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...
There's a little girl
In the neighborhood
Her name is Cindy Conner
And her thriftings looking good....
Now I will be singing the John Anderson song, "Just a swinging" the rest of the day. LOL!
It's been a while since I have been thrifting and decided to do a little. So glad I did. I found the cutest little snack plates with matching cups.
A service for 8 matter of fact and for $16. YES, you read correctly. 16 bucks for a service for 8 and not a chip one on any piece. MY KIND OF THRIFING! I know thrifting isn't a real word. But it's my word now cause I made it up! LOL!
Then I found these cute snack plates too. I have these exact ones. Matter of fact I have several different patterns of snack plates. They didn't have the cups to match but I also have tons of little clear cups that I can use.
They had 8 of these plates for a total of $2.99. Not $2.99 each...but all 8 for $2.99! Girls, I cannot pass up a deal like this.I have tons of snack plates. Matter of fact I am not going to sat how many cause then you will really know the depth of my "Dishaholic" problems! My man told me that I DID NOT NEED ANOTHER DISH! But, I never said I NEEDED them! I WANTED them!
Found this cute vase for 99 cents. I call it the thumb print vase as the design looks like thumb print indention's.
Remember this pretty corning ware pattern? Some of you may still have some of these dishes. I had several pieces but over the years they have gotten broken. It was just too cute to pass up. So, for a $1.99 it came home with me too. I felt I done really good with my thrift store goodies and money wise too.
My 13 year old granddaughter made her first homemade apple pie. Didn't she do a great job?
A group of us ladies had a girls night out and enjoyed a comedy starring Chonda Pierce. We had pizza, popcorn, candy, drinks, games and prizes. I don't know when I have laughed as hard or so much.
We had the best time. Laughter is indeed the best medicine.
Everyone wanted a door prize to say the least!
Our photo booth with props was the hit!
There is nothing any sweeter than your sisters in Christ.
I had the opportunity to have "Thanksgiving Feast"with this cutie at school.
It's been a busy week but a good one. Thanksgiving is this week and with that I want to wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving Day. Enjoy your family and your friends. Remember to thank the Lord for His many blessings. We deserve nothing but yet we are so very blessed.
See you after Thanksgiving.
Hugs and blessings, Cindy

Cindy, You are as cute as the little cutie you had a day with at school. I loved your thrifting....it sounds more like a proper word than physicality. What?? A word I have heard a lot of lately. LOL. Once a waitress asked what my husband and I had been doing one day...we said
ReplyDeletesale-ing....she says oh I would love to be on the water...we said "No, yard sale-ing." LOL. Blessings to you and yours this Thanksgiving, xoxo, Susie
So glad Susie that you get my "WORD". LOL! You are too sweet. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Hugs!
DeleteI'm just loving your cute snack sets, Cindy, and all the rest of your goodies! You lead a fun life with family and friends, and are indeed blessed! Your granddaughter's pie turned out so beautiful, and what fun to attend the Thanksgiving Feast! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family, Cindy!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kitty. Happy Thanksgiving to you dear lady.
DeleteThere's nothing like the thrill of scoring a bargain. You scored great finds at your thrifting, Cindy. I think we may need to set up an online support group for our dish/china addiction! The other day, I was mentally tallying up my teacups...and stopped counting when I realized that I was going to surpass triple digits. HA! Your ladies' movie night out looks like a blast and your granddaughter is too cute. Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteAddiction is probably an understatement dear Margie when it comes to dishes. I love them! I am afraid to even count! LOL! Yes our movie night was so much fun. It is truly good to laugh. Happy Thanksgiving to you Margie.
DeleteYou aced those deals Cindy. Girl, those snack plate set would have cost you much more in an antique store! Looks like the ladies event turned out great. I love Chonda Pierce. she is a hoot. I know you enjoyed your Thanksgiving feast with that cutie and that pie, oh my! I can't even make a pie that looks that good. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
ReplyDeleteConnie Royals
Yes, Chonda is a hoot. We had fun. That pie baker is my little baker in the family. She isn't afraid to try anything. I just love it that she enjoys it. I hope that you all have a great Thanksgiving day. Looks like we are expecting 90% chance of rain that day. But...it won't stop Thanksgiving.
DeleteHave a great Thanksgiving enjoying your family!
ReplyDeleteI hope that you enjoy your Thanksgiving too Christine.
DeleteWhat wonderful fun you girls had getting together. Laughter is healing and healthy, i think!
