Thrift store treasures

Recently, at the thrift stores........

Love my little Unicorn family! They have a really high gloss shine to them, somewhat iridescent, so pretty!

Love their sweet little faces!

Some new books!

This looks like a fun book! I loved watching the old Gidget movies with Sandra Dee and later Deborah Walley and Cindy Carol. (Gidget Goes Hawaiian, Gidget goes to Rome). In Gidget Grows Up, Karen Valentine plays the part of Gidget. I also loved the t/v series starring Sally Field as Gidget. I read somewhere that this year is the 60th anniversary of Gidget, hard to believe it's been that long....

I have read one of her books called "The Dollhouse" and it was good.

I found this children's author this past year or so, and LOVE HER BOOKS! The stories are good and the illustrations are so sweet! I will enjoy these with fairy granddaughter.

another one by Cynthia:

I got a whole stack of paperback novels!! They look to be historical romance, set in the Southern 1800s and maybe Reconstruction period, so I will probably like them.

I've never read Lydia Lancaster, but quite a few of these books are by her, so I will give her a try!

I have read quite a few Alexandra Ripley novels, matter of fact, I think I might've read this one....but I like reading about New Orleans in that era, so I will read it again to see.

a pretty golden peacock!!

a purple long sleeve blouse with pretty embroidery on the bodice

and a pretty pink sweater!
Have you found any treasures lately?

It's so fun shopping for treasures, yes I found some couple weeks ago when I went to visit my sister in the Kansas City Mo area. I love staffordshire dogs and found couple. Love that purple color you have. I need to get reading material also for our hard winter predicted

Oh how I loved Gidget! The movies were so cute! How neat to find the book and the others look good too. I went to the Hospice thrift store this morning to make a donation. (I've been a good girl cleaning out! heehee) I bought a little deer but I gave it away already. I found a neat chilren's book at the library for sale so I am happy with that. Wish we could read it together...and look at the pictures! Hugs!

Hi Debbi, you certainly found some treasures. I haven't been 'treasure' hunting in a long, long time. In this small apartment I don't need anything else but if I found something to my liking... who knows!!

Gidget! Oh, I loved those movies and the books, too. I must have seen Gidget Goes Hawaiian a dozen times when I was a kid. What a nice memory!

Tonight's Micromoon--we watched it rise over the Battery tonight, it was red and orange

Skywatchers in Central, Mountain and Pacific time zones will get a view of the full moon tonight (Sept. 13) at 11:32 p.m., 10:32 p.m. and 9:32 p.m., respectively, while East Coasters will see the moon at its fullest at 12:32 a.m. on the 14th. Regardless of time zone, the moon will appear just a bit dimmer than usual (eerie!), because it will be at apogee, or its farthest distance from Earth. That means that the moon will appear about 14% smaller and 30% dimmer than when it is at its closest point to Earth, which is known as perigee. (Livescience.com)

LETS END KILLER WHALE CAPTIVITY!!

Please research the captive killer orcas that the SEAWORLD franchise holds captive. It is animal cruelty at it's worst. Those killer whales need to be FREE, NOT HELD CAPTIVE BY us humans and forced to do 'tricks' for our amusement. (and to make SEAWORLD a lot of money. ) Please go watch BLACKFISH when y'all have time okay? also read "Killer at Seaworld". You will learn so much and I doubt if you ever pay entrance fees to enter SEAWORLD or any of it's affiliate parks again.........because you will learn what the money really goes for........PROFIT. Their profit...........the poor whales gain nothing. But life captivity. Sad lonely lives in bathtub size enclosures where they cant even interact with their own pods and offspring normally. Many of them are so sick and die very painful deaths.The 'breeding' program is a joke. They are not even allowed to procreate in a natural and normal manner. The whales that were caught in the wild were taken from their pods and their mothers in a very cruel and inhumane fashion---it is heartbreaking. It's awful sad. Please research and then let me know what you think, okay? Whales are magnificent creatures, I love them. I tell everybody it's okay to love them and to want to go see them......but please go to areas where you can view them in the wild either from the beaches or cliffs or from boats. Not from cement swimming pools where they are mis-treated, gawked at, and forced to 'perform'. God created them and intended for them to exist in the seas! They really need to remain free........................
