Long time no post

This is going to be a quick little post to see if I remember how to do this!

I went out sailing all alone this morning and spent all of $6.50.  Here's what I got:

Two more champagne glasses (to add to my eclectic collection of garage sale champagne flutes...they actually look quite pretty when they're all mixed together for a special occasion);
and a nice, hefty, perfect-sized coffee mug with an adorable cafe logo & windmill.

A little cookbook holder made from a silver spoon & fork (and yeah...that's a garage sale William Sonoma potato cookbook sitting open);

A pink sock monkey Beanie Baby whose name is Socks and whose birthday is February 16, 2011, so ya know...just a toddler.  This one will have to wait until next year to join its ilk in my classroom basket of Beanie Baby rewards.  You can't introduce new ones at this point in the year, when more than half my class have already earned one;
And last, but not least, in fact representing $5 of the $6.50 total is this awesome pink and orange seahorse beach bag.  I have sort of a thing for seahorses which may stem from my daughter's performance in a ballet called "Ocean" when she was about eight years old.  Yup.  She was a seahorse. 
Hoping to find more treasures to post very soon.  Spring is coming! Enjoy, everyone!
