{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...

Weekend Trip with a BIG YARD SALE!


We spent this past weekend just goofing on and doing what we wanted to do...every now and then one needs to do just that right? Especially when the trip involved a yard sale at a local fairground in Jesup, Ga. with lots of goodies....

 When I first saw this yard sale advertised it was the first of April so I decided that the yard sale in Jesup, Ga would be on my list of things to do.
We headed out pretty early and stopped at this little country restaurant for breakfast. I have to throw some dibs in there for them....GREAT FOOD AT A GREAT PRICE. If you are ever traveling through Nahunta, Ga be sure to stop.
 Good breakfast and several cups of coffee and here we go....

 Of course the first thing I spied was this cutie. Needless to say it wasn't for sale as it was used to display necklaces. However the young lady told me that she had more people wanting to buy her shabby chick candelabra that she had painted and attached pillar candles too than her necklaces! 
 (I see one of these little DIY cuties in the makings for me)







And as with any yard sale one man's junk is another man's treasure...or should I say woman!



 And I think the clothes sold right off this feller...Hee-hee!

 I think I spent more time looking at how things was displayed....isn't this the cutest? All clear dishes was used to display some necklaces.

 We shopped at the Big Yard Sale for a few hours and then I spotted another little stop to make.

I did find me some goodies on my trip. (of course you didn't think that I wouldn't now did you?) 
 First purchase was these blue and white dishes. I have blue and white dishes that belonged to my grandmother and motherinlove so these will go nicely with my collection.

 I already have my sugar, creamer and sweetener set up and ready. 
(don't ya just love the little creamer?) 
 Another blue and white piece.




Aren't these adorable?
This was so pretty to me.
 The detail etched on the glass was really pretty.
 
 Awe...yes! This sweetie came home with me too. I've already had a cup of coffee in it and a hot cup of tea!

A few pieces of jewelry came home with me as well.Several of these pieces will be used to make something else....my mind is churning and that can be dangerous!
This cute little beach sign will be used when I do my Beach Tablescape this summer. Right now I am just letting it be a reminder that our family beach trip for a week will be coming up in August! YAY!
Found these two cute little boxes. I've already got for ideas for both. I see some chalk paint going on soon....

Yep...loved my loot.


We had a full weekend no doubt with shopping, eating out and just enjoying some time away.  We visited St. Simon's Island, Little St. Simon Island and went to beach at Jekyll Island.
 It doesn't look like it in this picture but from a distance this bridge looked like a sail boat.
 Beautiful scenery.



Another great place to eat especially if you are wanting fresh sea food is Captain's Joe's.

Not sure what I was more impressed with...the food or the price! Not often you come across a seafood platter for two which ours consisted of salmon, flounder, calamari, oysters, shrimp, hush puppies and baked potato. Included in the price was a soup and salad bar that was all you could eat and tea plentiful for $42! AND we had so much left over that we carried it home to make another meal! The service was excellent and that is major plus in my book!


I hope that you have enjoyed my little weekend getaway with me. It was so much fun.

Joining Jann today for her "Share your cup Thursday". Be sure to pop over to see Jann.

    Cindy,
    You had a wonderful time didn't you!! I would so enjoy an outing like this and oh the food, haven't had a really good fried oyster or shrimp dinner in a very long time. I had an Aunt who lived in Moorehead City in North Carolina, it was years ago and I remember enjoying some of the best hush puppies ever along the Atlantic coast! You certainly found a treasure trove of beauties!
    Warm Hugs,
    Jemma

    Hi Cindy! Oh, if I lived close by, I would have popped in the backseat and gone with y'all! What a fun sale and you really found some great things too. Oh, the blue and white dishes - Currier and Ives - I have a slew and I mean a slew of these dishes. They make me happy! I know you're having fun with your finds. Thanks for popping in to see me.
    Be a sweetie,

    What a fun way to spend the weekend! You and I have something in common...a love for blue and white. :) Loved all your purchases...especially like the bowl and the tea cup in the blue and white. :)

    I will be looking forward to seeing what you do with the two wooden boxes! I have an idea, but I'll wait to see if I am right. :)

    Your stop at Captain Joe's reminds me of a place that our son took us when he lived in NC between Lake Norman and Charlotte. I've NEVER had hush puppies that good since! :)

    Have a great weekend, my sweet friend.

    What fun! You found some real treasures. I have a good friend who lives in Brunswick - I could have visited her and started the yard sale there, then worked my way down to where you were! She used to live on St. Simons Island and I spent a week there with her with a visit to Jekyll Island. Your photos brought back happy memories. Sometime I hope my sweetheart and I can visit your part of the world. We will let you know when that is planned - maybe there will be a big yard sale again!

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...

{March Is Underway}

  Welcome to March! The little grands and I kicked off March with a sleepover at Nana's house. They are so much fun and so energetic. COFFEE has earned my love forever for sure! LOL!  We started out with a sack lunch from Burger King (their favorite) and headed to a cute little park that is only about 2 miles from where I live. The girls has so much fun. The girls put in for Nana to ride the horsey. Well, y'all know I had to show those littles that Nana still can do that!!! Two of the girls wanted to play with the old Halloween wigs but the youngest one opted out. She said it made her head itch. LOL!  We had a tea party for breakfast. Our tea party consisted of smoked sausage, peaches and chocolate chip cookies. Yummy to my tummy the youngest one said! I finally got around to making myself a healthy fruity Icee. I made the girls snow cones out of the same healthy fruits. Guess I needed too so they wouldn't be so hyped up from all the cookies when returning home. Hee-hee!...

{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...
