Freebies..........

I did not realize I have not posted in a while. It had been very busy at work since we will be closed from Dec 23 to Jan 3.

I can't think of anything interesting to post for now so I decided to show a few things I have received from friends and office mates.

My office mate was brought this to wear at our open house and when she put it on, she did not like it, it was not comfortable. So we exchaned shoes for the night. At the end of the open house, I got my shoes back and this one as well.

A pair of boots given by the same office mate. I think she buys shoes and does not try them or for whatever reason, it seems like she buys them because she likes it and realizes she does not like it.

One more week and I am still finishing my shopping and packing. I hope everyone gets it done soon and just enjoy the rest of the week.







Another freebie

A few months ago, one of my office mates was sent to audit a property in Slave Lake which is a norhtern town. Since she stayed in a hotel and had nothing much to do after office hours, she has done a lot of window shopping/shopping really.

She bought a pair of casual boots and took it home. After getting back to Edmonton, she tried the boots again and realized it was too tight for her. Now, she can't go back to return the boots.

She gave it to me as we wear the same size foot wear. Thanks a lot Jillie.

One Sunday about 2 months ago, I took the elevator and this young lady who always loses her FOB was already inside with a box of what looks like alcohol and a shopping bag from the Bay. While in the elevator she has asked if I drink and I replied "once in a while". She opened the box and gave me a bottle of Ciroc vodka, I did not want to accept it but she was adamant. Then she took a smaller bag from her Bay bag and gave it  to me. As the elevator stopped on her floor, she was even asking if I want the whole box of vodka. I did not take it but she had insisted I take the other bag. When I stepped out of the elevator I looked at the bag and saw these two vases.

To this day I don't understand why and I just took it that I was understanding when she comes to the office to get her new FOB. By the time I was ready to leave for my new job, she told me she found 3 FOBs somewhere in her couch. That costs her $300.00 for replacement and got refunded once she returned the 3 "lost FOBs" which she always calls "swipey".

The vases was from the Gluckstein Home Collection.

Here is another feature I will post once in a while as I get a lot of things from residents in my building. It was not only when I was working here but they still give me stuff even after I have left the office. So here are the latest.

I got these from two different ladies.

These are the most comfortable pair of boots. I wore the black one on Friday and I was ok with it for the whole time I was at work. The white one feels the same way. When I got them, they were in the original box and the price tag was still on.

These scarf and toque was given by another lady who loves to crochet and knit. She is also the lady who taught me how to crochet hats.

This plant I got from work for Thanksgiving and it is quite unusual and it is called Corkscrew Grass and the store (Safeway) only gets them once a year.
