Here's something funny! Boo got stuck behing the dryer. This morning I heard a clatter on the other end of the house, but didn't pay much attention to it. I assumed the cats were playing around, but ten minutes later I heard an even louder and longer clatter. I got up and found Suey and Oreo hanging around the washer and dryer. This is what I saw.
Poor Boo! I had to move the dryer out a little and he finally go out on his own.
I had a adventurous weekend with my mom and got lots of good junk. She even got to show her rear end at one sale. It was our first sale Saturday morning and it was way out of the way. We walk in and see dealer type antiques and hobby lobby decor. Not only that, half of the stuff had a NFS sticker on it (can't they take the time to put stuff up?). Obviously this was not a true estate sale and rather it was a dealer trying to get rid of his stuff. To make matters worse the prices were outrageous. Just when we had just about made it through the tiny house, the person working the sale says that everything is half price unless you are a dealer. Well that just rubbed mom the wrong way. She mouths of that "there was no reason for her being there," and storms off. Maybe even stepping on his foot. I'm following close behind laughing all the way. Her temper flares very rarely but when it does, as long as you're not the one it targets, it's hilarious.

Here's some of my goodies!
I also found a box full of vintage cards and letters. The letters were fabulous. They are correspondence between a husband and wife during the 50s and 60s. Apparently the husband had to work out-of-town often and for long periods of time. The were like love letters, telling how much they loved each other and how much they couldn't wait to see each other. How sweet!
LOVING the vintage cards, what a great find!
ReplyDeleteAwwwww. Our poor, little Boo Kitty. Bet he was miffed at you for not rescuing him sooner and then taking the time to take a humiliating picture before releasing him.
ReplyDeleteLooks like some great finds! I usually show my rear end to those fake estate sales too. I always figure there's no need to spend any of my money there, there's always another sale down the road with better prices!
ReplyDeleteHa! I can just picture your Mom letting them know how she felt! Love those flamingos -love anything that makes me think of Florida and warm weather!
ReplyDeleteAw, poor boy. Yes, we can see how well he got out "on his own"--after you moved the dryer. But you have to let him think he did it on his own, don't you? ;) Cats are funny creatures, I say as one is trying to lie across my arms while I type.
ReplyDeleteVintage cards--be still my heart! And the letters between husband and wife would have me swooning. I love that kind of history!
What fun finds! I love treasure hunting :)
ReplyDeleteLove those cards, so cute. It's awesome to find old stock of them and use them! I love the Boo pic. What is it with Marmalade cats? My Georgie is mischievous too.
