Bebe's Cupboard

A vintage store on Markham St was having a closing sale and I scored this whole lot for $10.

Bought this to frame and hang in my kitchen. Apparently the music is great, too - bonus!

Yard sale win! $5 for this amazing vintage breadbox. There’s no more room in our little kitchen, but I’m gonna find a place for this.

We’ve been looking for a new dresser, and I spotted this one on the curb on my way home from work. The elderly lady at the house said her daughter had gotten a new one, and threw this one out. Then she offered to watch it for me while I went home to get the car. By the time I got back, she had a man waiting to help me put it in the car. Then she said “god bless you” and blew me a kiss. Best furniture acquisition ever!

An indispensable kitchen item when you live in a one vegetarian, one omnivore household.

Deal of a lifetime hutch! I paid $20 for it, plus another $20 in supplies to fix it up (sandpaper, stain, varnish). If you look closely there are some flaws still, but it’s pretty sweet for $40.

I found a set of 4 of these + one saucer at an indoor yard sale I popped into on my way to Gamercamp. WHAT A FIND. They’re Susie Cooper and I got the whole set for $10. Yessss.

For those who don’t know the story of Moe, he was a foster dog my sister took in after he was rescued from a puppy mill. Other dogs she’s fostered have had health issues, but none as bad as Moe. His leg just flopped around, owing to the fact that it was broken when he was very young and never treated. The vet said it was the worst X-Ray he had seen in 30 years. So, Moe needed surgery. 

Thanks to the efforts of very generous friends and strangers, a great deal of money was raised for Moe’s surgery. My sister paid off the rest of the vet bill bit by bit. And as Moe started to heal from his surgery and adjust to life on three legs, his forever home was found. 

After everything he’s been through, Moe is still friendly, happy and full of energy. He deserves nothing less than the perfect home, and that’s what he found. His new owner drove all the way from Vermont to pick him up in Ottawa. The couple who adopted him live in the country, with five acres of land - part of it fenced - for Moe to run around in. Because he tires easily at the dog park, the yard means once he’s done running he can just plop down and have a nap. The husband of the couple works at home during the winter - more time for Moe! - and volunteers at an animal shelter three days a week. They’ve had dogs before, and are going to get a playmate for Moe once he’s settled in. 

I’m so happy that Moe is getting a chance at a great life. Go Moe!

Magical forest dream home!
