Such a better post, guys :) Vintage included

It's been a bit of a broom closet around here, I know. But I just needed to release a little bit and now I'm truckin on  :)  My dad followed up with another scathing letter, pinpointing how my secretly evil and conniving mother kept him from us and the only people who could prove it are now in the grave.....sounds spooky. I'd like to watch that movie. Wonder when it comes out?
(Yeah, when life gives you lemons, give those lemons sarcastic hell)

Back to my blog's true vibe, remember those Disney cake toppers I found? (wish I knew how ya'll made past references "clickable" in the word so I wouldn't have to re-upload the same pics)

Well, I found the missing Pluto on Ebay. I kinda hate Ebay cuz I take it too personal and get mad at people who are trying to "steal" my stuff. I'm too immature for the whole thing, I suppose....

 And I was back home in Katy last week for a storage unit sweep (had to find some Christmas presents I'd packed away, LAST box I looked in, of course) and got this vintage nativity scene for $3. So glad the lady asking about it was too cheap to pay $3 ;)

 What a scary donkey. There's so much room for facial miscommunication  when painting tiny faces.

 But c'mon really? This angel's so angry lookin it almost seems purposeful. Yikes! Eyebrows can make it or break it, folks!

 My older sis picked this up for me at Goodwill :)

 The promo on the back has pasted a big ol smile on this face.....

 Got this a good while back but it just now got some play. I never knew Tupperware had a Mr. Potatohead knock-off called Eggsters. Herb sold me this for a buck. He told me that 16 year old boy who helps him just sat around and played with it all mornin. He said he wasn't worth a pile of beans (that's southern for worthless) and to top it off he was a "pimpleface". (!) Herb, you just make me smile.

 I notice that even the colors on my blog look happier all of a sudden. Focusing on positives does lead to a better state of mind. But it's okay to be all yucked out sometimes, too. And it's good to just feel it and let it pass on through. Cuz one of the Proverbs says Laughter can conceal a heavy heart, but when the laughter ends, the grief remains.......
Here's to better days :)
