I have had a few great days shopping at Value Village. Yesterday I found 4 incredible dishes that set me back a whopping $4.48 with tax. I am not posting a picture (yet) as I haven’t decided where they will wind up. Suffice it to say that they will make someone, somewhere, very happy. I […]

Nice aim
By Caitlin Jane in caitlin's crap, hahaOr bad aim, depending. I didn’t notice this until I put my shades on and was like, WTF, and checked em out. Gross, huh? None on my hair, though. That’s the good news.

Dragons!
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, caitlin's crap, making stuff is goodI found another dinner size plate yesterday, not by Johnson Bros, but close, it is Stafforshire. It’s a dark brown transfer and the plate is in pristine condition. I also got these on a whim. Well, more as a knee jerk. I mean, for $1.99, how could I resist? Amazing! No, they aren’t Lacoste alligators, […]

The start of a new collection.
By Caitlin Jane in caitlin's crapJust what I need, right? More stuff? Well, hopefully this collection will turn into a pile of beautiful, usable, things, namely dishes. I just like china, it’s much nicer than eating of cheapo, crappo normal plates. I have 2 of the small saucer size plates and I also have one dinner plate that’s in pink […]

Snort.
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, caitlin's crap, seriously?Seems it was pig day at the Village today. Yes, I still go there. No, the pigs weren’t organized as such, I did that. It was easy though, there were so many. These guys weren’t the only ones either. Or the ugliest. See what they did there? It says “PIG” just in case you couldn’t […]

All wore out.
By Caitlin Jane in caitlin's crap, clothesWhen Shannon and I went out for dinner a couple weeks ago I realized I had pretty much nothing in the nice department to wear. No dressy shoes or boots either. It was difficult to get ready, but I managed. Somehow. So why is it that all shoes seem to disintegrate at the same time? […]

Paging Dr. Lion!
By Caitlin Jane in caitlin's crap, toysI wish I knew what set of toys this fellow came with. I remember flat, plastic, checkerboard floors (grey?) that walls (green?) slid into and I remember Nurse Nelly. I think it’s safe to assume that there was assorted hospital furnishings too.

Mail
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, caitlin's crap
I got the ring I ordered from Midwest Alchemy in the mail today, it’s awesome. I’d always wanted a ring with emeralds-my birth stone-and now I have it. And if anyone was wondering, my birthday is exactly 2 months from today. Get crackin’!

Good score
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, caitlin's crapOne would think that living as close to Value Village as I do, that I’d spend a lot more time there than I do. But I don’t. It’s quite possibly the grossest VV I have ever had the misfortune of shopping in-all the clothes, literally, ALL the clothes are disgusting, dirty, ripped, full of crotch […]

The 10 things thing
By Caitlin Jane in Blogroll, caitlin's crap, Griping, hmmmm, loveSince I was tagged twice to do this, I figured I’d better get the ball rolling. Mostly I feel like my life is an open book so there won’t be much new stuff in here or any real surprises to anyone, but I’ll try. (And the description of the process, from Ashley’s blog to help […]
