Is It Friday Yet?

by

I awoke to snow.
Then the rain came and melted it away…
Presently, sun is streaming in my window.
I expect it to last about 5 minutes.
I did a little thrifting yesterday after missing out on it from a few weeks of being ill.
And miss it I did!
I didn’t find what I was looking for…
BUT
Did not come home empty handed?
Of course not.
(What a shocker!)
I have a bunny collection and I try to treat myself to a new one each year if I find something I like.
I found this at Goodwill for $3.99 and it hopped right in my cart.
It’s a large piece, about a foot long.
 It may get spray painted a fun new shade.
I have not decided yet…
Any Opinions?
~Please Share~
I found a few silver plate pieces too.
A Reed & Barton lotus bowl.
And a baby cup.
With a wee duckling on it.

 This is the Reed & Barton
serving piece I found awhile back.
I used some silver polish on it and it
sparkled right up.

It’s scratched and worn.
Monogrammed too…
But, it drew me in.
My shopping zen was short lived.
Such is life… right?

My cat needed to visit the vet.
I will spare you the details.

Two hours later and
$150+ dollars poorer.

My cat looks like this;
{Utterly Miserable}

And miraculously
MINUS
the elaborate bandaging
that I primarily paid the $150+ for!

I discovered this a few minutes ago.
Frankly, I am dreading having to deal with it.
I spent several days “dealing”
(censored to keep the gross out – you’re welcome – trust me)
with the problem already and I am at my wits end.

So that is why I am wishing a few days away.
Which I know better then to do.

It’s days like this, that I swear I am going to take up drinking.
Hope your day is ROCKING! awesome.
Thanks for listening!!!!
{really}
PS-It’s been more then five minutes… and the sun is still out.
I’ll take that as a sign to suck-it-up.

    Awwww poor kitty!! I love it when cats look mad….not that I like them feeling bad, it’s just funny to me to see a cat with a mad face!! 🙂 They do it so well…dogs just can’t pull it off, you know??

    You did well thrifting!! I love bunnies, too!! And silver, actually!! 🙂 The bunnies would look good white, I think. They look like they have a sandy texture or something. I can’t wait to see what you do with them!! 🙂

    Cute little bunnies! I think they would look sweet painted. I know whatever you do to them, they’ll look great.

    If you decide to take up drinking, let me know, I might just want to join you! lol

    aaw, your cat is so pitiful! feel better, kitty! the cone of shame always sucks.
    and i love the bunnies! what about white with some glitter? doesn’t glitter make everything better? maybe it will make your day better, too.

    I remember when my dog Rex had to wear that collar when I was a kid! He looked so ashamed – the same look your cat is wearing!

    Great thrifting finds! You know I love old silver. That baby cup is fantastic.

    You found some great pieces, silver draws me in to. The bunnies will look great painted, white or aqua.

    Poor kitty, maybe you needed more shopping zen after.

    Hugs to you and the kitty,
    Debbie
