August evening miscellaneousness

Yay! I now have 8 followers!! Thank you Jenny for rounding it out to a lovely, even number :)

Has it ever occurred to anybody that wine labels are mini works of art?












































I think wine is beautiful and so cool and classy and refined. What would you say if I told you I got this bottle at Aldi for $2.99? You'd probably say I just blew all chances at being considered classy and refined. But that's ok, because it's not what I'm about. I'm all about getting the best bargains. They always make my day. This evening I had another successful Craigslist transaction. I wish I had started keeping track years ago - it would be my "Craigslist Savings Journal" and I could have recorded all the successful transactions and how much money they saved me. Ah well, hindsight is 20/20. Anyways, I have no children/babies, so I don't know yet what I will use these for. But they were ridiculously cute and the right price






















Anybody like to watch TV shows? Well we're hooked on Battlestar Galactica right now (I know, I've heard it a million times, don't even try to make fun of me for watching a show with that title). Here's Sammy lounging on the couch watching with us, trying to distract me with his adorable expressions.
























And my two favorite guys hanging out on the couch with me

Sorry - Winking Owl is really...really gross. And I am in love with all things owl AND an indiscriminate wine drinker.

Cute pictures, though.

That owl is definitely mini art! I'm kindof keen on big birds. I love seeing hawks when I'm driving....I have always wanted to see an owl upclose and personal. I love paintings of owls so this is super cute!

I have always wanted to see an owl in real life too. How is it that I've seen a bald eagle, but not an owl? I didn't realize they were that rare.
Sorry Ard, I still like Winking Owl, the wine itself, not just the label :) But I warned you that I was not a connoisseur...

Hey Lydia!
Once you drink that wine, toss the bottle in the oven at 250 for a couple of minutes. The heat makes the glue loosen and then you can pull off the label and voila! your new "work of art".
