I closed my blog for the week end, I did not post and I did not comment on others posts. Sorry if I ruined your super bowl game viewing by turning off my comments. 😁
#1 accomplishment was writing all the easy, peasy healthy recipes I have printed off the internet onto the spiral thingy index cards, to avoid being buried in a landslide of papers each time I opened the cabinet that I stuffed them in.
#2 accomplishment was writing this Monday post.
( Christmas earrings, barbells, index card keeper, 5 sided grater, 2 blouses)
P.S. out of about 70 items, there were only TWO fights because 2 people picked up the items and purchased them even though they were not the highest bidder
Yes, I am serious! one gave in and let the highest bidder have it, the other refused and said but I really want these books. They were worn out paperbacks.
During the funeral, Out of the corner of my eye, I could see all the covert looks at my blouse and could tell they were stunned by how well I looked in it. heh heh heh I think some of them may have noticed I had on custom made by MadSnapper earrings that matched....🤣

You scored on the sale! What a clever way to get rid of stuff!
So....you are going to lift weights now. You are going to get so healthy and good looking you will make us all feel like lazy bones. I MUST exercise regularly!
I want to see the blouses, you posted everything but them. Too bad you could not take pics at the funeral, how rude that would have been. What a time you had at the meeting!!!You had a busy weekend. Between the meeting, funeral, and getting all the recipes done, for sure no time for blogging stuff. I am sorry about whoever passed away, hope it was not someone really close to you.
REALLY like the grater!!!
That sounded like a fun activity until I read fights broke out. You scored well.

Well done - on all counts!!! YAM xx
Hello Sandra!:) Well done on getting so much done. Copying recipes down, and writing them in my recipe book is something I tend to put off doing, so end up with lots of scraps of paper, any kind, even kitchen roll, tucked inside my recipe book. Love the grater, and dumb bells, and the idea of swapping things you don't want for the highest price. You did well. I'm sorry you had to attend a funeral, something that happens all too frequently at our age.
What a fun way to get rid of the stuff you no longer use or want. Rather sad that someone would buy something when they weren't the highest bidder. I like that grater. I don't think I've ever seen one of those. I have a really old one that I've had forever
I hope you enjoy the paperbacks. (JUST KIDDING!) but do sincerely hope Bob does well with the weights. ;)
On the argument I envisioned Lily Tomlin and Ruth Buzzi in a tug-o-war--haha.
Sounds like a fun time was had by all as the old social pages of the newspapers used to say.
Hello, sounds like a nice weekend. I like the items you bought in the sale, the blouse is pretty. I have been wanting the barbells, hubby and I often used the weights at the old Florida clubhouse. Now, we both miss them.
The index card keeper is great for your recipes. Enjoy your day!
Sounds like you had a productive weekend. Hope you will have a great week ahead.
love the blouse. sounds like you had a wonderful weekend.
have a great week ahead!:))
That sounds like fun. Glad you found several treats. I like that grater!
I like those pink barbells! Congrats on the blouse too. It's a lovely print!
Well done Sandra. That's a great idea for getting rid of unwanted items.
A new blouse for a dollar...can't beat that.
Sometimes it's good to take a break from the computer. I have been on it less myself.
I think I am addicted to it though...going to have to go to "OFF THE COMPUTER" annomous.
Love the idea of that silent auction! But, I've a dumb question: So you were #25 ... does that mean you had to wait to bid until #'s 1 through 24 went before? I'm shaking my head about those cheaters who didn't play fair? Did they not learn anything in kindergarten? :) I wonder if they'll have the nerve to show up again.
Please post a pix of you in the new blouses, OK?
I like the whole concept of this kinda sale!
I want to see your blouse too. Oh MS are we late. The peeps left at 10:30 for haircuts at 11. When they arrived they found the stylist was way behind because one of the early customers was L A T E due to traffic out where she lives.. There were 4 people ahead of us. We had to wait almost an hour to get our hair cut. She said she started to tell miss tardypants should could not do her hair but tardypants has lots things going on so she did her hair.
We got home 2 hours later. Now I'm behind. here is is 2 pm and I just got tonight's supper in the cp at 1:30.
Hugs Cecilia
I so love your attitude!!!! Fighting over worn out paperback books? Are people insane?
I love your blouse! There's nothing like brightening up a funeral.
I like the idea of trading things around! I went to a White Elephant sale over the weekend and brought back MORE junk I don't need...but wanted! haha! I need to get rid of some things now! Enjoy your week and this gorgeous weather! Hugs!
I bet you are running low on faults to hide!! What a fun place TOPS is!
Now that sounded like a great meeting - interesting and full of action!
You accomplished a lot over the weekend sweet Sandra...and got good bargains to boot. Hugs
I haven't had a lot of time for commenting lately either, but I'm not getting as much done as I should. I just don't know where the time goes.
Funny about the person not giving up the paperbacks. Gosh, people never cease to amaze me!
Now, show us a selfie of you in that pretty blouse...we wanna see it.
Lol...btw, I was disappointed on the weekend because I thought I would come here to read some fresh words of wisdom, and leave a few of my own, only to find you closed up shop for the two days.
What a good way to get rid of things you no longer need and get some that you can use, like the blouses. And, yes I am sure Sandra that you looked wonderful, despite the occasion being a sad event.
That looks like an awesome grater. You did good!
