My new little friend

I have purposefully not talked about "our" house because I have enough sense to know that listening to the same old spiel about delays, lying mortgage brokers, AAA-holes and delayed dreams can be a drag. But one quick update: We've supplied and met all the conditions for the underwriter and we could be home by next weekend......can you hear me squelching air? ..........gasp!  Okay, so I'm a lil deflated, gotta go into emotionless void mode till this baby drops. In the meantime I'll just keep huntin treasures........



TA DA!!!
 He's a foot tall and pretty proud of it. I had never seen one so large and quickly found after a little google that he was made for displays in stores, not really for sale. So he's like an extra special promo! Love him even more <3  I love Annallee dolls, we buy at least one a year at Marshall's or Ross. The story behind this company is pretty inspiring to me since I have a similar desire to make toys and dolls. It has a pretty sad ending though, but I digress.....
 Look at that mug <3
made in 1971.... I got him for 4$
Yeah, he's a keeper. Hope he lasts another 40 years :)
