Well, it's not HOT in my neck of the woods in temperature (not today anyway) but it's sure been a HOT minute since I last posted. For that I am so sorry but it seems my life has been consumed with doctor appointments, tests, and MORE tests, biopsies, surgery and so much more. One day at a time sweet Jesus is all that any of us can ask for. Wanted to pop in on this beautiful Sunday afternoon to share a little about what I've been up too. Marty and I enjoyed a weekend at the beach before I had breast cancer surgery and took advantage of the time I had in between so many doctor appointments and testing. It was sure a good little getaway. We celebrated our 47th wedding anniversary in September. WOW! Just babies! LOL! We were high school sweethearts. Started dating at age 16. Married at age 18 and started a family at age 20. We celebrated Marty's birthday in October. He says that he's feeling his age these days. LOL! He still works 4 days a week and has a long commu...
I am so excited to join Linda for her 5th Nifty Thrifty Tuesday. This has been so much fun and each week I am excited to see all the other blogger's "Nifty Thrifty" stuff! Check out Linda's blog over at http://linda-coastalcharm.blogspot.com
I decided to Yard Sale instead of "Thrift-storing". Had a ball!
The first yard sale I went to my eyes went straight to this cute cheese board with cloche. As soon as my eyes saw the price on it for $1.00....I grabbed that little cutie and paid for it right then. Love it! It even had two spreaders with it!!!!
Those of you that know me know I LOVE me some Jewells!
Found these darling necklaces...one was 25 cents, one was 50 cents and one was 75 cents.
And I just thought these two little gold spoons would be so cute used on a tablescape. Especially when I got both for 25 cents!
Now I did pay a little more for these wooden curtain tie backs than I really wanted to but...I saw a project involving the use of plates!!!! So, paid $3 for em'.
This plate was so pretty to me! I paid 50 cents for it. The detail on the plate is beautiful! On the back it had a date of 1971. I will be using this.....
And I just couldn't pass up this cute little wooden bowl. I am a sucker for wooden bowls. It was 25 cents.
For $1.00 I got this salt/pepper shaker-grinder. It is so neat. For the salt, you just shake it and for the pepper, you set the amount of grinding you want with a little knob and grind away.
And last but not least...a silver plated creamer and sugar dish with the tray for?????????????????????????????FREE!
In conversation with the lady hosting the yard sale I was telling her about my hosting a Lemonade party for a few of our young moms from church in May and that the creamer/sugar dish would be so cute to use on my table. After a few minutes talking "church talk", she said, "Here sweetie, just take this and use it for your little lemonade party!". She was so sweet!
I've enjoyed my "Nifty Thrifty" shopping. Have a good week!
