need to lobby for my hobbies....

hi all....the coffee is trying to work, so hang in there with me bloggers. i should be a fogger and not a blogger. i can fog all day...lol.
the wind is insane outside!! i remember texas now. oh yes....the state of wind and i don't mean gas. i mean the wind that blows down your pretty garden displays and messes up your hair. the wind that blows open your car door so hard, it blows all the pretty goodwill linens on your car seat into the parking lot. the wind that blows down all the cute orange porch ghosts into the middle of the highway. that is the state of wind in central texas. she is angry...this wind. what does she need? i don't have any trees for her, but i can give her some wind chimes and heavy garden statues. other than that, i guess i'll live with her wrath and hope she doesn't blow away any of my pretty garden plates. i can take the messy hair, but i don't want to lose a plate! howl!
so...i have to admit i haven't shopped a HOBBY LOBBY in over 3 years. hard to believe, i know...but it is true. i thought maybe i would forget how to navigate thru cute silk flowers and rows of hobby paint, so i took the plunge and went face first. when did HL get so expensive? it is hard to figure what is half price and what isn't. if you aren't careful, you will get a cart full of last week's 1/2 merchandise and have to put it all back. ugh. anyway....i bought a bunch of dresser pulls on sale for less than $2 and used them on our school work dresser. i spelled the word junk and just used random glass knobs for the rest.
i bought a bunch of other stuff i didn't need of course and now i need to lobby my spending. this is why i thrift!!!! i hardly ever go over $40 when i thrift and usually i keep it to around $20 and walk away with a bunch of stuff!!! oh well...sometimes ya gotta splurge and eat mac and cheese to make up the difference. i must admit....i blew the craft budget.
oh....and a hobby lobby find for $6 (1/2 price after the cashier told me they weren't and i SHOWED her the sign. then she tells me it is last week's sign. and??? it was still up!!!) i bought 2 and now don't know where to put them in my house. see....if they were only $1 a piece, i wouldn't stress so much. i'll figure it out though....right after i recover from the shock of retail prices!
but.....i DID NOT blow the craft budget with these cute hats!!! 50 cents each!!!! so sweet and hand made by someone that had way too many fake pearls and purple fabric flowers!!! these are cute!
and dresses galore!! look at the fabric on this!! so sweet!!!! all booth bound!!!
50 cent dotty purse that is just adorable!!!

how wonderful is this top?? only $1.25. so sweet. mac and cheese costs more than this shirt!!!!
that is all. just random blah, blah, blah. nothing important...no theme really. just that thrifting is so worth it when it comes to finding bargains!!! i love junking...hands down...for unique, cheap stuff. no need to lobby for that hobby.
now if only i could lobby for the wind to stop!!!
thanks for stopping by and hope you all are having fun thrifting at whatever lil haunt you love the most!!!
take care
lol
