It's 'thrifty thursday' again and I am joining Lady Cordelia with another, all time favorite, thrifted item.
Everybody else can just kiss my squirrel, because it doesn't get better than this.
Can you say Sesame. Street. Carafe.
And you're thinking "Awww, what a fun little thing for the kids."
Nyet.
My poor urchins have never seen Sesame Street because we ain't got cable.
This is mine.
Ernie and Bert are mine. Big damn Bird is mine.
Della calls him 'Big Chicken' for Christ's sake.
Yes, I will serve them some limeade out of it on a good day, but I'm talking the house red wine, or the other night I poured creamy hot chai out of it at my Naked Party.

It was fifty cent.
Mwa ha ha ha ha.
Well, I'm jealous! I am a huge Bert and Ernie fan [ did you know they were named after characters in the movie 'It's a Wonderful Life'?]
ReplyDeleteNaked Party? I guess I really need to call and not just show up at your home yelling "Surprise" I'm here from SC for a visit! :)
Oh get out of town!!! How very cool is that! Thanks for the morning laugh Ivey! You are such a riot!
ReplyDeleteThat must be worth more than fifty cents! Love it. I grew up on Sesame Street :)
ReplyDeleteEverything is better with Sesame Street....and Grover :)
ReplyDeleteThat is cool! Can't wait to hear about your naked party...
ReplyDeleteI'm totally green! Enjoy that fifty cent treasure. I wouldn't share it either. :D
ReplyDeleteI love that so many ways...will it to me sister. Do you remember my white tennis shoes with sesame street characters on the rubber part all away around it!?! I do. They were my favorite! Do you remember the Tweedle Bugs that lived in Ernie's planter box. Be still my beating heart. Mr. Hopper. Bert and the Pigeon Dance. The Monster at the end of this BOOK ( which I have) Grover. Lena Horne singing. One, Two, Three, FOUR, FIVE, Six, Seven, Eight Nine Ten eleven, TTWWELLVVEE! ( Pinball Machine Graphics), and boy going to store (also cartoon) to buy butter, a loaf of bread, blah...GOOD STUFF.
ReplyDeletemy 5 year old does the pigeon dance from the Old School Sesame. You CAN buy DVD's of Old School and they rock harder than before.
DeleteI"m a little jealous! We are watching a lot of Sesame Street these days.
ReplyDeleteMwa ha ha ha ha indeedy doo!
ReplyDeleteI'll be over with some fine red wine!
XOXOXOXO
I totally would have bought the pitcher without kids, but I've got to say my girls would dig it. Olive calls him "Earmee and Fert." You and the hubs should mix up some adult smoothies, margaritas or something, and toast to Sesame Street! Sweet find, friend.
ReplyDeleteNaked party? Can we just fact forward to next Thursday?
ReplyDeletehee hee. so funny. yay for you!
