My Beautiful Momma

How Gorgeous is she!!!

I have one of those photo screen savers on my computer. So when I stepped away from my computer today, my screen saver kicked in and started flipping through all my mom's old pictures.

My Dear Mr. scanned them all so we could have copies.

As I stared looking at all the great pic's, I thought...I LOVE looking through all her old photos.

I love everything...the clothes, the hair, everything!

She won "Miss Teenage Philippines" in Los Angeles in 1965!! She was 17 years old.

(yes she IS Filipino, I promise! Just half, other half is Irish)

See! That's my momma with my grandpa! :)

I guess I'm just feeling a little sappy and nostalgic on this Monday.

Love you Momma!! :)

Much Aloha,

Thrifty finds....that ends badly

Hi-Di-Ho everyone!!
I'm back!!
It's been a CRAZY couple weeks....but finally things are starting to settle down a little.
I hadn't been thrifting in a while, so I was REALLY excited when I saw these awesome finds!!

Federal Glass green dots bowl - $2.99
Vintage kitchen towel, and vintage fabric - .98 each
Buffalo China platter with blue edge - $1.99
Pyrex Verde Cinderella Bowl Set - about $20.00 total

I nearly squealed when I saw the whole set of Pyrex.....I own A LOT of Pyrex. But strangely enough, I don't have a complete set of anything. So this was the first :)
Then.....as I was taking these pictures, trying to get the right angle, I must have bumped the table.....

I heard them slide

I saw them start to fall

I heard them crash

Then.....

I may had yelled...NOOOOO!!!!!!!
There may have been tears.......
The two smaller bowls, Down, broken, smashed......

So, I'm back to not having any complete sets :(

I'm just kinda a klutz sometimes...

Oh well....don't cry over broken Pyrex. (easier said then done...)

Much Aloha,
Monika :)
