Vintage Snowsuits and the Babblin Boo

Yesterday, I was so excited to have my mother's day out to get my sanity back!! All my peeps having this flu b has been rough, but we are all back in the groove now!! So I had to hit up some of my favorite thrifts to see what I had missed last week and to see if I could find some treasures for ebay. Well boy did I ever!! The first is a Wild Hot Pink Snowsuit for a Woman!! I had heard that different ski resorts have an 80s day for skiers, well someone will grab this one I think, here is the pic..

This baby is a Roffe, which means nothing to the average woman, but to a skier is important I guess, plus it says Passion inside!! HA!!

Then on to another thrift where hanging on the dollar rack, was you guessed it ANOTHER women's snow suit!! This one I was super excited about because it is a brand that I have looked for for YEARS!! This one takes the cake, it is an OBERMEYER!! These are expensive so if you see one, get it!! The lady checking me out laughed and said, we wondered who in the world would buy this!! Of course I smiled!! I said, well it is going on ebay!!
HEre is this beauty in a size 12 ladies no less!!

Woo Hoo!! I know this one is going to bring in some money!! Happy Day!!

Then off to the Goodwill where I got my last treasure. Babbling Boo from Monsters, Inc. Any of these toys do well because they are hard to find now. I sold one of these dolls about a year ago for I think around 50 dollars. So when I saw her I did a little dance, whoop whoop!!

So I listed all 3 and now will wait and see. I had a beautiful day to enjoy and was rejuvenated to see my babies!! Mother's Day out is a beautiful thing!!!

Also wanted to mention several consignment sales that are coming up:

Dancing with a Dirty Chicken in a Vintage Prom Dress

I know that title is crazy but this week has been a crazy week!! My sweet Samuel turned 8 this week! It is amazing how time flies. You think that baby will never get here and then you turn around and the baby is 8!! We had a great dinner at Hot Rod's Diner in Maryville. Check it out for an awesome hamburger!!

But the Dirty chicken story is from Walmart. As I was trying to get a rotisserie chicken from the HOT counter, bam, the bottom fell out, and the chicken rolled into my buggy. Juice is everywhere. I pick it up by the leg, off it falls, try the other leg, off it falls, then just roll the body into the container and think, NOW WHAT!! So I walk back up to the door greeter, who proceeds to ask me, Ma'm, do you want the chicken?? I was like no, it is dirty chicken!! It was on that buggy!! So he says, I think you will have to go to Customer Service. Don't know if they will beleive me!!, Uh, okay, so he escorts me to customer service, the manager says, Ma'm do you want the chicken?? I am like about to scream, I don't want your funky buggy chicken!! But I remain calm as all good Southern ladies should and say, I just wanted that mess cleaned up and you to THROW AWAY THE DIRTY CHICKEN!! Ha!! Of course the fact I had on my hot pink Roos, makes me think I am probably on you tube somewhere, dancing with that dirty chicken.

Which brings me to the vintage prom dresses, if you have any from the 80s, Jessica McClintock, Gunne Sax, bubble bottoms, check out ebay. I found some beauties this week and have them listed. We'll see if they are woo hoos or boo boos. Here is one of my favorites!!

Have a great week, no school for the kiddos tomorrow so lots of fun to be had!! I will post my Sunday Woo Hoos tomorrow!!

An Awesome Week Here even though one little Chick had the FLU!!

Okay, Did you hear me whooping for joy over here this week?? On Thursday, my dear Max who is on the autism spectrum, read 5 sentences to me. Then he read those 5 sentences to Andrew. We were cheering, crying, so excited!! Max was excited too. He knew we were so proud of him!! This is an answer to prayer and we give God the praise!! We are just unlocking that little angel!! Thanks for all that have prayed for our Max and keep em coming!!

Then I sold something crazy on ebay!! Are you ready, I am telling you, anything can sell on ebay!! I sold this doll, which is a My Disney Girl but her arm broke off!! She was a yard sale find that ML carried around for a while then one day, off with her arm!! So I thought, hmm, I can't fix her but somebody else may want a one-armed doll!! So she sold for............

12 bucks!!

I was very excited!! This doll was taking up room in my ebay bin!! Now this week, I have lots of Mary Lauren's clothes listed, and the bids are a coming! The mommies will pay big bucks for smocked dresses!! Hope to have some whoo hoos tomorrow night!

Have a great day at the Lord's house tomorrow, if you don't have a church home, we would love to see you at East Maryville Baptist Church, services start at 1015!! You will be blessed!!

Where have I been?? Battling the Flu B!!

Well Flu B struck my house, I have one down with it. Hopefully, it is going to be the only one. Mary Lauren has been a great little trooper. However, I missed out on my thrifting on Tuesday, it is like an addiction!! Ha!! I did sell the coordinating FIRE KING cups and Saucers!! So I was very excited about that. Plus my hubby was glad to see that stuff go, go , go!! So keep your eyes open for Jadite Fire King dishes. They have a nice resell value!! I will get back to posting daily once my peep is all well!! The little chicky needs lots of love and we have been using the Lysol!!
