{Happy Resurrection Day}

I hope that you all have enjoyed this beautiful Easter Sunday. He is risen! I wanted to end the month of March in sharing a few of my favorite photos from the month.  Celebrated my favorite grandsons birthday. Conner is 18 now!  Our beautiful Mallory Grace all decked out for the prom. The youngest grands (sisters) were flower girls in their uncle's wedding. The oldest one was in her element of dress up. The younger one, not so much. THAT HAIR BAND ITCHED HER HEAD she said!  I purchased a new pair of wedges that I love. I am always skeptical about ordering shoes or clothing but read the reviews on Amazon and went for it. Love the color and the style.  The youngest grand loves to take selfies and play with the filters.  Marty colored Easter eggs. He always colors at least a dozen every year. He always says he's doing it for the grands but I know he does it because of the inner child in him! LOL! I went with the little ones to Disney on Ice and we had the best time. I think I enjo

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.

    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 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
