Dab of This and That

Last Saturday when the weather went crazy around here, I was going thru another cabinet (part of the clean out process), and ran across this old liquor decanter that I bought for 50cts. at a yard sale back in the 80's. Then I remembered I had bought a bottle tag on sale at Michaels back some time ago. Welll - there went the "clean out" project! :D
I dug around in my " bling" boxes for some chain to match and Wa La!. Not a great pic., but it is a lion with the word Bordeaux written under it. I was going to put it with a small bottle collection in the bathroom, but not sure I want a bottle labeled for wine in the bathroom. :D

While I was digging around looking for the chain, I ran across a chain and black metal flower I bought not long ago. I decided I needed to play a little longer! :D The flower has a place in the center to put a bead or a cabochon or such. So after not finding something I wanted to use in my stash, I looked up and saw my jar of marbles - guess what got glued in the center! I keep looking at it and can't decide if that is what it needs or not.

Since I bought the bottle for 50 cts. (even if it was about 20 years ago,) and the bottle tag on sale, I am linking up with "Thrifty Thursday" hosted by Leigh @ Tales From Bloggeritaville. ,

Shopping news: Went to the new Anthropologie store here last week. I saw a few things I would
not mind having, but at their prices - think I will wait til it goes on sale.
Spring: I guess it is official - Spring is here! How do I know this! I put the chenille throw away until next Fall.
I turned the radio and TV off so I could hear the birds sing while on the computer. :D
It is 7:30PM and a robin is setting on my fence singing it's little heart out.
I am hearing the Mourning Doves again - I love to hear them early in the day.
Don't want to do: Make that dreaded trip to WM . I don't go often, but I need to make a trip. I stock up on lots of paper, cleaning and personal items, then keep an on going list of things I am running out of. Then I take a deep breath and make a major run ! The one I go to has been redone/upgraded and it takes me forever to find what I am looking for. I did get a $5 gift card in the mail, so will use that.
Schedule out of whack! Don't know why, but have been staying up later and getting up later! Not sure that is a good thing. I would blame it on the time change, but started doing this before we changed over. Does it have anything to do with age ! I did not type that!!! :D
Thanks: Thanks to everyone sharing their beautiful Spring flowers. I have enjoyed visiting everyone and seeing what is blooming in their part of the world.
Irritates Me ! When 2 people are carrying on a conversation and both of them are talking at the same time. After the morning news, I turn the TV off - need I say more.
Guess I have rambled enough.
Hope everyone is having a great week.
