good morning!
this morning
i'm grateful that
'kara' woke me up with her barking...
{people were parking in her street}
so i had to get up early
&
they are having their spring fair
at the church across the road...
so i had to get dressed and go
to the fair
early...
and as they say
'the early bird catches the worm'!
well today
i was that early bird....
here are my worms..hehe!
4 x 'johnson of australia' pale green luncheon plates @ 50c ea
{they only wanted $1 for the 4, but that was too cheap}
2 x lemons @ 20c ea
1 x brand new, in the packet still, ham bag @ 50c
4 x butterfly cakes for morning tea @ $1.50
1 x sausage from the sausage sizzle (brekky) @ $2.00
{eaten already!}
then i remembered that lincraft has a 30% off sale for three days
beginning today.
well this early bird scored again...
more worms...
2 reels of thread 250m..a good brand
2 blades for my rotary cutter
1 new rotary cutting board
&
paid the princely sum of $22.00
for the lot
{30% off + a $10 discount voucher i had waiting for such an occasion!}
and i was home before 10.00 am
hows that?
hoping you find great bargains yourself this weekend...
&
check out 'maxabella's' place for more grateful ppls!
naturally Carol xox
It definitely pays to be the early bird Carol...nice buys :)
ReplyDeleteHooray Carol - nifty shopping indeedy.
ReplyDeleteI was a very early bird this morning too - awake at 4:45 [literally with the birds] getting up and at 'em for the Noosa triathlon.
All over now and our little champ is very happy with himself.
xx's for a great rest of your weekend
I would love to be able to get out early and grab some finds like that- with a baby I'm lucky to be dressed by 10 most days!! Hope you had a nice rest of your day
ReplyDeleteWoo-hoo!!! Love the bargains! ;-)
ReplyDeleteWell done Carol!
ReplyDeleteLove it. You ARE an early bird. Now you have the rest of the day to use/christen all those lovely purchases. I hope you enjoy a nice hot cuppa with that lovely angel cake!

I've just crawled (protesting) out of bed and now I think I may go back and curl up under the duvet instead of walking the dog. You've tired me out, Carol!! Doesn't help that it's still dark at 07:30 here!
ReplyDeleteThe early bird certainly did find some great worms. This early bird is hoping to get my housework done early so that I can play in my craft room all day! Hope I'm determined and lucky as you. Patty
ReplyDeleteHmmm some lovely worms you got there!
ReplyDeleteYou just reminded me that there was a fete here this morning at a local church, dammit forgot again...too distracted by aeroplanes lol!
Have a great day Carol :)
What a lovely early morning you have had....if only every weekend bought such surprises and goodies. Have a lovely rest of the weekend.
ReplyDeleteYou WERE an early bird...and it was so worthwhile, Carol! What wonderful things you found! Have a lovely weekend.

Those are some worms! What a great catch Carol bird ;D
ReplyDeleteOh well done! I can't believe you got a rotary cutting board for that price (with the thread and blades too)! Bargain :)
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you had a very successful day & those cupcakes look delicious!

I'm never the early bird (or at least, this bird prefers snuggling up to her pillow!) but it always pays o be, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteI think I remember you mentioning the church fair across the road last year? I might be wrong, but the thought has suddenly made me aware of how we bloggers know the rhythm of each others' lives so well. x
Sounds fabulous! Enjoy the lovely week ahead, Kellie xx
