Foxy's Ponderings: Garage Sale FINDS

Welcome!

Thank you for taking your time to check on me and my world.

Not sure I will keep this header...I tried to think of something cute ... Foxy tends to lead people in a certain direction that I don't want them to go...so we will see.

My grandmother used to introduce me to people as her Foxy grandaughter. I would wait expecting, hoping that she would explain but to my horror she always ... left me hangin'. We would glance uncomfortably at each other and the strangers that I just met would kindly smile but you could see the awkward confussion on their faces ... I then would say, "Fox, is my last name." and we would all giggle and have a moment of clarity ... and relief.

Garage Sale FINDS

You know what they say..."One mans junk is another mans treasure." I am not a big shopper but I love garage sales. Yes, usually there is a ton of junk that needs to be just tossed but often there is at least something for someone and I decided I would share a few of the treasures I have found this past year. Look at my chicken...I am not too into farm animals but when I saw this $2 egg poacher I could not resist. It even hard boils eggs and all you have to clean is this little dish afterwards. If I was crazy I might make a pedestal for it - that is how much I love it. OK, I am kidding but you know what I mean. AND it even chirps when the eggs are done!

And who couldn't love this little cutie and for .25 cents too. Yup, you heard me .25 cents. He's just so cute I want snuggle up on the couch and hold him.

Look at these jars... they are my most expensive find at $12 for all 3. They are large, and the original older canning jars. I have no idea what I am gonna do with them but when I saw them I thought how COOL. Any suggestions?

And last but not least my $3 FOLDING chair. I have been needing extra chairs and it beats the cold metal ones. Plus, it matches the colors in my house perfectly. How could I resist.
