what I did and didn't resist

 It was hard to resist this milk glass bowl,
 needle-worked reindeer piece
 (especially at THIS price),
 these pink flamingos and their tropical friends,
 inspirational plaque,
and ever-useful note cards...
so I didn't (resist them).
Christmas items were 50% off and picked over
at my favorite thrift store
when I stopped in on the way to visit my mother yesterday.
I DID resist them.
(It's always interesting to see what's new at the Bargain Box!)

      Great idea, Susan! Merry Christmas to YOU! (I need to get "over" to see you. Did you decorate your doll house? I didn't get to doing mine this year....)

    The milk glass bowl would be in my kitchen right now. The flamingo's would have given me a (free) chuckle but been left behind.

    Happy Holidays!

    Some great treasures you found! Some I could not pass up either! As to cookies, in the years I worked, I sometimes would have to BUY cookies for Christmas Eve. Time sometimes gets away from us!
