I found a beautiful little bone china basket that can easily be used as a sugar dish today at Goodwill. It had NO chips and is so sweet! My friend that owns the tea shop will be getting this as a Christmas gift. It was $3.99- but I know she will just love having it in her collection. The roses and leaves are so delicate..the colors are a very light pastel. What a find! I love it when I find gifts like this. Once, I bought a friend a teacup and saucer at a garage sale for $8. When I looked it up online, it was $30. The friend still says it is one of her favorite sets in her collection. (I never said where it came from 
)
Anyway- I envision wrapping this little basket in some tulle or some pretty wrap-
I also stopped by Michaels and found a 2013 journal for $7 for DD3, who is my writer-journaler in the family. The cashier was so sweet, she gave me 40% off even though I didnt have a coupon (didnt even ask!!), so the journal was only $4.20. Dd3 will love it.
We also stopped by the dollar store and I got birthday wrapping paper for my granddaughters gift, 3 bars of soap for me, and some liquid hand soap. I love the dollar store for these types of purchases. Wrapping paper everywhere else is so expensive. My granddaughter's birthday party is on the 18th- but her gift is all purchased and wrapped...ready to go!
Tonight we are having friends over for dinner. These are the same friends who are going with us to the rental house next weekend. Should be a fun night= we are bbqing tri-tip from costco...and planning the food for next weekend.
This is entry #1112 for me. Hard to believe I have has that many things to blog about.
All in all, a great day so far!!
