our week of thrifty 'finds'

My blog is a week old this evening and I'm still very much in a learning phase.  I hope to get a lot quicker at navigating my way around & learn how to do some of the clever things I see on other blogs (like links).  I'd like to say a big thank you to my little group of followers, for following me at all and for your lovely comments!  :-)

Thank you

 

We usually go garage/yard sale-ing on Saturday mornings, today was one of the rare occasions we didn't.  Our fur-baby, Kora, has a lump on her neck so it was off to see Dr Jonathon to get some cream to fix it.  She was such a good girl we took both pups to the doggy park for a big play on the way home.  By the time all that was done it was drizzling rain here in Adelaide & sale-ing in rain never seems to work out for us.
