Devious kitty sofa cookie jar

Looking back through my photos, I found this gem. I'm using the cookie jar to contain all the cat treats. Through my online research, I found out there is a matching salt and pepper set.

Garage Sales!!! YAY!!

Today, I rode my bike around the surrounding neighborhood garage sales. First I visited the bigger houses south of 135th street and on my way home, I hit some north of 135th street. I had a lot more luck in the northern less ritzy sub-divisions. In the photo below you can see the catches of the day. Eight movie posters at $3 a poster. I just cannot wait until my husband gets home, he is going to flip!  A Vtech Touch and Teach Turtle $1. That was the best name they could come up with? A metal sign that says, "What part of meow don't you understand?! for $2. A quotation stamp, "Dreams are the touchstones of our characters." ~Thoreau $2. Made me stop and think, what are my dreams? Devoid of dreams right now, other than car and house. I need to work on some better dreams. Pink size 24 month pants from Sonoma for $1.50.
