{May Has Arrived}

  I sure hope that your May has kicked off to a good start. The heat is settling in quick around our parts.  We've kicked off May with watching our softball girls win the District. Next week we start another round of ball. It's so much fun to watch these girls and especially our girl, Mallory. She plays centerfield.  We were so proud of both teams that played against each other. They all, hand in hand gathered together as one of our girls prayed for the game and also for one of our young men that was in a horrific car accident and fighting. His name is Kaden if you can think to lift him up to our Lord.  I had the opportunity recently to speak to a group of women at a ladies luncheon event at a local church. Oh we had so much fun. I wished I had gotten pictures of the beautiful decorations. We had a TEA PARTY and we each kept the cup that we drank out of it.  Isn't she just lovely? Easter has come and gone but we sure have a great time with family. We gather each...

A few Keepers!

I'm joining Linda at Coastal Charm again this week for another great Nifty Thrifty Tuesday. Be sure to visit her at  http://linda-coastalcharm.blogspot.com and then hop on over to the other Mr. Linky's so you can see all the goodies the other Nifty Thrifty folks got. 
Found this beautiful glass piece which is very heavy at a Thrift Store for $2.99. 
Another glass tea pitcher which is was so hard for me to pass up for $1.99 at the Thrift Store.
Cute butterfly basket for $1.00 at the Thrift Store.


And then I found this thingy-gingy! Is that even a word? I almost didn't get it but then it was only 50 cents! And I passed by it twice and it was one of those deals that I said, "Ok, it is still sitting there when I walk by again...for the 3rd time....I am getting it! Now isn't that just a great way to talk yourself into buying something or either talk yourself out of buying something????? But for 50 cents!!!!
Well, it was still there and it came home with me. Needless to say the ideas are really endless when using this. I have already thought how lovely a cake would look on top of it on a pretty cake plate with flowers at the bottom. Or...a nice bowl of salad sitting nestled on top. Or....or.....or.....


And you know things just ain't normal for me if I don't go by Walmart and to look on the clearance asle.....Found 6 of these plates on the clearance asle that had been marked down to $1 for each. Bought all 6! Love them.
And last but not least my gravy bowl with matching platter that matches my dishes....


My friend Paige that owns Three Palms Resale had this in her shop and as soon as I spied it, yep, just had to have it. I just posted a tablescape recently with my story on my dishes. You can see that here if you'd like http://creationsbycindyphotography.blogspot.com/2010/04/miss-lossies-tablescape.html
That is my goodies for the week.

    What great finds. Heck, I've bought dishes I don't even like at the time for that price. How can you pass them up? I'm on my way to Walmart as soon as I log off.

    How do you find so many good deals? Guess that's why you have eye for things and I don't! I am the purse hunter...and still have problems finding the REAL THING for a small amount of money. Trinity

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...

{A Celebration of Forty Years of Marriage}

Marty and I just celebrated our 40th Wedding Anniversary on September 23rd. On one hand, it seems like it was FOREVER ago that we said "I do" and on the other hand, it really doesn't seem that long ago.   We began dating at the age of 16, married at age 18 and began our family at age 20. WOW! Babies, right? I always said that we grew up with our children.  My friend Janice told me that most people can't commit 40 days much less 40 years and that is so very true. God has been so merciful to us over the years and the grace that He has poured out on us is about more than my little brain can comprehend. We have been truly blessed and we have not deserved one ounce of His blessings!  We have had hard times, bad times, grief, and to be totally honest, there were times we both wondered if we would make it! God has shown us Grace and Mercy over and over again. He sure loves us so much.  The question was asked to me, "What has been y...

{Tea Cup and Mug Exchange} So much fun!

I joined the talented and gifted Stephanie from The Enchanting Rose blog for her tea cup and mug exchange. This was my 3rd time of participating and it was so much fun. Stephanie will be posting on her Blog about the exchange on Wednesday so be sure to hop over there this week and visit.  http://theenchantingrose.blogspot.com/   Linda from https://ladylindateacup.blogspot.com/  was given my name to send a teacup too.   She went above and beyond and needless to say, I could not wait to open my package when it arrived. It felt like Christmas opening up all those sweet packages. I am in love with my new tea cup! Isn't she a beauty? And of course I named her, "LADY LINDA" . Just look at all the sweet things that Lady Linda sent to me! Look at that precious Dress Dish Towel she made for me! So, so cute! It was so nice to make a new blogging friend and I truly do enjoy our exchanges. I was given Margie's name to ...
