Treasures

Wanna see my new toy?



For the last 25 years or so I have cut out donuts with a glass & a baby bottle.

Hey, it worked.

I always wanted an actual donut cutter but never came across one.

This summer while we were at family camp a couple friends & I snuck into town to go junking (some folks go 'antiquing' but on my budget it is definitely junking).

We stopped by this fabulous little junk store ~ that I have wanted to go in for years but we were always on our way somewhere else~ and it was going out of business!

The owner told us everything was 75% off.

The first thing I found was this awesome powder horn~ just the type of thing my son would drool over.



It  had a sale tag marking it down to $17.50 something. A really great price but since I had about $7 in my pocket it was out of my price range.

So I wandered around & looked at stuff & kept coming back to the powder horn...

Finally I took it over & asked the owner if that was the final price or was it 75% off of that.

He looked at it & says $4.50.

SOLD!

I couldn't get the money out fast enough :)

Then we all went outside to see what treasures were hanging out in the carport.

I found the donut cutters & these



just piled up on some tables.

I don't remember exactly what I paid for them but I know it was a handful of change ;)

It was a fabulous day .

And making donuts with an actual cutter is much funner than the cup/bottle routine. ;)

Blessings.
