An Unexpected Surprise!

Well, I got an unexpected surprise Saturday evening.

It is actually unfortunate but I was pretty stoked!

Last Saturday we had an outbreak of the flu at our church.

Not the swine flu just an icky flu.

My poor mother was one of many people who got it.

By Monday when I arrived at school, as the church and the school are in the same building, there were 28 people that they knew of that had it.

Well, it didn't stop with just the church people all of a sudden the school kids were getting it.

So Saturday evening I was told that the school was closing down for a week until they felt like everything was safe.

One week off with pay!

Wow, I don't think that has ever happened in the history of the school.

All that to say, today instead of going to school I went thrifting.

I didn't pick up a lot but here are a few things.

I picked up this sweet little basket at my first stop.

Next, I found a large bag of glass door knobs, old and new.

Along with the door knobs came these spare parts.

I don't know what I'll do with them but you know how it is!

String, I don't know what it is about it but I like it!

Along with this string came a bunch of new packages of jute.

I found this old lamp minus the lamp shade and a few crystals.

I seem to end up with a lot of lamp shades so I'm always glad to find lamps to go with them.

Maybe this one!

Here are 5 of 13 old music books I found.

I thought these were pretty cool!

Thank you for stopping by and seeing what I've been up to!
