The following is a picture of what I like to call my washboard wall. This whole wall including the mirrors was $5. I paid a buck for each of the mirrors which were a horrible orange (but black paint makes the world a better place) and $3 for the 2 small washboards. The big one is actually the washboard my grandma washed my moms clothes on. Pretty cool huh? If you happen upon an unwanted washboard please send it my way!

Yard Sales and Bunco
As of today, when one enters my home, they will encounter this in the entryway...
Isn't she a beauty? I bought her today for...wait for it...wait for it...10 bucks!! So the table and everything on it cost me a total of 20 bucks!! Is that awesome or what? All yard sale purchases.

This wall was $4.98...thats what I paid for the 2 gold plates and the red sign was a bunco win made by one of the ladies in the bunco group.
This, too was also a bunco win made by the same lady!! It sets on one side of my piano and brings me much happiness. I do not know yet what will go there when the 4th of July has come and gone but I'm sure I'll think of something.
On the other side of my piano sits my most treasured purchase of the day...Vogues book of Etiquette. I paid a whoppin 25 cents for it and I can't get enough of it!! This book was purchased new by the lady I bought it from about 50 or 60 years ago. It was printed in 1948 and is full of helpful hints for men and women on etiquette. Quite interesting!! I plan never to part with this little treasure!! Look at the binding!! So worn and old...I love it!!
And here is a sampling of what you will find inside of her. Click on the picture to be able to read the excerpt.

Who?
Mom, Aunt Julia and I went to Wal-Mart today. While there, mom said she needed a new lampshade as hers was ripped in the move SO we strolled on over to that section. As we looked and commented on of the available shades I thought to myself "hmmm, $13.97...not bad!!" Especially because they had some really cute ones. Then mom says, "wow $13.97, that's kinda high. I think I'll shop around". and my aunt agreed with her..."yeah, that is a little high, let's keep looking for a better deal". "shop around?!?" I said. "Who has cheaper lampshades than Wal-Mart?" To which they both replied, "well you never know". So my question to you is Who has cheaper lampshades than Wal-Mart? Not used.
