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
Since the weather is warm it seems that yard sales are popping up weekly in my neck of the woods. I decided this past weekend to hit up a few yard sales and I came home tooting about my loot! You just gotta love a good yard sale!
Found this cutie in mint condition! LOVE IT!
This cute little tote sure opened the door for a little church service on Saturday. Love how the Lord uses the most simple things in life to talk about HIM and give Him praise.
Isn't this cute for $1 and just in time for 4th of July!
If you know anything about Wilton baking products then you know the brand is good. I knew as soon as I saw this set of four tasty-fill mini cake pans Ineeded wanted it. I see some cute individual desserts happening soon. It had never been used and I got it for $2. They are $12.99 brand new at Joann's.
Ooh...don't ya just love these pretty pillows?
They may be for a giveaway soon....Or I might keep them. (LOL)
I need another snack plate about as bad as my grandbabies need more toys!!!! But I cannot resist this pattern. I have several different patterns of snack plates but this is my favorite.
Table runner...washed it so now just gotta iron it! I just happen to have some dishes that will match this table runner perfectly!
I wanted more of these to add to my collection too!!! I love them and I use them a lot! You can buy these most often for $1 each but when you can get 4 for $1....REALLY? How could I pass that up.
YES, YES, YES! The lady had broken the creamer dish but that's okay....Because it was worth the whole $5 I spent on this beauty!
I feel like I done pretty good with my buys.
So I decided to get an early start on my July 4th Tablescape so I could enjoy it. I decided I needed some cute little napkin rings.
I spotted these patriotic pin buttons. Six on a card for $1 so grabbed a couple of packs.
Found the spool of wired ribbon at Walmart for less than $4. I cut 8 of these the length I wanted and hot glued the ends together by overlapping the ends just a tad.
Placed them around my napkin and pinned a button on each one. YAY...I am happy with them. Hope to show you my 4th of July tablescape soon.
And here is what happens when you get side-tracked with tablescapping.....You get your toast a little too brown on the edge! But...the middle part was good!
Lastly, I wanted to share these two pictures with you. I've been capturing some little personality shots with these two grandgirls and my daughter (their mom) wanted to frame several to put in the girls bathroom. I loved the idea of this and I thought these turned out adorable.
These pictures capture their personalities perfectly.
Great things going on this week in our neck of the woods. One of my grand-girl's is being acknowledged for straight A's all year. Two grandbabies will be showcasing their talents and gifts with singing, piano and guitar in a recital. And I'm working on a vacation spot for a few days for a little getaway...Life is good my friends...even on a bad day!
I feel the sounds of the waves calling my name....

Hugs and blessings, Cindy
I need to go shopping with you...(tag along, smiles) AWESOME FINDS!!!!!! I love totes like that and have a few ---none with the Bible saying on there though.
ReplyDeleteHope y'all fared well with the storm yesterday. Many smiles going your way, friend.
Praise the Lord we just got a mess of rain yesterday but no storm my way! Yes, I did get some great finds. I like yard sales much better cause they are better on the prices of things. We'd have a grand time going together junkin!
DeleteWell I guess you do have something to toot about! Girl, you done good at the yard sale. My favorite is the patriotic wreath. Too cute but nearly as cute as those fun pictures!
ReplyDeleteConnie Royals
Thanks Connie. I got so many good personality shots of the girls so I decided to make myself a collage! LOL! YEP, wreath is cute but it's still sitting in my floor. Now to get it on my porch!
DeleteThe ocean sounds good to me! You got so many great buys as usual! I love anything Americana and have found a lot of my decorations at the thrift store. Just decorating now (a bit late...I usually have it done by Memorial Day). You tablescape looks adorable. Life is good...you're right about that! Blessings to you and your beautiful family!
ReplyDeleteThanks Heather. I wanted to get an early start to my July 4th tablescape so I could actually enjoy it for a while. Cause as you know I've already got a summer theme I want to do next after July 4th. LOL!
