A yard sale miracle
It's a yard sale miracle! I actually bought something. A white McCoy flower pot with a bamboo design. 
And something else! A toadstool Shiny Brite.Yes, a single ornament. LOL
Oh wait, there's more! A shabby chic shower curtain. (I actually already have one of these. I loved this one so freaking much I bought it full price at Target. You can pick up your jaw now. I was happy to find another one that I can cut up.)
Jack got something too, a free bag of pipe cleaners. He made me a bracelet, then himself a necklace, then we made glasses for his owl on his shirt (He has them hanging from the necklace), then glasses for himself.Free pipe cleaners + Jack = 45 minutes of quiet fun. Awesome.
I think all he needs now is a cape, don't you?
P.S. He recommends putting tape over the sharp edges so they don't poke you. It was all his idea, and a darn fine idea at that if I do say so myself.

That shower curtain would look lovely cut up into a quilt! Lucky you! :)
The single toadstool ornament is fantastic! Jack's pipe cleaner creativity is simply SUPER!! :)
LOL! I like the fancy glasses! My kids want those(pricey) "bendaroos" from the t.v. commercials. So I get them pipe cleaners at the Dollar Tree and keep them in my purse for restaurants.
I have the bedding that goes with that shower curtain. Always wanted the curtain, just didnt want to pay for it. So I would be super excited too! Love Jack and the pipe cleaners, super cute!
Hooray! It's about time you found a few things.
My kids love pipe cleaners too. We make all sorts of things with them.
That photo of Jack makes me smile. So cute! He's a smart little dude, too.
Great finds. I love the flower pot. I have yet to go to a yard sale this year. Maybe this weekend.
Yay for finding stuff! Good stuff at that!
Jack is a mighty clever boy!
Toadstools are so in again, aren't they? I picked up some interesting vintage toadstool items yesterday.
Signing off CHA (becasue my word verification is CHING. Cha-Ching!
What a lovely day!
That Jack is a very clever boy -- and so is his Mama!
I just came across your blog through Crafty Beana's... that quilt on the ladder is amazing!
Glad the yard-sale drought is over. I'll keep Jack's advice in mind when I make myself a pair of pipe-cleaner glasses.
You made out like a beautiful bandit!!! The shower curtain...!!! Shiny Brite.....(swoon!)
I adore pipecleaners....shiny ones are my faves. I am known for sitting quietly in my recliner twisting pipecleaners in to all kinds of shapes...then my DH steps on the pieces I have cut and gets his foot stabbed....lol!!!
Hugs,
Deanna :D
nice haul!
love the shower curtain! I recently found some Mary Kate & Ashley pillowcases that I have always loved at 2 separate garage sales - now I can cut & combine to make something else lovely!
Jack is so cute! I love that he cared enough about the owl on his shirt being able to see properly too! I have that same McCoy pot, but it's got a big crack in it. I agree that the shower curtain is going to look fabulous cut up and made into something, anything. Target has the cutest stuff!
I'm always on the look out for the creamy colored McCoy items. Love them. I have two and want more. Nice find.
Sadie loves pipecleaners too! Just another example of magical internet communication between the two of the them!
Love your McCoy!
And I have the same shower curtain...paid full price, too. It was just soooo pretty. I'm still waiting for a project worthy of cutting into it. LOL
I will have to pick up some pipecleaners! I'm already running out of summer projects to keep my 5yr old niece busy.
Kimberly :)
