Yesterday Chris had a day off after working two doubles in a row, it was really nice to have him home! And leave him there apparently, LOL because I snuck out to a scrapbook store that is closing and grabbed a couple of things for 40% off including a pair of really nice heavy duty Fiskars fabric scissors for $4.99. I thought that would make a good addition to my new sewing paraphernalia. While I was out and about, a friend met up with me and surprised me with this vintage Disney story book:
Awesome! There's all sorts of stories from different Disney TV shows like Zorro as well as some of the usual fairy tales. So cool!
Later, Chris and I ended up taking a field trip to the mall and I finally pulled the trigger on this Hello Kitty necklace:
I've been eyeing this thing for literally years! lol I finally decided to get it! All mine! lol
While at the mall I strolled through Macy's and couldn't believe what I found. I spied (with my little eye) a Calphalon covered deep skillet that was all dressed up with a dish towel, a wooden spoon and the Top Chef cookbook (I love that show!!!):
Regularly $125.00 and I got all of this for...wait for it...$30.00!!! Yeah, I know, I couldn't believe it either!
I also got off my butt and took Lebowski to get groomed. His fur had gotten so long and he looked so grungy, I cried uncle and took him in. Here's a before picture!
Okay, that's actually Chewbacca from Star Wars but Lebowski was looking pretty close to that! Here's the after:
Ah, you can see the relief on his sweet face. He feels, looks and smells much better now! lol
And that was my Wednesday! lol Hopefully today I can start playing with my newest kit from LPS. FUN! I won't drag this post out any longer but I just had to share my most recent finds! lol Have a great day everyone!
Oh what the heck, here's a random picture of Toot, she wishes you a very merry Thursday! :D

AWWW Toot you are just way toooooo cute!!!! Maggi you scored BIG TIME yesterday. That pan and the cookbook are awesome and your necklace is sooooo pretty!!!! Puppy looks so handsome!!!! Oh dear.....I will pray for Callista.....I know she has been sooooo sick!!! Happy Thursday, sweet friend!
Toot is JUST ADORABLE!!! AND YAYYYYYYYYYYYY FOR vintage BOOKS!!!!!! YUMMY!!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE the fun purchases....and doggy looks much better as himself than Chewy!!! LOL! And I didn't realize that Callista was sooooooooo sick....I will keep her in my prayers! :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)
Oh no! Toot is tooo cute! This is not helping at all. I'm thinking about having another baby. I already have 3 boys though... having another would be bonkers! But then I see this little adorabe tadpole of yours....awwwwww! You are the deal diva! Bravo girl!
Thanks for the update on Callista, I was hoping in a way that they would admit her, and spend some time to figure out what the heck is going on. Her entire family is in my thoughts!!!!
Ok - now you know when you end one of your posts with that cute TOOT - we completely forget everything else you have written about! LOL!!! Seriously you really racked up! Great finds and a special stay spent with the hubby - WOOT! WOOT!
Maggi, I can't address anything on this post until I tell you that Lil' Ms. Toot is THE most adorable sweet one! She is going to be a heartbreaker...is your hubby ready to for that??? Those big brown eyes are gonna slay a few fellas!
Now to confess! I am totally jealous of that addition to your kitchen! You Go Girl! I love the few Calphalon pans I have and that combo is one to drool over! How is the cookbook? As good as one would think it to be? And the vintage book, the necklace...you scored big yesterday!
You also gave me a kick in the pants with this post. My poor little dog has not seen the groomer in years. My daughter has been giving her a few trims along the way, but its probably time to send her to the doggie-day-spa. I think she will thank me for it!
I'll be sure to keep Callista in my prayers. I had hoped to hear better news from her doctor's visit. Please continue to keep us posted.
One more thing, where do you live in NC? I didn't even realize we live in the same state until this weekend. I think someone commented the other day about being near Charlotte? Just curious. It would be so exciting to find a blog buddy who lives closer than, oh say, 500 miles away...lol!
Hope your Thursday is as good as your Wednesday seemed to be! XOXO
OH my goodness, toot is too cute for words. Those brown eyes and that smile!!!
Sounds like you were a deal bandit yesterday. Love all your new finds. I'm a little saddened that Chewie got a cut...my son will be very upset, although he does look pretty cute after as well!
