Gimme' 5

Yes, it is the little things

like 

three new 5's 

that make

me happy.

Two red and white ones

and a 

black and white one.

And all three of them

are big.

That makes me a happy girl.

I have a friend that I 

work with,

that is out and about

junking

all the time.

I told her 

if she ever saw any

5's

to grab them 

right up.

And boy did she come through.

All in one weekend too!!

This red and white one

is about two feet tall by one foot wide.

It is a bright red and white.

But this is the great part....

it was $4.

Really.

   This one is tin and it

is about 12 inches tall and 6 inches wide.

It was the most expensive 

of the three

at $10.

I was glad to get it.

Have you ever seen what big 

numbers go for?

It is 

red and white as well.

 

The black and white 

5

was another $4 number.

Really.

It is about 18 inches high and about 10 or so inches across.

That tallies up to be three new 

big 5's

for under $20 total.

Now that's some good finds!

As you can see,

I have long been

collecting 5's.

In case you had not figured out

why I had a fondness for the number,

I cabbage on to 5's

because I am the mother of 5.

Not to mention it is a

pretty darn neat looking

number!

Then I was uploading my

pictures of my new 5's,

I looked at the other pictures I had not

uploaded.

I smiled.

I couldn't help but include one other

 number 5.

That is Luke.

He is number 5 in the pecking order

and apparently number 5

on some summer basketball team

he once was on.

I had taken these pictures of Luke

outside playing basketball this weekend.

How appropriate!

I am linking this up to Metamorphosis Monday and Thrifty Treasures.
