My best thrift.....and pie pie pie.....

 These fun fish mounts walked into the thrift store the other day
and when I asked the price I heard $475.00 but really they
were $4.75........
 They are amazing....Jeremy got the Mai Mai in his room!
 and Cory got the Tuna.....
 someone had paid a pretty price to have them mounted.
Made my boys day!
I have to say these may be my best thrift find yet.
 I picked rhubarb the other day....and so I made
4 rhubarb/strawberry/blueberry pies.....
 I had some friends out for dessert and gave a couple away....
 I love to make pies its just there not something you want around
very often......temptation!

We are having AMAZING weather.....we hit 84 degrees at the house
yesterday afternoon......its glorious but our crop of mosquitos right now
are just awful.....

Enjoy your day....
Heidi

  4. Wow, those fish are fantastic..what a steal too!!

    How nice to have such great weather. It's kind of strange to hear those temps coming out of Alaska.

    Your pies look yummy. I have yet to conquer the pic crust phenomenon, perhaps one day you might consider a tutorial. xo

  7. I have been trying to get hold of rhubarb to plant for ages and simply couldn't find it anywhere (in Sri Lanka) though it does grow there for sure. Those pies look amazing!

  15. Those fish look AWESOME! So do the pies! My rhubarb is coming up gang busters. I am making another pie this weekend. I don't make my own crusts though. I have never figured out how to make the perfect crust! Good job!

  18. WOW!
    I would have liked to see the faces of your kids when the found the fish in the bedroom.

    They are great, grande, big!!!!!

    In the same way as Allison describes here above: I allready pictured you with the fish in your car.
    And above all they are SO cheap!

    The only apt word for the whole story= amazing.


    And your pie is breath taking, especially in my case. Since I have come home from hospital last week, and my husband comes home late all nights (without shopping stuff) I have to manage foodwise with the things I find in the storage room in the house. So far I found enough but today the urge for something really tasty is rather high.
    Thank God my lovely neighbour brings fresh fruits now and again.

    Right now I would kill for some French Fries (yes, I am a Belgian and I haven't had them for over a year now)
