Then on the way home I stopped at a garage sale and found another Boyd's bear and a Boyd's snowman for $1.00 each. I was so excited. I also bought the little basket for 50 cents.
Be blessed.

Friday Finds...
Happy Friday friends! I hope you are all ready for a fantastic weekend! Today the weather here in Minnesota was PERFECT! The sky was my favorite color of blue and it was dotted with big fluffy cotton candy like white clouds. The sun was shining, there was a slight breeze, the temps were about 80 degrees and the humidity was low. The day was so fantastic that I decided to go for a drive, well the drive took me to thrift stores and a garage sale and I think I found some great things. I collect Boyd's Bears and it was a beary good day for that! At the first store I went to, Salvation Army I found these three cuties for only 5 dollars for one and 3 for the other two. OK one is a moose I know but it is made by Boyd's.
At the Good will store I found this neat distressed bowl thingie, for the life of me I can't think of the name,(old timers). I am making some rag balls out of homespun to put into it. The bowl was only $2.00!
Then on the way home I stopped at a garage sale and found another Boyd's bear and a Boyd's snowman for $1.00 each. I was so excited. I also bought the little basket for 50 cents.
When I got home I finished the firecrackers I made so I thought I would show you those also, they didn't turn out too bad.
Well there you have my Friday finds. Sometimes you just luck out! Have a great weekend everyone!
Be blessed.

Cindi~ I used to work for boyds,loved seeing all the differnt ones.I still have some of their salesman artist samples that the artist would submit and boyds would tweak them, discard the idea or put it into production.They started out making Reproduction antique wood decoys in our small town back in the early 80's.I was a teenager then and remember my girlfriends mom would take the big swan decoys home and hand paint each one.Warm Blessings!~Amy

Good morning!! I think the Boyds are so cute. I used to collect them about 12 years ago. I have a few of my favorites left. They are so cute. Your firecrackers turned out great. Good job. I'll be making some rag balls myself this week. Good luck. -Steph-
