My New Hobby

Yes, i started a new hobby today... I watched one time at Antiques Road Show this woman bringing her collection of brooch pinned in a mannequin shape. I said to myself if i been doing that since i started going into a yard sales, estate sales, thrift stores i probably have a lot of collection of brooch. It's just given me an idea for my new hobby and she collected it for 10 years and mostly she bought it for a dollar below. That's exactly the price of some of those sales. So starting today i bought some for my collection maybe after ten years i'm gonna bring this to the Antiques Road Show and worth 10,000 as what the woman's collections worth. hhaha! She just collected it, she had no idea if it's old or new, marking or without any markings. The appraisal lady said that her collection is a mixed old and new but still worth $10,000 all for a nice collections.

Aphrodisiac Foods

I came across this book one day at Goodwill store checking on there sale. It caught to my attention one of their book entitled "INTER COURSES" an aphrodisiac cookbook by: Martha Hopkins & Randall Lockridge. Well it's interisting to learn something and expanding your ideas and imaginations about the stuffs that all people likes hehehh. And you know to share it to everybody like to blog about. I am not interested on the recipes i am interested on the foods that awaken your desire. I don't know if it works but there's no harm in trying especially for those people who really needed this kind of trick just to awaken their deepest desire. Well if you people needed this kind of trick try the chocolate, asparagus, chiles, coffee, basil, grapes, strawberries, honey, artichoke, black beans, oysters, rosemary, edible flowers, pine nuts, avocado, libations and figs. That's what this book says. When i was in the Philippines i heard about "balut", hot spicy chiles and i forgot some. This is probably effective, well like i said there is no harm in trying. Try experimenting if you really needed to hehehh.

Treasures in the Thrift Stores

I stopped by at Goodwill yesterday just to browse around and maybe i can find some great deal. I am more like looking and browsing on the jewelry section cause it's much cheaper if you can find nice fashion jewelry or a real one. I found one bracelet yesterday had like a Chinese writing on it. Well, it's only $2.99 but even so i didn't bought it at that time cause i don't wanna waste my money for the item just to be thrown away but there is some markings on it 916 and i don't have any idea what's it means. When i got home i search for it and found out that 916 is 91.6% pure gold 22k gold and the rest is a metal a copper or silver. But still part of it is pure gold. I search for it on eBay also and there selling more than 2.99 the price of what i pay for it. Oh yeah! i went back to the store and bought it and the lady says " i know you'll come back for this".

A good bargain is a great deal

I love bargains... I'm a shopaholic but in a bargain place. Look at me, i may be cheap but got a style. "wink" hahaha. I like to shop to a last chance and a thrift store, a last chance is a store where you can find known brands but in cheap price. Items that are reject or defective but still in good condition and new and in a fair price cause it's cheap you can't beat with that. Thrift stores are those donations items, most of it were used and some were worn out hahaha. I won't buy worn out, I'm looking for an excellent like new condition that's why you have to browse, browse and browse till you can find a great deal with a style. Some people donate new stuffs too with tags. There are a lot of fun stuffs at thrift stores and a lot of selections in every occasions. I go to wall-mart, target and k-mart also but you know I'm into bargain so i won't really spend if for me it's too much or i can still find a nice one in those cheap stores in a very cheap price. But if it's important and i really need it or i can't live without it i won't mind risking few dollars on my pocket. hehehe.
