You really are such an inspiration.<br />My comment was on your little Peanut and "Potty" training. When you take him outside to go keep telling him to "Go Potty" (and when he does tell him "good boy"). I know this must sound crazy but our Lucy goes "potty" on command. This saves so much time on hetic mornings before school and when it is raining.<br />ClaryClary Parryhttp://clarylynn@yahoo.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-79546778450928323642011-03-01T22:17:56.630-05:002011-03-01T22:17:56.630-05:00I live in Indy (South Side) and have not been to M...I live in Indy (South Side) and have not been to Midland yet (just learned about it via your blog!) I'm typically a Goodwiller & avoid antique stores because a lot of the stuff is overpriced, but I enjoy looking around. We went to the Emporium (on 135) in Greenwood last weekend and found some good stuff ~ they had some great, unique vintage furniture for DIRT CHEAP. You might want to check it out if you are ever on the south side! They had some serious junk too, but most flea market-like places do!<br /><br />Here are some of the things I found (at the end of this blog post): <br />http://nileandjess.wordpress.com/2011/02/26/this-past-week-in-a-blink/<br /><br />Super cute decorative items for pennies! :)Jess Smithhttp://nileandjess.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-26763074188199579212011-03-01T21:43:23.917-05:002011-03-01T21:43:23.917-05:00I love this post!

Also, I did a complete tutorial on my blog about a complete PB Hundi Lantern Light knock off that I made. It looks SO close to the one you took a picture of, but it only cost me about $24 for my new fixture! Truly, though, isn't it funny that you see things in Goodwill that you might see in the "antique" malls for triple (or more) the price! That is why I like to window shop a lot to know what is a good price for something. I guess you could call it "research", lol! Loved all of the pictures.

Everything there is pay-by-the-pound. All books are $0.50 for hardbacks, $0.25 for paperbacks (and you can always find some really pretty books for decorating), and "housewares" (basically, anything other than books and clothes) are $1.29/lb. Clothes are $1.59/lb. <br /><br />It's just a great big warehouse full of bins of stuff, and it's a little ookey, but you can find some really fabulous stuff there for dirt cheap. We bought a beautiful pair of 15" tall metal lanterns (glass in them and everything for $3 each. Seriously! It's awesome. Glad you found some fun stuff on your trip!!KaseyQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18394640941485859111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-22587413103361458142011-03-01T13:40:34.759-05:002011-03-01T13:40:34.759-05:00My dog is a Chia Rat as well, and she is the easie...My dog is a Chia Rat as well, and she is the easiest, best behaved dog I have ever had.
