{March is well under way}

February days are now gone and March has officially kicked in.   I finally purchased a new monthly focus board.  We ventured out for a day date which included a movie. I love our day dates. I will give my honest review about the movie for those interested. I wanted to see this movie as it was based on a true story. I did enjoy the movie but oh my, it was a tear jerker from the get go! It ended good but mercy! Let's just say that I am thankful that no one was sitting close enough to see my tear stained face. I am glad that I saw it but I am good for a while on sad movies, even if they do end good!   My oldest daughter, her husband and their son participated in the Spartan race which is a series of obstacle courses that challenge. They done so well. As you can see from the pictures it gets pretty muddy!  My three daughters participate each year in the Gate River Run. I love it that they do this together. They have so much support & encouragement from all the onlookers. I am just

Tuesday Toots

Joining Linda over at http://linda-coastalcharm.blogspot.com/ for Nifty Thrifty Tuesday.

I must say I totally scored with the yard sales! Didn't have much time to yard sale but I would say I done good!

Look at all my LOOT!



So here we go.....I love a good yard sale!

LOVED this pitcher! Especially when the girl said it was $3.00! Will match my green plates I just purchased for my little garden breakfast.


It was my lucky day matching things up for my garden breakfast! Adorable salt and pepper shakers for 50 cents.



Bowl and Saucer $1.00 (Sitting on my front porch with some bird seed! I am conducting a test! I want to see if the squirrels eat up my bird see out of this like they do out of my bird feeder! (LOL)


Oh yeah....loving these cuties for a grand total of 50 cents



Isn't this piece beautiful! Couldn't pass it up for $3



Cup and saucer for 25 cents. I couldn't believe that is all it was marked!



I seldom pass up an opportunity of buying greenery should I find some cheap! I am always needing some kind of greenery. Got this for $3


Okay, these little things was just sitting in the bowl and saucer so the girl didn't charge me extra for them. She said "just take them cause I don't even know what they are or how I got them". Well remember the days of  macrame? Well, I have another idea...Will show that to you when I get the project done!


I have one of these that is smaller but couldn't pass up a larger one for 25 cents!



Ooh La La! Beautiful emerald green earrings for 50 cents



Another pair for 50 cents


Necklace and bracelet for $1.25



Love this chandelier for $3.00. Grace over at www.growoldwithgrace.com shared post recently showing how she used a chandelier in her back yard....I feel in the love with the idea! (Pictures to come on this)


And the table that is holding all my scores was only $5. I am redoing a spare bedroom and turning it into a play room for the grands...what better place to put this cute red table!


My yard sale time might have been short but I sure scored don't ya think?  Nothing like being able to TOOT about your LOOT! 

Hugs and blessings, Cindy

  15. Oh! Making me hungry for a good romp around the neighborhood chasing yard sales this weekend! Waiting for payday, though. Looking for some props and always tea things - and vintage toys! Bought a box of 100 year old books - give or take a decade - for $10!! They were going to throw them away if they didn't sell them! Ya! Enjoyed your loot - inspired!
    Joy!

Hiding the Ugly Hot Water Heater

 I shared that I wanted to hide my ugly hot water heater in my laundry room with you a few weeks ago. It just stuck out like a sore thumb. But after all it is a hot water heater right? So my man took a piece of wood (not real wood) but it worked and built a frame for me. So now to see if it would fit and it did. I painted it white and did not like the texture it had even after two coats of white. (rule of thumb...you get what you pay for and the wood was cheap) But I wasn't going to let it whip me!  Found some contact paper at Walmart in the gray and white. Covered the front with the contact paper and loved the look. The top was covered with a piece of painted wood as well and worked perfect to place this on top... And this.... Added a clothes basket in the corner and here was the top.... Yep, no longer an eye sore to me! Went perfect with my gray walls and gray and white floor. Remember the wood tray I bought at a yard

{Another Fun Filled Weekend}

I hope you all are doing well. I am trying to wind down for the night and thought I would try and get a post out. Girls, by this time I am in my fat clothes and recliner smashing that remote control!   Marty and I kicked off our weekend by having a little fun food as I call it,  "charcuterie" style out by the pond. Of course I always fix more than we need or eat but it sure was good.  Two of our granddaughters had dance recitals over the weekend so we got to watch them perform and oh my! They were just the cutest things ever.  We were blessed to be able to see them perform. Then we celebrated a birthday for this sweet grandgirl! She was excited about being double digits . And besides all the fun from the weekend I was able to see some of my pretties in bloom.  Now to enjoy a cup of coffee.... I hope that you all have a wonderful, blessed week.  Hugs and blessings, Cindy

{Happy 46th Wedding Anniversary To Us}

  Happy October everyone! I wanted to pop in today and share a few pictures. Marty and I celebrated our 46th wedding anniversary on September 23.  Oh it seems so long ago that we said "I Do". We started dating when I was 16. Married at 18 and began a family at 20. Needless to say we have surely grown up together. Praise the Lord that we are growing "Older" together.  We decided since it had been about 8-9 years since we had been to Savannah, Ga. that we would take a weekend there and just enjoy a scenic luncheon cruise.  We enjoyed walking River street and sightseeing, shopping and eating of course! It was a nice get away and perfect for us as we are simply two imperfect people that fit perfectly together.  I did spot Santa while in Savannah though! YES, I love Christmas so I had to stop at several Christmas shops! We've had outings that have kept us quite busy and we have surely been blessed to be able to attend our grands functions and our little outings toget
