{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...

TUESDAY TOOTS and Bunny Hop Party

I am joining Bunny Jean at http://bunnyjeansdecorandmore.blogspot.com/ so we can hop around and see all the goodies posted. It has been Yard Sale Time for me. I love the yard sale season. Though I must admit I take it by spells. Some times I may stop at every yard sale listed in my county and other times I only visit a couple. Lately I have made off like a bandit with only stopping at a few! Now to see my loot.....

Isn't this beautiful? 


There wasn't any dinner plates but there was 4 salad plates, 4 dessert plate, 4 saucers and 4 cups.(All for $5) Not to shabby huh?


Adorable Little Rooster! 50 cents


Salt and pepper shakes for 50 cents


Ice bucket for $2. I just love this!(with the scoop)


Two cute little white bowls for 50 cents



Of course since I decided to do a beach tablescape I just had to have this. Especially for 25 cents.


4 clear cups with saucers for $2


I thought this to be an unusual platter.


Look at the design! SEA SHELLS!!!!! And it goes so well with my beach decor for $1.00


8 Christmas Glasses for 25 cents each....YEP, $2 for the set of 8.



What do you think about my cute little basket for $1?


I almost passes this by until I saw a little humming bird on it and decided I just had to have it. $1.00


And who can pass up a nice, heavy glass platter? Especially when it is $1.00? Of course my Husband asked me what I needed with another glass platter? I have a whole shelf of beautiful glass platters....but I really needed this one too! LOL!


And last but not least an old colander for 25 cents! Now hubby can quit borrowing my stainless steel nice colander when he cooks outside! He has his own!


Sure have enjoyed tootin on the loot! Think I done pretty good don't you?

Hugs and blessings, Cindy

    Makes me want to go yard saleing. Don't know where I would put anything, but always love the thrill of the hunt. You found some great buys. I used to collect Moss Rose china. That is a fantastic buy. The Christmas Goblets would go with my dishes. I love the old colander. Who can't use another glass platter? Looking forward to seeing your beach tablescape.

    Wow! You scored big time! I love your loot, what great prices too. My favorite are the dishes and you can use a basic white dinner plate with them. Thanks for your greetings to my mom....Christine

    Hi Cindy!

    You found a lot of great stuff this time! I would love to have found that shell platter and beachy candle. The platter looks kind of sandy... it will be nice for your beach tablescape.

    Thanks for sharing at my party :)

    Wow, you certainly have cheap garage sales where you live, I can't beleive those fabulous prices! We hardly have any sales around here and they are so expensive-well I really mean it is just junk priced too high-LOL. Have you made any of the cake or cookie stands with the clear glass plates and platters and candle sticks? I made a ton on my blog, they are fabulous for giving cakes and cookies as a gift, who wouldn't like to get a nice cake plate filled with goodies? I am your newest follower.

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...
