Two recent finds.......

I stopped by our local Goodwill the other day and found this adorable clock. It reminded me of a giant pocket watch but it sits on your desk. I used to collect Big Ben and Baby Ben clocks but I have also always loved pocket watches. SO for 1.49 I had to buy it.

The second find was at our local Big Lots store. The marble bunny. It was apparently a prior HALLMARK bunny....that sold for 18.00......but Big Lots somehow had them and were selling them for 6.00 each. Did I NEED a marble bunny? Did I HAVE to have it? No.......but there again was something about that bunny........it called to me to pick it up and stick it in my cart........and so.........I did......isn't he adorable? (I just realized the glass jar holding crackers in the photograph is also a Goodwill find.....also for 1.49 that I purchased on a prior drive by)

These 2 items would fall into the category of not needing them in life to get by.......but instead do allow me a wonderful feeling every time I see them. Some things we own in life do that. They drudge up old memories or just make you feel good. SO these 2 little guys are now part of my FEEL GOOD collection. AND YES......those are M&M cookies in the background I was making for Noah that I realize I may never be able to make again because they are ever so hard to resist.

That's a very cute bunny and nice watch. Those cookies are looking mighty tasty right now too!

yeah I won't be able to make those and have them around again because they are too tempting to eat!
