Happy May!

Happy May! I wanted to pop in and share a few pictures from my month of April which seemed to fly by quickly. As I am trying to catch up with my blogging friends today I realized it had been a month since I last posted. My mercy! But, I am so busy doing this thing we call life here on earth and enjoying every moment that I can. With my immediate family of 14 there is never a dull moment y'all!   We had three family birthdays in April. My SIL David, granddaughter Adalynn and oldest granddaughter Raygen.  Our favorite grandson Conner (only grandson) carried his girl to the prom. We had to snap at least one picture with Mom and Nana! Two of my elementary school friends and I get together at least once every 4-5 weeks so we went to breakfast and then to  Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens. We always have so much fun.  The gardens are so beautiful that I couldn't even attempt to snap all the pictures I wanted. There are so many beautiful paintings to look at this but this was one of

Tuesday Toots and Yard Sale Loot!

OOH...love me a good yard sale! Haven't been in a while so took a couple of hours and decided to treat myself. 

Don't you love these????


And of course I could not PASS THIS UP! 



I just love this pitcher. I have several like this in different sizes.


This is Tupperware and I have one exactly like this one that I've had for years and I use it to make tea in for big family gatherings! Now I've got another one! I might use this one to store my flour in with my sifter! Dang I'm becoming more and more like my granny!


This will be cute for Easter.



I see a paint job with a project coming up for this wooden piece.


I can't hardly pass up a cute basket!


Quart size paint cans! Looks like a craft with the grands coming up!


More jars.....I really needed wanted these! And for 10 cents each...dang...just had to snatch em!



Cute pumpkin basket don't ya think?



Sweet little music note ornaments!



I spied a couple of decorative vintage cans that I couldn't resist getting.




Cute salad set contains a glass salad bowl, wooden stand it sits in, wooden spoon and fork and the glass oil and vinegar bottles. I loved it. (Got it washing as I type)



 Then I found this at another yard sale and thought...this will be so cute with the salad set to put seasoning in for the salad.


 I think it goes nicely with the salad set.



Love this! Going in my laundry room.



This still had the tag on it as you can see. There's so many different ways to use this.

 Two floating shelves. Only needs a quick coat of paint.

 I love this crystal vase.
 

 Just a little bit of a makeover on this piece and I think I have the perfect spot for it!


Well girls...not too shabby for a mere $25.25. 
 
Which of my treasures do you like the best?

Happy Tuesday!

Hugs and blessings, Cindy

    What great finds, Cindy!! I don't think I could have passed any of those up either. I have to say, I'm pretty partial to that glass pitcher. Can't wait to see what you'll do with each of your new 'projects.' Don't forget to post their updates! Hugs! Z

    Great treasures Cindy. If I had to pick only one for my favorite it would be the salad set. That would go so well with my kitchen!

    My first thought, Cindy, was--"we should be garage sale-ing together!" then I thought, "No, we can't go together because we'd want the same things!" LOL . What good, fun bargains you found! ~Zuni

      Zuni, I might have to do you like my precious motherinlove used to us girls. We'd go yard-saleing and she would tell us to sit in the car and if she saw something good she would come back and get us!!! Of course that meant she got all the good stuff first. Strangest thing...WE MINDED HER TOO!

    I love garage sales and it's the season for them isn't it. We are trying to clean out, so I have to really try to restrain myself but I'm sure I'll be out there hunting for that perfect deal. I know it may sound crazy but my favorite of your "finds" are those glass jars. There a steal at 10 cents. Just think they could be future jars of salsa or gussied all up and b made into a table ornament.

    OH my goodness! You got so many great treasures!! I can't decide what I like best!! That Tupperware canister brings back memories. I bet the paint cans will be a fun craft project with the grands! The floating shelves and little furniture piece will be awesome I'm sure!

    Hi Cindy, well I can't pick a favorite. You found so many great treasures I love them all.
    You sure hit the jackpot on your yard saleing!! Love the last cabinet and look forward to your makeover. I do love the etched pitcher too and I have a Pyrex bowl very similar in pattern.
    Have fun decorating and creating with your pretties.

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

{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

{SON-Flowers}

Don't you just love sunflowers? When I think about sunflowers I think of two things. My motherinlove who loved sunflowers and Fall. I came across a devotional written by Julia Bettencourt on sunflowers and thought it so appropriate for today as I wanted to share my sunflowers with you. Here's a few lessons we can learn from the sunflower.    Sunflowers Track The Sun.   Most plants are attracted to light but the flowering head of the sunflower actually tracks the sun following it's path and moving toward where it is in the sky all during the day. I read somewhere that sunflowers track the sun when they are in bud stage. Isn't that how it usually goes for us as Christians? When we first come to know the Lord, we get excited about knowing all about Him and living for Him, but after awhile we sometimes grow a little preoccupied with other things and get our eyes off of the Lord.   Wouldn't it be great if as a Christian we'd track th