DeleteWell my friend, aren't you just the cutest garage sale goddess? Love those super finds, the bag is my favorite and the gorgeous teapot and creamer are my favorites. I love garage sales too! Love you sweet lady!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Debbie
Thanks Debbie Kay. I too love that teapot. Now I need to get to scouting for the creamer to go with the sugar dish.
DeleteWhat wonderful yard sale finds! I just love the teapot and sugar bowl. Cute grand daughters. Cute kids. Such different personalities!
ReplyDeleteThanks Melanie.
DeleteLove this post!
ReplyDeleteBoy girl friend, you sure did great with your garage sale! I love all you got, but the creamer and sugar bowl are my very fav... but love it all!
Congrats to your smart cutie, straight A's all year it's a wow!!
We acknowledge our darling too, who is an always straight A's too, except we do the same with the other who is a B plus or an A or a B mainus, lol..
Hugs,
FABBY
LOL...I understand Fabby about doing for all the grandbabies. They are each different and they are suppose to be. I sure love them the same. Yep, I felt I was in my element with these yard sales!
DeleteEnjoyed all your thrifty finds! Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and leaving a nice comment. I hope you will be by to visit again ;-) Have a wonderful week.xx
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by as well. I enjoyed your blog.
DeleteWhat a cute and clever idea to frame the quotes and pictures of your granddaughters.
ReplyDeleteYou sure found some great stuff at amazing prices. Why pay full price for anything, right?
Thanks Betsy. I love a good old yard sale.
DeleteBeautiful finds at that yard sale. Love the runner! Oh, I don't blame your daughter for wanting those photos framed! It's fun to plan time away; hope it all goes well for you Cindy! Hugging you!
ReplyDeleteThe planning part is easy...it's just taking the time to make it all happen! LOL!
DeleteThe sea has called my name for several years now, but I've not answered. :( Not sure the last time we were at the beach, but it's been many years. One of these days..... What great bargains you got. I just CANNOT believe that you have dishes to match that runner, though. LOL HOPE you have a great rest of the week.
ReplyDeleteLOL Deb....you know me too well don't ya?
DeleteGreat finds as always. I never come home with that many treasures! The bag looks like the ones my daughter makes, I use mind all the time!
ReplyDeleteThanks Miss Mary. I love that cute black tote. It will be used many times I can assure you.
DeleteWhat a haul, I love when I can find some really good treasures and your tea pot is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYes my friend life is good. WOW you find the best treasures at the yard sales. Love all you have gathered and those pics of the grands are beautiful. What a great idea for their bathrooms. Wishing you a great evening and rest of the week. Blessings. xo
ReplyDeleteAwe thanks!
DeleteCindy,
ReplyDeleteLOVE all your fantastic finds!! Thanks so much for stopping by!!
Hugs,
Deb
Thanks Deb.
DeleteGood Morning Sweet Lady!
ReplyDeleteYou hit the jack pot with your keen eye. I would have snapped that table runner up too-I am visualizing all sorts of colorful Summer table settings with that as the anchor piece.
How fun that you collect snack plates because I have 8 that were my Momma's. I wanted to use them at the Art & Craft retreat, but I forgot to get them out...
So happy that the grands are doing well and making their sweet Nana ( I think you go by Nana...) so proud.
Life is good and when we thank God for the blessing of it, it is even better!
Happy Thursday lovely Lady.
Great to have you join us at TOHOT!
Jemma
Nana it is! Of course when that first grandbaby came along 12 years ago she could have called me poop-head and I would have answered. LOL! Yes, I love those snack plates and have a LOT OF THEM!
DeleteGoodness! You really found some fabulous treasures! Thank you for sharing and thank you for the sweet comment at The Dedicated House. It means the world! Feel free to share this post at my Make it Pretty party which is currently live. Here is the link so you can check out your feature. http://www.thededicatedhouse.com/2016/06/make-pretty-monday-week-179.html Have a lovely rest of the week. Toodles, Kathryn @TheDedicatedHouse
ReplyDeleteThanks Kathryn for the invite to the party. Glad you stopped by.
