Today was a negotiating day. The night before my daughter, Cassie, told me that she had changed her mind on having a pine cone wedding bouquet, and sent me a picture of a broach bouquet. Fabric flowers with broaches pinned to the top of some of them. Cassie said her colors for her wedding were Grey, White, and Yellow. I will have to go through the material that Pat gave me for doing the Estate Sale to see if I have any grey or white material, as I bought an old dress made of satin yellow to use. So if I can't find any good material to use in the boxes, I will go to Mill Outlet and see if they have what I am looking for. But I have to look in the boxes first.
So this morning we slept in until 10, then hubby made scrambled eggs and toast with peach jelly. Yum! Then we got showered and dressed and headed back over to Pat's house cause I left my charger for my phone there yesterday and my phone was out of power, almost. I was wearing a black shirt and jeans with my new sneakers that I got off of Brad's Deals. Cool price for walking shoes for $28 shipped! So it was going to be really warm today, it was sunny and in the high 60s. When we got to Pat's, her friend, Susan, was packing up the clothes and I asked if they had a lighter shirt I might wear to the Flea Market. Yes! We found one and I went inside to change shirts. Then I went out to the car where hubby was waiting and we took off for the Flea Market.
We paid our $2 each and started to go in but they made me go back to the car and drop off my soda, no outside food or drinks allowed except our water. That pissed me off, they want you to spend money on their food and drinks. So we sent in and started walking around. I was there to look for broaches for Cassie's wedding bouquet and I spotted one right off the bat. It was expensive, $8, but I got her down from $10. It will make a good focal piece. We walked around and found a couple of thing to buy: I got some sunglasses, a couple of Debbie Macomber books, and 5 more broaches. Hubby bought me a hat cause my nose was getting red. He bought a comic book with a record in it, worth about $50 for $5 since the record wasn't in great shape. He also got some fly swatters, and a trio of wisks. We stopped in the middle of shopping and shared an ice cream cone. Hubby tried to buy an ear of roasted corn but they weren't in season yet so no luck.
I really enjoyed the walk around we took and we didn't spend outrageous money so we both were happy. I ended up with 6 broaches for the bouquet and I have to go through my jewelry box and see what ones I have that I can donate to the cause. I might be able to find some online that I can order in time too. I think I will go to the thrift stores instead and buy some there.
When we got home, hubby boiled some eggs and then made us large chef salads for lunch. Then for dinner, hubby made chicken cordon blu, with all that ham and swiss cheese and hollindaze sauce. Not sure how to spell it but it sure tastes good!
Later, when we went upstairs to watch tv, we went on Amazon to watch The Closer and now Amazon is charging for it! Bummer, we really liked that show! I can be like Brenda sometimes, and not the good things about her. I can be self-centered and tactless at times.
