Saturday's Finds....


I am glad to see that yard sales have begun in our neck of the woods. Saturday we had 27 listed in the local paper. I was upset that I had an all day meeting for my Thirty One business so I was unable to go to the yard sales. There were several in my neighborhood. As I was leaving for my meeting, I saw one already set up so I decided to stop for 10 minutes to see if there were any great bargains.

I wasn't dissappointed. I found this gorgeous Pyrex snowflake casserole dish. It was released in 1959. This is selling online on some sites for $24.00 - $26.00. I picked it up at the yard sale for $1.00. I was beyond thrilled.


She also had this neat milk glass serving tray. I don't know what I'll do with it but it was milk glass and it was just $1.00 so I had to have it.


I went to the new summer premier for Thirty One on Saturday. They have some great new patterns to be released. Lots of exciting changes. I will be sharing more soon.

 
I am switching phone carriers. I've been looking at phones this weekend and think I have made my decision. One thing I have noticed is that the more technology comes up with newer phones, the bigger they are getting. As much as I love my Motorola Electrify, I would love to have something a little smaller. This one just doesn't fit comfortably in my pocket and sometimes I need that in a phone. But I am sticking with an Android. I can't imagine going back to a "regular" phone after having all my apps. I want something more this size.

I would rather have a smaller phone and have some type of tablet to use when I'm on the couch browsing at night and too lazy to get up and go sit at the computer. I just want an inexpensive tablet that is Wi-Fi only since I plan on using it mostly from the house and I can hook up to wi-fi there. At least that is my current plan.


I guess I need to spend time doing some research and comparison shopping. It doesn't have to have a lot of bells and whistles. I simply want to lay on the couch and surf the internet and read Facebook. That is all I require of it. My phone will be good for internet functions when I am out of the house and if I travel, I always take my laptop. If anybody has any thoughts or reviews on inexpensive tablets, I'd love to hear your thoughts.
