{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

The only good thing about me having to drive 30 miles or more for a Doctor's appointment is getting to stop by a few Thrift stores. I think I scored pretty good!


This tea pot picture frame was the first thing I saw that caught my eye! I loved it. It had never been taken out of the box and all for $1.99!  



Just could NOT pass up more white napkins especially Fieldcrest as they are such a good sturdy napkin. Usually their brand of plain napkins cost around $9 for 4. Got 8 of them for $2.99. Now did I need them????? WELL if you ask my man he will say NO! But CINDY said YES!


 I feel in love with this hurricane jar.The picture does not do it justice. $2.99! I thought it was steel!


Couldn't pass up this cute little gravy boat for 99 cents either! You can ALWAYS use WHITE!

 
These little candle holders was adorable. Especially when I got both for $1.00.




Just simple little rings...but I see napkins rings!!!!! Doll these little cuties up and they will be good to go. 15 or 79 cents.

And my BEST prize of the day...........

You guessed it! PLATES.......



8 of these pretties for $4.99! They are really pretty. Trimmed in silver and has the little indention on them where you could place a tea cup if you wanted too.






I think I done pretty well don't you? Now here is the secret...DO NOT TELL MY MAN I have these plates! He has threatened to call Dish Alcoholics to me!

Decided to use a piece of material and had just enough to make a little skirt bottom attach to a tank top for the youngest grandgirl. (Yep, I done that when I was suppose to be sleeping)

 I love the Chevron prints and rick rack!

 Decided to embellish the tank top just a tad to match the skirt.


She had to have a hair bow to match so found one that matched great at non other than good old Wally World...


She is going to look so stinking cute with this little outfit on.


Got a little black and white dress almost finished for another grandgirl. Simple but cute!

My Blue Plumbago is so pretty....

Have a great Tuesday! See you tomorrow with some Wednesday in the Word....


Hugs and blessings, Cindy

  2. You have been busy, girl! I'm jealous over your thrifty finds but that little dress you made is gorgeous!! She will look so cute it it!!! When you get the other one done don't forget to post it. I don't have Grands yet but am pinning cuties for when I do! Love your flowers. I had some hydrangeas that looked a lot like those last year but they haven't bloomed this summer. They look healthy enough, though. You have a wonderful week, Cindy!!

  6. DOn't know what I am going to do with all these talented friends! I love the little dress idea! I hope to have my work area set up by fall or winter and do some sewing. Of course the reading will get tossed by the way side! Thanks for sharing all your treasures too! I have to stay away from thrift stores. I would never get my house decluttered! :)

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 ...
