Found Three Pennies Today

Today I took a walk and found three pennies:

• one in the street
• one in a parking space
• one in an office building parking lot

While on my walk I saw a really funny sign. Check it out here:  Looking at Things from a different perspective. 

I'll be listing this beautiful necklace in my Etsy shop today or tomorrow. It's gorgeous but I've only worn it a few times. It's time for it to go to a new home where someone will show it off more often.

What about you? Find anything interesting (money or otherwise) lately?

Found 11 Cents on a Walk

I took a walk and found a penny beside the sidewalk in some dirt then found another penny in a parking lot. 

As I was walking to my place, I found a small pile of debris in a parking space. In the pile were four pennies and a nickel! These coins are a mess as you can see from the photo. Oh well, good enough for my found money jar!

Happy Labor Day, everyone! Hope you all get to rest at least part of the day.

Took a Walk, Had a Sauna, Found a Penny

It's hot again today (I know, shocking news), but I just went for a tiny walk (maybe 10 minutes). I walked across the street to the office building parking lot and found a penny! It had been a while, but I finally found another coin there!

Oh, I just watched a really good documentary today on Netflix. I wrote a short post about it:  Hitler's Children.  

If you haven't see it, I highly recommend it. It's also available on Amazon Prime or as a DVD. To check it out, click the image.

Have a good rest of your Sunday!

Found a Penny in the Parking Lot Across the Street

I've been feeling poorly. It's just a cold, I think, but it keeps lingering. So, I haven't been out and about much lately. I did go to the post office and grocery store the other day but have mostly been staying home.

Today I decided to get myself dressed, take out the trash, and go for a little walk. I walked across the street to the office building parking lot where I often find coins. I found this penny!

I posed it next to some bottle cap earrings I made and am selling in my Etsy shop. Since most the bottle caps are from Mexican beer, I cut up a taco box for display.

Have you found any money recently? Have you eaten any tacos?

Found Six Pennies in a Parking Lot

Today I took a walk and as I was almost home, I crossed the street and checked out a parking lot near my house. I've found money there before so figured I'd give it a whirl. Sure enough, in one parking space I spotted three pennies then I walked on and found three more pennies! Woo hoo!

I posed them next to some lovely vintage rick rack I bought yesterday. Isn't the label nice? Well, I like it. 

In case you're jealous, here's some rick rack that's available on Amazon. Yes, you too can dress up your whatever you want to dress up with some rick rack.

Took a Long Walk and Found Four Pennies

Today I took a fairly long walk (an hour). Anyway, that's long for me. But it's been cold, actually getting below freezing at night, and I felt like I needed to get some sunshine on my back. I've been cold!

So, I headed out and walked around the neighborhood. I was heading home, empty handed when I spotted a penny on the sidewalk. 

Then I detoured into a church parking lot and found another penny.  Then I walked around a parking lot of some small office buildings, where, you guessed it, I found a third penny! 

I was feeling very lucky so headed home. In the parking lot of my complex, I found another penny. Woo hoo!

Have you found any money lately? Do tell!
