Junction Trip

Oh my goodness I was terribly disappointed today when we stopped at our local McDonald's and found out that they did not have my favorite Smoothie. What a let down :(

But we did stop in Junction at Dairy Queen and got our Blizzards.. yum yum.. for the drive home.

We had a few sprinkles of rain today and cooler temperatures, which was nice. We went to the new Hobby Lobby store in Junction. Wow it is huge. We didn't even see half the store before we had to leave, Braydon and I got mesmerized by all the beads and jewelry findings. Not to mention all the clearance items. We will be back soon.

We stopped at Tuesday Morning and got some great deals on beads and things. We went to the Good Will Store and our last stop was at the Antique Mall. It was a good day for the both of us.

Vintage Jewlery Findings

Saturday my grand daughter Christine and I went to our local Salvation Army shop.
As you might guess I frequent this place often, but I actually had not been to the shop for a few weeks.
Have you ever noticed that you always seem to find things that you really do not need , but then you justify your purchase by reason of charity....blah blah blah. You know what I am talking about!
Well it just so happens that I am into making jewelry ( amongst many other things ) and I was wishing that I had the old style bracelets.
You guessed it...that's exactly what I found and for a really good price plus 25% off.
The jewelry cement is no good and the key chain,tie clip and one necklace are tarnished, but the
bracelets ( there are 2 ) are in perfect condition. I am so excited for this coming weekend so
that I can put something together. Oh ya maybe I will use the India glass beads ( made in India )
that I also purchased for 99 cents. There are 84g. in the unopened package and there are several different styles of beads and blue colors.
I will keep you posted on my progress in the jewlery making buisness.
