Score! At Tickled Pink

I finally made the journey to Tickled Pink in Louisville yesterday.  Let me just say...I'm in love... 

Below are a few samples found in one of the many rooms of the store, which is basically an old house filled with goodies in the basement and on the 1st & 2nd floors.  I ran out of time to shop and didn't have a chance to look out in their loaded garage--drats!  I just drove past it as I was leaving and drooled...

Don't try to go to their website--you won't find one.  They have been in business for years and years, but they don't like to take pictures of their stuff because they claim 90% of it will be gone within a week.  Next on my list:  go to the owner's sister's store in Ireland, Indiana, 4 miles west of Jasper--where there is more furniture :D

They are priced to sell...and I was in a mood to buy (but not too much, of course)!

I'd invest in more glassware, if only I had a place to store it (sigh). 

 

This is what I actually bought:  a book for me, a book for the girls, a handy-dandy blue plastic case with brass latches, an embroidered handkerchief (to sop up the drool as I drove away), and a vintage apron (I LOVE vintage aprons--have I mentioned how much I love vintage aprons?)

I haven't decided what to do with the case yet, but I'm sure I'll find something since it was a whopping $0.94.  I'm thinking of decorating something with the "M"--or framing it somehow. 

I also bought Courier & Ives framing prints from 1961.  I just loved the color, and I figure I'll find something to do with them since I got all 12 months for $3.95. 

So, who wants to go shopping with me next week?

Funny Road Signs

I've been meaning to post these photos for weeks...almost months now.  They have cracked me up repeatedly on my drive to school/work every day.  Oh...and while taking these photos, I've realized just how important a law against "driver photography" is...

Southern Indiana...Home of the LOUISVILLE Cardinals

Yes, I'm a Cardinal because I attend the university.  However, U of L appears to be laying claim on all of S. Indiana now.  So, can we all claim random areas of the country to be our "second," "third," or "forth" home?

Maybe the lack of sleep was catching up with me, but I couldn't stop laughing at this.  No, not becaue the front side is so funny...

Scroll a little further...

 

It's because the back side looks like she is losing her brains :)  Was this planned by competing hospitals? 

I know, not the most exciting, but that's how I roll.  Really. 

Oh, and I made it over to the Knit Nook today.  I spent $28, but I got a lot of supplies.  I don't know if I need/will need what I got, but I figured it was all 80%, so why not get it, just in case?  ;-) 

Oh, and now that I've broken out the wallet at the knitting store, I have the sudden urge to do other shopping.  I want to go shoe shopping, so I'd like to head to Zappo's soon.  I've never been there, but I've been wanting to go for years and years now.  Did I mention I'm an "all or nothing" kinda gal?  Once I start spending $, it becomes increasingly difficult to stop.  It's about time that phone rings with a job offer and a good paycheck :D

So are you "all or nothing" or "anything/everything in between"?
