I went on the hunt for a cool chair/stool for Chris to practice his guitar on, but no luck. I did however find a heart shaped wire basket to add to my collection & a pair of sweet white leather saddle-style shoes for Penelope for $2. Aren't these adorable? They're in practically unworn condition, too. I think Penelope will look mighty cute with her pomegranate dress, pink tights & these shoes. ALSO, I think when Felix gets big enough, they'd look mighty cute on him with a little seersucker suit. Don't you agree? These shoes are leather with leather soles. I've got to be careful that Penelope doesn't wear them when it's too wet or icy outside. I imagine with her coordination & zeal for being outside she'd slip & fall on her face. Have you found any great deals lately? Share, share! I've got another one: a few weeks ago Chris broke the glass pitcher to our blender, so we decided it was time to replace the thing (Sadly it would've cost more to replace the pitcher than get a new one). We scored! We watched America's test kitchen to see what blenders they recommended & found our new Kitchenaid blender on Amazon for $60 less than list price. PLUS, since we have Amazon prime, we got free 2 day shipping. SCORE! Now that is how you buy a blender. I want every little excuse to use it. Do you have any good smoothie suggestions that call for spinach? Please share. ALSO, I just have to give a shout out to Laura & Abby for sharing their sweet deals with me last week. Laura scored a solid Teak buffet for $35. SERIOUSLY. How amazing is that?!? Abby found a set of playmobil characters + car for 99¢. I love those old school toys!
