The French Flea…

I recently visited a new occasional shop called The French Flea in Anoka, MN. Stop by and see some pictures of The French Flea on examiner.com.

Flashcard ideas
If you have done something fun or creative with flashcards and are willing to share your ideas with me for an article on examiner.com, let me know. I promise to give you credit for the idea and photos. Also, awhile back I was reading someone's blog (sorry I can't remember whose blog...too much blogging...I am in blogfog) and they were redoing their laundry room, and had framed three flashcards that said something like WASH DRY FOLD. If you are that blogger or know who it was I would like to connect. Please email me at cottagelifestyle@gmail.com.

Garage Sale Survey
Okay, time to beg…I am so close to having a 100 people take my garage sale survey (see side bar), if you have time and haven’t done so already, please take it. I will be using the results of this survey in an upcoming Thrifty Shopping article on examiner.com. My goal is to get 100 bloggers to participate, so tell all your friends.

What I didn’t buy last weekend…

Yup, I passed these up. I wanted them as I only have four dining room chairs, and when there are six of us I drag two odd chairs from other parts of the house, and when there are eight people I drag chairs from the porches (not great for using at the dining table). They were two for $20. I was actually proud of myself for passing them up. If I had bought them they would have be stored in the basement when not in use.

I am coming over and bringing dessert…

When we have family gatherings I always volunteer to bring dessert as I love to bake. I haven’t ever owned a cake/pie carrier. Correction here...Actually I own several silver cake carriers that are just used for decoration on top of my kitchen cabinets. Usually I take a box and place the pie/cake in it and hope the box keeps the item steady and that the dog doesn’t get into it during the car ride.

When I spied this 3-tier beauty at a garage sale I didn’t even negotiate…I quickly pulled out my $2. Don’t you just love it??? I haven’t ever seen one with wild pictures like this one. Makes me want to whip up some dessert and head to a cabin for vacation.

I am trying to figure out where I could keep it on display in the kitchen.
