Dumbest Fortune EVER..Junk Bonanza Tiara!

Brad and I headed to his physical therapy appointment today..and as a treat we hit LeAnn Chin's on the way home. I had peking chicken, curry chicken (delicious, by the way!) and fried rice....he got some chicken entrees that he loved and the lamest fortune I've ever seen!

"it is better to have beans and bacon in peace than cakes and ale in fear"

You know what I say to that fortune? "Screw You, LeAnn Chin! You need to fire that copywriter!"

This is all in jest of course..but come on! Lame. Or D-O-M as my b/f/f used to spell "dumb" as a kid.


Same best friend and I hit the yearly Junk Bonanza here in Minnesota earlier this month. I have more pics to share, but here are a few I have on my computer.

I put this tiara on and she almost cried. We do this with one another when we think the other looks particularly cute in something. I always say to her "You are my biggest fan" and once in 2011 when I tried on a white shirt I asked "Are you crying right now? This isn't a wedding dress!"  But it was soo cute.

That is love, peeps.

I know,  I know. "Every girl needs a tiara" and all that, but at $70 I just wasn't sold!

I did buy a cool, old wooden box with cool dovetailing. I am keeping art supplies in it. Unfortunately, once I got it home, I realized it has that old and vintage smell that is ahhh..not so nice. I put some essential oils in the bottom of the box and let the wood soak it up. Seems a bit better. When in Rome...




This photo below can only be summed up by me as "Huh?"

I mean, it's sort of cute. But it wasn't cheap and I wonder "is this art?"  And I guess that's the point of some art, to get a dialogue started. It just made me think I could hit my garage, grab some of Brad's Seafoam containers or anthing else chemical laden, add a dollhead and an oil "thingy" (the name escapes me, but I've used one many times!) and sell it in my Etsy shop for $50.

BUT I DON'T WANT TO.

End of rant.

On our way out...it was incredibly hot inside at some points. So much so that we named one area "PO  Alley" for Pass Out Alley.  The vendors seemed cranky. I assume it was the heat. I caught the attention of an old man and while I'm no longer in my 20's OR 30's, I did want to say "Sir, I think you are old enough to be my dad."


More Bonanza pics soon..and possibly even a few of my best pal!

The weather is beautiful here and I've decided that my winter outfit is going to be: leggings, long sweaters and or tunics that are snug but comfy. Nothing boxy! And or course..cool boots. I'm going to buy a pair this weekend. Black or brown?!

Dollheads, Tiaras and Amore!
