IT ALL DEPENDS ON WHICH SIDE OF THE “T” YOU’RE ON
OH, what I found today!
I hit the jackpot!!
This is just one of the reasons I’m addicted to very, very fond of yard sales. All this for only (wait for it…..)
$3.00!!!!
Hubby and I look at a few things just a little – uhm – differently. What I see when I look at this:
What he sees when he looks at the same thing:
I mean, just imagine all the Remissionary projects dancing in the shadows here, waiting to be discovered and brought to light. I feel like the light-giver! People, there was one piece of fabric that was – I kid you not – F I V E Y A R D S . And another of four yards, one of about 2 1/2, and an entire box of quilter’s delights: scraps big enough to make quilting squares. That doesn’t even include all the wonderful ribbons and lace and bling bling trim and stuff:
Just look at this beauty I would’ve missed had I heeded my hubby’s polite request to leave (“are you done yet? are you done yet?”)! I see a lovely purse in this, or maybe a really cool looking pillow, or a fabulous vest and purse to match.
Oh, and that’s not all. No siree bobalouie! This beautiful Oriental dress (too small for me) will become a true REmissionary treasure. It was used as a halloween costume, but it’s much too pretty to be sullied by such a detestable celebration, so I’m going to make an elegant purse and matching wallet from it.
it’s pretty on both sides – I won’t even have to use a liner!
So I have to ask myself, which side of the “T” am I on? Is it Trash…or Treasure??? I choose Treasure!
You, my friend, are a treasure to me. Praise the Lord for the treasure you found today. <3 deb
As are you to me!!! *heart*
Our perceptions on various articles is not quite that extreme, yet the coin can be turned also to where I see the potential of a lost, lonely and misplaced thing-a-ma-bob, but it costs more than pocket change. I guess it falls under the category of “boys’ toys” cost more. And the fact that someone has to twist my arm to spend money on anything that I can’t eat or drink. Priorities of life…….FEED ME SEMORE!
What movie is that line from?? the FEED ME SEMORE thing, I mean?
I see treasure and possibilities!
So do I!!! So many, many things to make!
