it is HOT!!!

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.


it seems like the dealers were very flexible in their prices and if i was more experienced in bargaining, i would've threw out offers. any tips for me?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!
