Cottage

Bay St.Louis has many small quaint cottages. Many are painted colors you wouldn't normally see in a neighborhood.We parked infront of this Cottage and it was one of our favorites.

Military

The previous post showed a Navy band at the Bay St.Louis Fair.
Here is where the Marines set up their booth.





The kids liked it :)

The Fair

Yesterday we went to the Bay St.Louis fair. Its a short drive away. They have a yearly fair but its the first time I've been there. Bay St.Louis is a nice little town with cute stores and artsy people. It was a good day spent outside. BaySt.Louis was heavily damaged during Katrina and there are still scars from it.

Cottages/Houses

I have some knick-knacks that I left here and haven't seen in almost 3 years. It's like meeting old friends again.
I like cottages or house pottery. This TeaPot is Made in England by Price Brothers. I had 3 of them at one time. I just love them.

I'll be taking pictures of my other pottery and plaques that I have collected.
I used to have a lot of paintings too but I had to get rid of them. I forgot what I saved and what I got rid of so it was a surprise when I went through the tote and saw somethings I thought were gone. But I also saw somethings and thought, "Why the heck did I save that thing".

I guess because of the bad economy I've seen these teapots going for less then $10 on eBay. Thats what I paid for it, but they were going for $15-$25. So that's a big drop.
It looks like we might get some rain, we can use it.

Mellow Yellow Monday

Some yellow in an aloe plant.

More shopping

We went to K-Mart yesterday. I desperately need tops. I am not buying cheap tops any more, you wash them and they shrink enough that its uncomforable to wear. That happened to two of my tops. Not that I am going to buy expensive tops, I can't afford that, but I'll buy tops I that will last.
I bought 6 tops and a pair of capri's for $56. They had some good sales, some of the tops were reduced by half. So I should have enough, now if I don't stain them it will be a miracle. I usually change into and old top when I am home so I don't ruin a good one.
The family is at Stennis today, I was going but had a stomach upset and thought it might be wise to stay home.
It is hot and humid and partly cloudy. I don't think we are due any rain.

shopping

Saturday we went to a few church rummage sales. One of them is a favorite. I have been looking for a small TV for my room. I looked on eBay. For a small older 9"-13", used TV usually goes for $85-$135 total, and they normally don't come with a remote.

At the church sale they had a 13" Memorex. It looked in great condition, no scratches or dents it wasn't dusty and it had the manual and remote. The tag said it worked. The price was $12!!

I grabbed that right up! It works great! I got a snowman and housecoat and a westclox alarm clock. I spent a grand total of $13.25
It was a good shopping day :)

Sky Watch Friday #42

This was taken yesterday, we have been having a chance of rain every day, we never get it though. We do need rain. We should have had over 4 inches of rain this month but we have only had a trace.

Well I should say last month, I forgot this was May 1^st. Happy May day!
I wonder if children dance around the maypole like we did many years ago, that tradition goes all the way back to Pagan times.
