I went with my parents early Sunday morning to a flea market. I emptied the monkey piggy bank of some change so I did not have to feel guilty for spending anything other than change.
I got four pens for 50 cents each
A big pack of post it notes for $5.00
A new in the package pink apron with strawberries, a pot holder and oven mitt for $1.00
A small ovenware dish for $1.00
A hand painted black floral trinket box for $1.00
My favorite things were a small and a medium size domed glass covered plates (similar to the one below but mine are not pedestal type) for 50 cents each! The small one has an etched glass cover.
I put my shell collection in the smallest one and the other one is on the table for cookies,etc.
In the evening my Aunt Elizabeth invited us over for dinner. We discussed an upcoming bridal shower that we are hosting. I will make the invitations out and send them. I came home and looked up some party games.
I love parties! One of these days when we are in our own house with a more accessible kitchen, I want to start back decorating cakes again. My Aunt used to run her own catering business and she kindly taught me the basics. I admire her work. I would like to take more classes and learn how to do more advanced techniques. I have only done Christmas cakes and Birthday cakes mostly.
It was always so rewarding making cakes for little children!
