So Grateful!

It's easy to be grateful when you have a GREAT day! I LOVED today!

Today I'm grateful for:

1. Flea Markets. We went to one today. I love them! I also love garage sales and thrift stores. I love the idea of an item having a history, and inviting that item into your home to continue on its journey. I think used items like furniture, jewelry, clothes, etc have more character and they're unique. The desk I'm typing on was found in an old house. Jim refinished it, and I LOVE it! Here's a photo:



Anywho. . . I went to the flea market thinking it would be nice to find a nice piece of vintage jewelry. There were several booths full of jewelry, but a lot of what I liked was way over my price range. Then I found a booth full of jewelry. It was totally disorganized and I had to dig through tangled jewelry, but the prices were right on! After digging for a few minutes, I finally decided on a nice necklace. I'll have to post a picture later.

2. I'm also grateful for coupons. After the flea market we made our way to Pojo's. It's kind of like a Chuck-E-Cheese type place. We've never been, and we had a coupon for pizza, drinks, tokens, and ride tickets all for $15.00. I think we would have spent somewhere around $30 to $40 without the coupon. HOORAY!

3. I'm grateful for going out of business sales. I'm sorry for the company that had to close down, but grateful for the thrifty deals. I hit up a local Rite Aid that's closing and everything was 50% off. PLUS they accepted coupons on top of that discount. Everything was pretty picked through, but I ended up with some VERY thrifty deals. I got 12 cartons of Mentos gum for .25 cents each. We're gum chewers around here, so I was pretty happy about that.

4. I'm grateful for a husband who makes me laugh everyday. Seriously, not a day goes by that he doesn't put a smile on my face.

5. I'm grateful for the internet. You know the reasons, it's so nice to have!

There you go!
