A Really Good Deal

Because I had the car today, I was able to attend one of the free 2 hour open house sessions at our local scrapbooking and card making supply store.

Not owning one of those fancy cutting and embossing machines [ie: Cuttlebug, Big Shot, Sizzix, etc], I took along some paper and experimented with some dies they had and embossed some card stock.  I also created a couple of beautiful flowers, each with a totally different look but both with the identical big flower punch.

Afterward, I popped into our very small local thrift shop and browsed a bit for some interesting, clear glass containers to hold buttons and such on my card making desk . . .

As you can see in the photo, I found MORE than a few :o)

The whole box of 23 pieces of gorgeous stemware cost me $2.50 and I only wanted the 5 small ones at the front!!!  That's what I call a very good deal :o)

Dear Ladies,

I had a wonderful day and finding this little assortment of stemware for such a low price was so neat :o)

Blessings to each of you as you continue the moments of your week!

What a great find, that is like 10 cents a piece. And they are quite beautiful. I love mixing and matching glasses on my table and it looks like you could have some fun with these.
