency for my little old Mamma doggie Mickie.

A harried night...but today she is doing somewhat better. She's still in the hospital unfortunately, but she is looking like she might recover...so I might get a happy Christmas ending after all. I'm praying for her, and for me. I visited her today and have to wait till 10:00pm to talk to the doctor again.

I pity anyone who loves their animals as much as I love mine.
There's lots of joy having pets. And lots of grief when you lose one.
