{It's A New Beginning Y'all}

  It's a tad late to wish a  Happy New Year but I sure hope that it's kicked off good for everyone. Ours kicked off with being so THANKFUL for what God has done and is doing. As I told my family as we were reminiscing over 2024, "There is a lot of 2024 I DO NOT WANT A RE-DO but the Lord has surely taught me so very much. I am truly thankful for each breath, each day, family and close friends. We had our three youngest grands for New Years Eve. We had a great time and the girls enjoyed a little fishing, bonfire with their great-grandfather and roasting marshmallows. Their great-grandfather will be 90 years old next month. As most of you know I do a monthly focus board and this makes my 3rd or 4th year. I've lost count. Only fitting that New Beginnings would be my focus for January. This has been so good for me as it sits on my kitchen counter so I can see it daily. Wonderful way to focus and quote God's Word daily.  I felt up to hosting a lunch and movie day with ...

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

    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!

    Stopping by to catch up a bit. Loved seeing your new treasures. Your garden breakfast pieces are wonderful. It was a good garage sale day. I need to get out and do some 'garaging'!

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...

{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...

{It's Been A Hot Minute Y'all}

  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...
