  6. I work at the Post Office, and I had this little kid around 10 yo coming in for weeks asking for those stamps, on the 15th he came in and I told him they come out on Friday the 19th. He woke up that morning, hurriedly got dressed, and went into the kitchen and asked his mom why she wasn't dressed yet, that they had to hurry. She asked him for what, he said he had business to take care of at the post office. She had forgotten all about it. I got a good laugh that he had remembered.

  10. Oh I wish they'd had the pixar stamps when I was in the PO a few weeks ago....I just sent out my son's birthday invitations and he would've loved these!
    So many cute projects you've got going! Love it!

  11. Ok so I used to think you had great vintage sheet success because of where you live... but now you up and moved and they still gravitate to you like magic. You've got skils!

  17. We go to this "rabbit society" grooming sessions at a nearby pet store & they recommended this brush and it works great! I feel like the sharp ones hurt him.

    PS: I can totally imagine George & Jake being bunny buds.

  19. I recently scored a set of black and white salt & pepper shakers in that dot. I just bought them because I love polka dots and thought they were cute; I had no idea how rare(& expensive) they are on sites like Ebay! I couldn't even find the B & W...only Red and White.
    I love the bowls!
