Where I find the coolest vases…for cheap!

Where I find the coolest vases...for cheap!

I find the most amazing vases–at Homegoods or T.J. Maxx. But you do not find them among the vases, you find them with the oils with the sticks…forget what they call that. After the oil disappears, I rinse & then run the glass, the oil came in, in the dishwasher. You cannot find vases like this one. Stunning!

I whispered in her ear, that she is my best friend & that I had forgotten because we like to both sit in our art studios. But we got together to shop & eat and take pictures &it was the best day ever (as sponge bob says)

uh oh, I’m in a Soapbox mood

uh oh, I'm in a Soapbox mood

I dislike (hate) for sale signs, lease signs & rent signs. They are scarier then the Zombies I’ve seen walking around (everyone in Bham is suffering because the sun has not been sighted in weeks & we are all moldy). This week I saw a NEW STORE open in my neighborhood! How brave they are to open a brand new business. To open a store during these times. When most of us are unsure if our nails will break, crawling out of this whole we dug ourselves into. These people that opened the store, need us to stay open. All privately owned stores need us to spend a few bucks. All this has been said before. I feel so strongly about local economy, that it is almost (IS) a moral obligation to take care of our own first, before we hit Belks. There are some amazing boutiques around here that have very unique clothing. Chains carry 10 sweaters exactly the same. Boring. I have taken quite a few pictures of local businesses in hopes of drawing attention to them.

I’m mostly speaking to my Birmingham crowd. Everyone anywhere, please shop local first, because when you walk into a store, it may be the owner behind the cash register & that person is as brave as a lion. Buy something. Thanks, amy

At Elizabeth’s Antiques 4208 Dolly Ridge Road, Chahaba Heights, Al 35243.  205-977-3355 & econsignments@att.net  cool bean’s

Tea pot or a kissing fish pot?

Great gag gift, but you’d better where a helmet if you buy your wife one of these.

I think this was decoration, a large tissue flower in a corner

joy, joy, joy…does perfume go bad? Maybe the bottles are what people may want.

I think these are birthday dolls they used to make
They may still make them, but I’ve never seen one.

Two Blue Jays they had about 10 of those glass trays
I thought they were kinda neat

Little shoes, on one of those mirror trays

This was a beautiful blue serving dish
on a mirrored tray

i never fake grapes today, I should get these
for my fake fruit bowl

Hmmm food looks so yummy against a bright
yellow sign

Can you imagine have to wear these everywhere.
Why are these so clean?

My kids board out of their mind game they made up & played without fighting. They used lego men & H. Phone as the dice

My son was trying to build a heart in the surf for me.

Boys looking for frogs, or fish or anything that will gross out their sisters.