DeleteCindy, you are a thrift shopping queen! I wouldn't be able to pass up the snack plates or coffee mugs either.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thoughts of Home. :)
Thanks Stacey. Couldn't believe I found so many things I really liked and for cheap!
DeleteI LOVE all your goodies Cindy! You are gonna have so much fun at the beach :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Karen.
DeleteWell, I love everything you bought...especially love the bag...I am a huge black and white fan..:)
ReplyDeleteYour grands are adorable and I, too, love the cute photos.
We have 2 children...10 grands + 3 by marriage...3 great-grands and we just celebrated our 56 yrs together in April..WHO KNEW LIFE COULD BE THIS GOOD? XOXO
BJ you are one blessed woman! So glad you came to visit.
DeleteSuch sweet grand girls and I adore how you made the napkin rings! Thank you for so faithfully joining us at Thoughts of Home on Thursday. You are a treasured blogging friend.
ReplyDeleteThanks Laura.
DeleteCindy, you did well with all you brought home. I couldn't have resisted the lovely teapot and sugar bowl! Your napkin rings are so sweet...I haven't made any plans my July 4th table, I gotta get with it! The grads are beautiful! Blessings, Pam @ Everyday Living
ReplyDeleteThanks Pam. Yes, I too loved that teapot and sugar dish. Wish I had the creamer but who knows? I might find it one day! If not I will be still be used I can assure you.
DeleteGood morning...back to say thanks for following me and I am following you right back. :)
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed seeing all your finds and you do have a knack for finding" good stuff."
ReplyDeleteYour grands are precious and you make great pictures of them. Let us see the final grouping of pics all framed.
Your getaway at the beach sounds great. We just got back from a week's retreat at the beach and it was good for the soul. To see sunrises and sunsets were glorious! I love to see God's power and glory so evident at the beach. I see and feel Him everywhere but you know what I mean about the beach.
Have a great week.
Thanks Bonnie. So glad you got to go to the beach and had such a lovely time. You can't help but to know there is a GOD when you witness such beauty in nature can you?
DeleteNot only do I love thrifting, but I love seeing what friends found too!
ReplyDeleteYou did great!
That cake pan is amazing.
Thank you for joining us at Thoughts of Home.
Laura, my oldest grandgirl is trying out the pans this weekend so will show you the cute cakes for sure!
DeleteI loved seeing all your thrifty treasures, Cindy!! It's always fun to find great deals.
ReplyDeleteYour granddaughters pictures turned out adorably cute! The napkin rings look perfect for the 4th, and I think I see the beach in your future!
Thanks Kitty! Yes, I see the beach coming up soon! LOL! Ready for a little getaway!
DeleteI'm trying to catch up on my blog reading... More great finds, Cindy! I have a huge set of those snack dishes. Mom collected that pattern. I think there are 28-30 plates and cups, she also has a punch bowl, cake stand and mint tray! I've been saving them to use at a shower for Precious Daughter. Hopefully, we'll be able to use them... Maybe I'll just do a tablescape anyway! HA! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteDon't ya just love the snack plates? I have a nice collection going and my problem is that I just keep on collecting! LOL! Hopefully you can use yours soon for your girl!
DeleteWow, wow, WOW! You found some great items at the yard sales. THe little tote bag is just darling and that tea pot...{{swoon}}
ReplyDeleteI just loved the photo of your granddaughter with the softball gear and what the photo said...too true :)
Have a blessed day, dear one. Hugs and joy to you!
Thanks Stephanie so much for stopping by.
DeleteI thought I was only a post or two behind but then I discovered that I'm W-A-Y behind! So, this evening I'm going to catch up and pop in to all the posts I've missed. I love the cute little black bag. What a sweet thing! And your garage sale finds and Fourth of July napkin rings are great! Best of all, I love what you've done with the photos of your grandgirls.
