Dollar Deals and Menu Mondays
Hello All,
I hope your had a great weekend. I was trying to stay dry with all the rain we got over the weekend. The sooth my raining day blues I decided to venture out and do a bit of thrifting. I was so excited when I found this piece. I just fell in love with I saw it. You won't believe what I paid for it. It was marked for $15 but once I got to the register. The cashier information that the special promotion tag for that day was the same as the tag on my wonderful piece. So my grand total was $1 dollar. Woo Hoo!!!! Man, was I excited!! I will be putting her in my office. I added the tiara.
Great Find of only $1 dollar
Okay, I haven't forgotten about Menu Mondays. I just wanted to update you on a few things. Remember to see a few new designs on PFATT Marketplace on March 10th as well as on my blog. Just click on the link located in the upper right hand corner of my blog. I am thinking spring and will have alot more pieces available in the upcoming weeks.
Now, onto the recipe. I was thinking with the raining weather that something warm and soothing would be great. So how about some slow cook soup. Give it a try and let me know how you like it.
