Animal Wednesday and Paint Bonanza

Happy Animal Wednesday from a flock of pelicans at Bodega Bay


DH came home from the Thrift Store the other night carrying a caddy FULL to overflowing in acrylic paints and screen painting paints, paint brushes, an unused sketch book, container of silver glitter;Brand new watercolor pencil set and other odds and ends, a total of 50 plus paint containers some never opened...for a grand total of $5. The screen printing paints, which paint on fabric and paper, had an original price tag of $14.95 and are brand new!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW~ Am I a happy camper.
Thank you DH! You are so thoughtful.

LOVE those pelicans and your DH is the BEST!!! You two find the most fabulous things at those sales and I am almost convinced I need to start going to some.

And I finally 'met' Chris from Wisconsin and she only lives about an hour away.
