{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...

Tuesday Toots-Yard sale Loot

It just so happened that I had a Doctor's appointment recently and could not pass up a yard sale or two...and the Goodwill!

Needless to say the first yard sale I stopped at was my kind of sale...CHEAP!


Three strands of pearls for $1. I love pearls. I not only wear them but I decorate with them as well. Just something about a stand of pearls to me that says....ELEGANT.

 I spied this deep purple table runner and when the girl said, "You can have it for 50 cents I snatched it up like it was my last meal!!!


 Cute pink vase for 25 cents...I like to pick up vases here and there as my mom loves fresh flowers and my sister and I try to keep her room adorned with flowers.Well, she loves plants PERIOD! Matter of fact we get tired of watering them! LOL!


Goodwill here I come!


Spied this cute little basket for 99 cents. I have already used it and see many uses to come!

And I just love these beautiful goblets. I have a set but for 99 cents each I grabbed these to add to my stash.


I just cannot pass up a Christmas Sleigh. And yes....I have quite a few stashed away but spotted this at another yard sale and guess what? Only 25 cents!



There is always what I call my REAL PRIZE of the day when yard sale or thrift store shopping and this cookie-candy jar was it for me! LOVE IT!

Isn't she pretty?

Paid a little more for her than I wanted too but I have so many pieces that she matches and well...you know the old saying...if we really want it we'll pay WHAT THEY WANT FOR IT!

This little feller rode with me on my window for about 30 miles before he disappeared. 


And no, I didn't try to snap his picture while driving. First of all I AIN'T that good...and second of all I AIN'T that STUPID! LOL!

In the meantime I am working on the outside of my little shed. Decided it needed to be gussied up a tad...


Got some planting I want to do in the front as well. Not sure if I want Boxwood or Indian Hawthorne...but deciding. In the meantime I do love my little plants on the windows though.


Hope you enjoyed my loot today. I have already have my cookie jar loaded with Debbie cakes! Hee-hee!
 

Have a great day!

Hugs and blessings, Cindy

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 ...
