Went to Claremore today; got my hair cut; met a friend; visited with her, THEN, went to the Habitat for Humanity ReStore shop. I took my friend, C., who had never been to a ReStore shop. This was my first time to go to the one in Claremore. I wasn't impressed. I like the one in Tulsa MUCH more! It's ten times bigger!! However, I did find an old blue and white speckled coffee pot for $7.00, with all the perculator parts!! LOVE!

Then.....I went to a new little crafty/antique mall. Found quite a few interesting things at reasonable prices. I only bought one thing though. It's a gorgeous, old raggedy door, with a missing glass pane on the top half of the door. Someone had the generosity to sand the door completely down. In fact, I can see just a few tiny specks of white paint that they missed. There is just a bit of carving on the bottom half of the door, nothing elaborate, just very simple lines. I love it. I'm thinking I'll do either a white wash or do the exact opposite end of the extreme spectrum and paint it a lovely shade of turquoise, add a screen where the glass once was, then sand some paint off and antique it. After that, it may become a prop for Morgan's jewelry at our next craft show, or I may just lean it up against the wall and let it look pretty! Oh!! The best part of this purchase? It was $15.00!
