reselling

packing up my local fiestaware sales and even though i don't want or need these pieces, i still find myself a little attached.  off to new homes they go!

lemongrass serving bowl

one of the perks about buying fiestaware at kohls is kohls cash!  so i was able to grab this bowl using my kohls cash.  it is a lemongrass quart size serving bowl.  it is about twice as large as our normal bowls and a color that i already have!

unifix cubes

this is one of our new "homeschooling" materials.  these are considered to be a math manipulative, so a child can develop a concrete idea using a tangible material to understand basic math principles like addition or subtraction.  we used them today for pattern making, creating letters, building and addition.  they are easy to find on amazon (although maybe back ordered as they are in high demand) and we got the EDX education brand.  i love this brand and have several other of their learning resource toys.  

score!

this weekends thrifted finds are 6 fiestaware salad plates in periwinkle for $13!  these plates are in excellent condition and hoping to resell this reitred color off quickly!

bikes!

daddy brought out the bikes and scooters today!  it's been a while since bowie has practiced or showed an interest, and ryder's first time!

ground hogs day

we have had a beautiful summer here.  even though it seems most days feel like the movie "ground hogs day" i know i will miss these times.  there is already a shift in weather, the mornings are a bit cooler and the days are shorter.  i can feel fall creeping in.  we haven't done much in the way of planned activities but lots of unstructured play time, mostly outside.  there is plenty of times the kids drive me crazy, fight and argue, but i want to remember summer looking like this...

slate

this slate set is such a beauty!  it goes against all my bright beautiful colors, but it is so pretty!  i've gotten really into buy, sell, trading and reselling fiestaware over the last two months.  i came across a clearance find at kohls in the slate.  it was a 16 piece set (4 complete place settings) but one bowl was broken and missing.  well...i had already found a thrifted find of the slate bowl, so i decided to try to resell it.  i sold 3 of the 4 place settings and kept the fourth for myself.
