ME Monday

Welcome, again to Mary Engelbreit Monday. Please join us and post the link to your blog with the related Mary Engelbreit pictures to share with everyone. It can be a ME licensed product or something that was "inspired" by Mary Engelbreit's artwork. It "should" be a photo that you took of something that you own. We're flexible here....let's have fun above all else.
When I was out n' about last week at Barnes & Nobles, buying that cute pop up Valentine's day card, I found this Mary Engelbreit page a day desk calendar. I didn't NEED a desk calendar but HECK it was 75% off of $13.99 making it $3.50. Then it became a DEAL so I then needed it. Right?? It's makes for good "props" on my blog.
And Then!!! When I was out with my neighbor, Paddy, on Valentine's Day we stopped at St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store in Clearwater. Neither of us had been there before and we just kind of stumbled on it. Paddy is a true "junker" so I knew that she would enjoy checking the place out. Until I met her I had never heard of the term "junking". Usually, she is the one who finds something she needs but this time I spotted this Mary Engelbreit box in a glass case.  Turns out it was a watch...not running...but I was willing to take the chance that I could replace the battery. How much for the watch you ask?????? Five bucks! Such a Deal! Then another three dollars and change for a new battery. She runs like a charm. I'd never even seen a ME watch with a metal band before. Happy dance!

Now it's your turn....Once you've posted your pictures come back and add your link to the link tool below. Please share the link back to my blog so that everyone can take part in sharing their post and picture.

  3. Oooh Vickie Junking is the BEST!! Even better with a friend! And we all know YOU are the Queen, and all you have to do is wonder what time it is to remind Yourself that indeed you are "Herself the Queen"!! Hurrah to the Queen on another great score of bounty while junking...how else do Queens get rich?

  4. Those are both wonderful finds. I'd forgotten that Feb is the month to get calendars cheap. I once bought a Far Side page a day calendar like that for $1.00. I had a lot of fun with that one. I didn't even know there was a ME watch to be had. Thanks for hosting the party.

  5. There was not a single ME item at the auction I went to last weekend.
    I guess all the good stuff is attracted for you to find.

  6. Hi Vicki!
    O.K., so I CLEARLY live in the wrong state -- it seems that every flea market, thrift shop, consignment store and yard sale, here in Massachusetts, has never sold anything Mary Engelbreit! I guess people just don't want to part with it! I know I wouldn't! LOVE the box you got - it's AWESOME! If you ever get any "doubles" let me know, O.K.? LOL!!!!
    Take good care - Have a WONDERFUL day!

  7. Well, thanks to Shelly and her Give=Away, I was able to come up with something again this week. It is the cutest thing I have ever seen...am wondering if you already have one. Love the watch. Did you get a battery and get it working. That would be super if you did. As always, your post is colorful and so YOU. I love it!
