I found my bicycle! (my new old bicycle) The funny part is where I found it. Yesterday after finishing my post, " I'm longing for a new bicycle ," I was lamenting to my husband about how badly I wanted a bicycle of my own. He looked at me and said, " but you have a bicycle." (our vintage Colombia tandem beach cruiser) I said, "I know, I love the tandem but I would like my own bicycle." He said, "You do have your own bicycle... remember you bought one at a garage sale late last summer?" The light bulb went off and the memories came flooding back! All of a sudden I remembered the day I scored my awesome vintage bicycle at a garage sale on Briggs Avenue for $20! I ran to the backyard where it had been covered up with a large brown tarp for the winter. I squealed with delight at the sight of it! I remembered when I bought it it had several small American flags attached to the front basket from being ridden in the 4th of July...

this is the year for you .... whew
seriously? that is the bargain beyond bargains!! And what you walked away with is a winner. gorgeous, handmade needlework. and i love the boat. you are the queen of bargains. I always thought i was, but i'm demoted to princess of bargains, and now are queen. *sniff.
i'll get over it.
but i get to be queen again if I go into a thrift store where everything is $1 and everything under $1 is ½ off and i find a needlepoint like this, OK?
That is some savvy shopping, well done.
It goes to show that it's not how much money we pay for something that gives it it's worth but how much we value it.
