{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-Mountain Loot!

Well, if you followed me on my vacation to the mountains then you know that I shopped a little lot! Most of my stops was Thrift Stores and Antique Stores but I did do a little shopping at other places as well.  Wanted to share some of little finds on my trip.

Isn't she just a sweet little thing? I named her Precious! The reason I decided on naming her that was because there was an older lady behind me in line as I waited to pay for my items and when she saw my cup and saucer she said in a more southern drawl that I do..."Well now ain't she just precious! So that is how she got her name.

I call this one "Pretty in Pink". She too just had to come home with me.

 She had a few blemishes here and there but so do I!!!

This pitcher caught my eye. I couldn't decide on whether I really wanted it or not but the more I looked at it the more I decided I needed wanted it.



I spotted these plates and fell in love....What ya think? 



Saw these cute salt and pepper shakers at a yard sale while traveling to the mountains. I can spot a yard sale sign a mile down the road so needless to say we stopped at several while going and coming from the mountains. 



Awe...now how pretty is this? Don't you just love the cloche?



And we can't never have enough white dishes! 

Another yard sale find!

I picked up this cute little mug and matching bowl at another yard sale.




This Vintage suitcase was a Salvation Army find. I have a vintage suitcase like this one that belonged to my grandparents sitting in my "little girly room" as my husband calls it. So this one went in there as well.





Love the color of this but then I love the Fiesta colors!

A piece of Pottery that looked like it just had a story to it! Of course when I said that to the husband he said, "The story is that it's UGLY!  LOL! I think I am going to actually have the perfect spot for this piece of pottery!

Lavender Napkins Rings! This store had tons of lavender napkins rings marked down to 1/2 price. They will go perfect with a tablescape that I have in mind.


Bought two sets of these cute mugs. Plain but just enough color and design on them to give them a personality. Will be using these with a tablescape as well.



Now I feel in love with these! Yep, bought me a service for 8.

I see some lavender and green coming together for a Spring Tablescape maybe????
I've been looking for a creamer and sugar dish that would somewhat tie into my St. Patricks Tablescape but that I could also use for something else. Saw these and thought, YEP, think they will work.


And I've got to share with you that two years ago I picked up these cute salt and pepper shakers from a yard sale for 50 cents. I had them on my table that I had decorated for Saint Patrick's Day and when I brought the creamer and sugar dish home I could not believe how much they favored.


Now the cute part is that the sugar and creamer is Corelle and the Salt and Pepper is Paula Dean! It hit me...dang, I got a Paula Dean salt and pepper shaker for 50 cents!!!! LOL! Corelle wasn't that generous! 

Hope you enjoyed browsing my Loot this week! I sure enjoyed bringing it all home! LOL! 

Stay tuned this week....Saint Patty's Day Tabelscape!

Floral piece on my dining room table for St. Patrick's Day

Hugs and blessings, Cindy

    Loved seeing all your goodies! So many neat things! I see a lot of tablescapes in your future with all those pretties!

    I'm planning to post an Irish tablescape tomorrow, if I get the photos taken, etc.

    Thanks for sharing, makes me want to go "hunting!"

    I love seeing your finds. You hit the jackpot, my friend! Can't wait to see your St. Patrick's Day tablescape. I'm not doing any special decorating this year - there's too much going on and survival is the goal for each day!

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

{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
