Guest guest Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 wow that waterford is beautiful crystal......... what an amazing find.......... I tried to get my girls to look at their jeans, and because they were only high waisted ones, they roll their eyes........ LOL I like my high waisted pants and shorts, but not them. Now I don't let them wear really low ones......... I'm going to look for more thrift stores. Right now we are redoing my youngest daughters bedroom, so furniture shopping is taking up all my spare time. She is turning 14 and her room is still decorated like it was, when we last redid it age 4.............LOL She is so ready for a young lady's room....... She hates for any of her friends to see her very cute, but little girls room........... We are going to paint, redo the carpet, and new bed linen, etc. This is time consuming but fun as we see more and more of her unique personality as a young lady thru all of this.

I've been hit about 4 in the past month and found nothing in the kitchen(only broken, scratched, missing parts stuff) or cookbook area.......... I need to look up some more in other cities that I shop in, so I can hit them too.
