these are pictures from bryan's 2nd private swim lesson last friday. but i can jump in the pool right now! it is HOT here! and mixed with humidity....it's a sweaty, sticky mess here! i am sitting 3 feet away from a fan and i'm still hot! LOL
he's still a little hesitant about jumping in. we'll get there :)
this is at the end of his lesson where his teacher 'dunks' him. he knows exactly what's going to happen and starts to refuse and points his finger up & says no to all of us! of course he cried a little bit but stops when he gets his prize--- a lollipop! look at that pout!
and look at our hot tub.....some kids thought it might be funny to pour bubbles in there the night before. not so much! makes a big mess when the jet is on. just makes more & more bubbles.
my silly boys!
sunday after breakfast, we stopped by an outdoor antique flea market. i loved it! lots to see and buy! i'll have more pictures from my phone but here's what i got.the lady was asking for $3 for all 6 of these molds. i handed her a $10 but she couldn't make change for it. so hubby dug in his pocket and only had $2. she gave them to me for $2 :)
i'll have to do more research on jello molds but thses were too pretty to pass. there's a "B" etched on the bottom of the word, Jell-O. i wonder if the homemaker shared her molds with other housewives and had to etch her initial to make sure she got her molds back! i love thinking of who once owned all these vintage treasures!
here is the other set of 3. i don't think i'll use these for jello but maybe to put my crafty things in.
and, i finally got an antique flower frog! it's a good size and i got it for $6. it was marked at $6.50 but the lady said she'll give it to me for $6.

and, this is what i use the flower frog for----to display my cards and to photograph them on.
this was a quick card made out of miscellaneous scraps of paper i had on my work area. TFL! have a great day!

LOVE your vintage finds...those molds are GREAT...you can store crafty schtuff in them like buttons etc...I LOVE your flower frog...the color is magnificent....you should go garage sale'ing with my momma...she's always trying to strike a 'deal' with people...it can be somewhat embarrassing..especially when the price is already low...that's when she get the "Mom!!!!" from me:)
