Unclaimed Baggage

Hi Pam.  Thanks for the info. I just wanted to tell you I am still enjoying my ladybugs. They are in my front yard in my flowers.  Thank you for sending them to me.

Hey Debbie, I am SO glad you like the Lady Bugs...they were just so cute!! I would love to see you and Jimmy in Ft. Payne...not sure I can make it happen.

The coffee in the coffee shop was good there. I would rather go to the thrift stores up in that area than the UB.

THEY HAVE A COFFEE SHOP NOW???  OH MY!!  LOL

Pam and I met for coffee there one saturday I was in town. Just a little hole in the wall place but it was good coffee. I bought some caramel machiato decaf grounds at fresh market sunday......OMG it is my new favorite

Okay- here is my UB story... We try to go to UB twice a year, once in the Fall for Christmas presents, once in the Spring for summer stuff.  Last Fall, we went and I looked among the purses for a new purse.  There was a wall with designer purses, the most expensive being "chained" together to prevent stealing.  On down the wall were the "mock" designers.  The girl was placing them out at the time.  I walked around looking for other bargains then decided to go back to purses.  I saw a great looking beige, leather purse in the "mock" area and I grabbed it.  It has a PRADA label on it, in it, all over and was priced at $66.  I purchased it and when we checked out by the back door, the girl reached in and pulled out some papers and a credit card looking card with the Prada item number and registration.  She said she thought it was real and wanted to know where I got it. I told her and she shrugged her shoulders and placed it in the bag. It was closing time and I guess she was ready to leave. Anyway, when I got home, I looked it up and it seemed like a real PRADA.  Weeks later, I took it to the leather shop where they repair designer purses and the guy stated it definately WAS REAL. The papers and card were there for insurance purposes.  He estimated it's value at approx. $1000!!!!!  For a purse???!!!  I could not believe it. My DH wanted to Ebay. I kept it. So, UB i**** or miss.  This past Spring, I got a digital camera for $48 and I use it more than the "nice" camera we purchased.  We found some camping stuff too that was in great condition.  They have a HUGE selection of CDs that are reasonably priced and I got a 3rd Season series of Seinfeld for $12. I also purchased my 6yo an Armani dress for $15 but really, does a 6yo need an Armani dress? Afterall, it probably will end up with ice cream on the front. So that was a stupid purchase that will probably never get worn. Otherwise, I have fun. Have fun shopping.
