Shiner was our first English Setter who taught me the value of "stopping to smell the roses" ... or in her case swimming after a duck, chasing a worn-out frisbee, or hunting down the RIGHT stick thrown in the woods.

We should all enjoy life as much as Shiner did ... so I choose to look through Shiner's View ...

Cabin Thrifting

I love Value Village!  Presenting last night's finds for the cabin ...

No more hauling the Cuisinart from house to house ... look at this workhorse ...

Yup ... you read it right ... $7.99.  Why you ask?  The blade is missing.  Following a quick trip to Amazon when we returned home, sometime next week we will have a working Cuisinart at the cabin for around $30 (including the blade)!  A quick trip through the dishwasher for the moving parts and a little bleach on the base and we are good to go!

John  has 'volunteered' to make 2 more Adirondack chairs for the cabin ... so of course, I needed more stadium blankets for those chilly nights ... found two in perfect condition, for $2.99 and $3.99 respectively.

Someday I'll share the love affair I had with Craigslist when we built the cabin 2 years ago ;-)

All the best
Lisa
