Princess and the garbage?

Well after work I got a chance to hit a couple of thrift stores,I work again this Saturday but in trade I have Monday off. No yard sales on Monday and most of the thrift stores are closed so I guess I will have to do house work.
I got this fabric 4+ yards of fabric. the funny thing is my ottoman is on the left and the fabric is on the right. I feel a project coming on. Not sure what, but I am sure I will find something. I also got this cute vintage paper table cloth. I do believe there is a baby shower in my future.

This vintage S&P I think are headed for my booth. I also got magazines about 8 total spent 3.50

Then a trip to the dump I got this very vintage Christmas bulb I don't even care if it works I will put it in a bowl with my others at Christmas.

And also in the category of something you never knew you needed is a brookstone pasta "picker uper" but the handle has a little timer in it. put in type of pasta and how much you are cooking such as a l lb or 2lb and it will time it to medium or al dente. I tried to look it up but couldn't find it.


and while I was at the dump I saw this.

kinda like the princess and the pea thing. So if you sleep on it and feel the garbage under the mattresses does that mean you are the princess of the garbage pickers??? Well I do have my limits besides I am the queen!
