This is a double use sign. It tells people that winter is The worst AND upsets people who hate puns! It makes them flurrious! #ErynThrifts

We are still teasing our cat for trying to sleep in this box last week. (She's actually tiny!)

Everybody. Look at my cat. Look at her!!! Okay stop, you'll use her all up!! You've had enough!

Often I will spot a really excellent cat stamp inside a big bag of stamps while thrifting but I don't want to pay for stamps I don't want, so I pass.

But today I found a bag that was all excellent cat stamps, for under $4! #ErynThrifts

If you can get Cher to settle down in one place for awhile, you are obviously a god

Oh! Great point! I do see a ton of partial sets while thrifting!

Now what I really should do is invent a modular one that can absorb losing a piece...

Reminds me of the old post about the crucial but missing 4th ice cream bowl.

Okay hivemind! If you have a divided platter, do you prefer a one-piece design or do you like a modular design?

All of the modular ones seem to include a base/carrier, so I'm not sure it saves any storage space.

Pottery or Ceramics feed, which do you prefer making? Is one more popular?

Little Mama Kitty update for those who need it.

The cooler temps have made her snuggly again. She hasn't been in my lap since she discovered & laid claim to the window shelf looking out into the backyard (& front row seat to the hummingbird feeders) in late spring.

This. Hands down. Not even making a "gold medal" pun.

It's our Wreckaversary, the day my youngest child & I celebrate not dying in a rollover accident! We're making a Basque cheesecake!

Much love to all my Twitter girls who were with me then & are still with me now! <3 Love you lots!

It's 9:45pm! And that means....

I did it. I made it to the pottery studio & as always, I'm glad I went.

Worked on a ordering project & some ornament commissions. This one is for someone who is moving.

I KNEW they were in WA & OR, but they're actually in 7 states! Not pictured: Alaska's 3 Franz outlet locations

If you live in Washington or Oregon & are needing to make your food dollars stretch, see if you have a Franz bread outlet store near you. This was $13 today, TOTAL.

About a quarter of the store is quick sale items, most is first run items. Many of their stores also sell dairy, jams, mayo, etc.

What's your tattoo, Ron Currie? A symbol of the torture, starvation & slaughter of 6 million Jews + 250,000 U.S. military deaths?

We DO know! My tribal arm band tattoo is dated but it is apples & oranges compared to a Nazi symbol. It marks me as an elder millennial, not a 🚨DANGER TO MINORITIES!🚨

Absolutely amazing retro Minnesota Catfish Derby Days coffee mugs I'm hoping to add to my Etsy shop this week. Can't decide which is the best one & am having a hard time parting with both of them. #ErynThrifts

Took these stunning photos earlier tonight because my eyes are terrible & I couldn't tell what type of owl was in our yard.

Guess I know where all the doves have been going now!

90% sure it's a barred owl. (Western WA)

LOL Agreed!

We went to Dairy Queen when my eldest was 6 & she wanted to order this super spicy hamburger. 1: She didn't like spice at all then & 2: We don't eat beef. We asked some Qs & found out it was because she wanted to breathe fire.

She grew up with a healthy skepticism about the world.

Me, just a wee smol Marine combat vet, watching any hugely popular WWII movie: Weird, that Nazi has my tattoo on his hat. I'm sure it's nothing, teehee.
