Looking for one of these

I am looking for a kleenex box with the hair and dolls face on it. They were a 50's thing and I cannot find one anywhere. If you look at the bottom of this page I have added a photo of what I am looking for. If anyone has one of these or could make one, I am on the hunt.

Hooked on Clear Plastic!

Today was slow at the store as I think every one of our customers was in this weekend for the sale. :) It gave me time today to do some displays for the store. I worked a lot with the clear plastic and I am HOOKED! Stop by the store and see the things I have done with it. I also watched about 5 DIY Scrapbooking shows. If you are ever in scrapbooking we have a DVR and record all the shows and you can watch them while you are working.

On the way home I stopped at OSKI's ice cream parlor in Gretna to pick up a menu as I am working on a bunch of OSKI's scrapbook pages for a lady and there was a boy working there who must have been about 10 years old. It made me miss my daughter Ruth so much. Ruth is 8 and she had come to work with me every day over the summer and we had so much fun! She loved all the dress up items in the Diva Room and would dance around the store all the time. She did not want to go back to school this fall and wanted me to home school her. I think if Precious Treasures makes it for another 10 years Ruth will be the one who takes it over. My other daughter Liz whop works at the store on weekends wants to be a missionary and was talking over the weekend about moving to Africa. Liz has the biggest heart and love the Lord so much! I am very proud of her.

Isn't she a hoot!

Being extremely menopausal I do not sleep. So I have been up hunting on e-bay for some cute stuff to put on the cabinet they brought for the window display today. Check out the photo of this mannequin head I found. Isn't she a hoot? "SO DIVA" I hope I win on e-bay!!

September Newsletter

We got new software to do the newsletter and that is why it is late this month. There is a whole sheet of coupons in it! You should receive it tomorrow as I just sent it to the person who sends it to the mailing list. Let me know if you have any problems opening it.

Sidewalk Sale Continued on September 8

Normally we are closed on Monday but we were doing our sidewalk sale. Today was the last day of it and we were only going to be open from 10-2. We had a store full of people from the time we got there at 9am until 5:30 when there was finally no one in the store and Liz and I hurried and closed as I needed to make it to Office Depot before 6. We got there but they were already closed. :( So we went to Michaels to use our coupon since we cannot use it at our own store. hee hee (we accept the Michael's 40% off coupons at Precious Treasures) Anyway I got the most beautiful jar at Michaels with my coupon. I will take a photo of it tomorrow once I have it filled. My husband and son brought over this wonderful cabinet I have had at my house to use for a window display today so I am hoping to use the jar in it. I first have to clean the store as with the 3 day sale it is trashed. We have four more 18 gallon rubbermaid totes of items we just found tonight that the guys did not get taken out of the suburban that we did not even get out as he brought them today. We will do another sidewalk sale next Saturday with our 10 year CELEBRATION! People loved all the bargains this weekend and one lady got three huge bags of items today and it only came to like twenty dollars! We are in a generous mood as we are so thankful to ALL of our customers for 10 wonderful years! You all are blessings to us! Thank You!
