Royal Gifts

Many of you that read this blog are Yardsalequeen readers too.  And, if you aren't - you should join up!  Yardsale Queen 

The Yard Sale QUEEN herself, Chris, mentioned a few weeks ago that she had bought something at a sale to send to me.  She has been nice enough to bequeath Crown Royal bags to The Bean in the past (he liked them for his Lego's and stuff when he was little.  It was funny to see my kid running around with a bunch of booze bags).  So, I was expecting Crown Royal bags.

I was especially pleased to find this instead:

PINK watermelon potholders.  Plus, she included a newspaper clipping from an article about her going yard saling.  Notice that in her hand she is holding those very same watermelon potholders.  I own famous potholders!  Woot!

Thanks for thinking of me Chris - I really appreciate it

* I just realized that when I write my GREAT NOVEL, the name of it will be "Watermelon Potholders"!

  9. You're welsome! I knew you would like them - I had no idea you didn't have any in pink. Speaking of Crown Royal - Pocketchange recently bestowed with a Crown Royal baseball cap - she had no idea it had do with the liquor - she just thought it was something "royal" - fitting for a queen!