ReplyDeleteGood job on those snack plates. That first set is gorgeous. I am a dishaholic, too. lol
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving. You have a new pie maker in the family for the holidays!!! xo Diana
From one dishaholic to another.....I LOVE DISHES! Happy Thanksgiving!
DeleteI LOVE all of your great "thifting" items, Cindy...but I'm sorry to break this news to you...I don't think you made the word up, LOL! It is something I love doing as well and you are right about not "needing" those things, but WANTING them, right? Your sweet little grand did a fabulous job on her pie and I bet it tasted just as delicious as it looked. You ladies certainly went all out on your Girl's Night Out event! I am SOO stealing some of your prop ideas...that is if you don't mind. You are right...there is nothing like getting together with our "Sistas". I pray you and your family have a BLESSED Thanksgiving! ♥♥♥
ReplyDeleteDebby, you snitch whatever you want that I have lady! I was quite proud of my girl's apple pie. The truth is I don't eat apple pie but I just thought it was so pretty. Happy Thanksgiving my friend.
DeleteYou did awesome thrifting! It makes me want to get out and go shopping for some thrifty goodness! It's been too long for me! Your granddaughter's pie is stunning! I bet it was delicious too. What a fun movie night with the ladies. That photo booth was awesome. Happy Thanksgiving Cindy!
ReplyDeleteThanks Heather Lou. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving as well.
DeleteOh, I love hanging out with girlfriends...so much fun and we all need the laughter .....
ReplyDeletewhat a gorgeous pie...and girl...xo
Yes laughter is so needed BJ. Prayed for you dear lady.
DeleteFun post! You look fabulous!! I am not a dishaholic but I LOVE what you found for snack plates. I go "thrifting" all the time....it is a real word for a real thing :-)
ReplyDeleteAwe thaank you lady. I sure enjoyed my little thrifting that day and came up with goodies I love! Happy Thanksgiving.
DeleteOh, sweet friend! It is always such a delight to visit with you here!! You are such a blessing and bright spot for us all! I LOVE your wonderful finds that you uncovered while thrifting! I take a notion to do that now and then, although, we are in such a downsizing, minimizing mode, I find that it gives me more pleasure to do that nowadays, than to acquire more stuff. I guess it is just seasons of life that we go through. It looks like you and your sweet sisters in Christ had an amazing time that night! And, that sweet, little one that you got to have lunch with is just precious! So happy things are well with you, and I trust God will give you and your dear family an amazing Thanksgiving Day together!!!
ReplyDeleteI hope that you have a wonderful Thanksgiving dear Cheryl. God is good and we surely don't deserve a thing.
DeleteWell, thanks for the song stuck in MY head now, too! ha, ha. I grew up on that song. :)
ReplyDeleteSo funny that you posted about dishes. We are also having "dish" talk, but ours is the exact opposite. Because of the screwy way our lives were thrown together, we never had a chance to buy household items, never had a wedding reception, etc. It never bothered or occurred to us until we started having people over for Bible studies...we have NO glasses and only 6 bowls! ha, ha. There's a lot of other "missing" items, too, but how did we never miss owning some glasses, for Pete's sake! Just my funny spin on your story.
That pie looks delicious. She did a great job. Happy Thanksgiving, my friend!
Thanks lady. We did have a great Thanksgiving. I have been too busy to even post or browse. I do hope that you had a great Thanksgiving too.
DeleteWHAT? Thrifting is not a real word? haha...I use it all the time. Oh well. Love the buys. The corning ware used to be a popular pattern, matter of fact when I was a kid, I had a toy set like that and even came with those handles in plastic! Too funny, not thought about that is years. I came over to your blog to wish you and yours a Happy Thanksgiving. Eat and have a great time.
ReplyDeletePam, I hope that you had a great Thanksgiving as well. Yep, I used the corning ware dish I bought recently and remembered why they never seemed to be my favorite dish. Food stuck bad in it. Was pretty easy to clean though. LOL!
DeleteCome to Tennessee and we'll go thrifting together! Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving, sweet Friend. 💜
ReplyDeleteWe could do some good thrifting together.
DeleteCindy, I always love to see what you have been up to, and it looks like a lot of shopping and getting great buys! I hope your Thanksgiving was beautiful! Love and hugs!
ReplyDeleteThanks Pam. We had a great Thanksgiving.
DeleteCindy, You always find the best bargains and have so much fun shopping. Laughter is the best medicine. Glad your program with Chonda went so well. She is funny.
ReplyDeleteI know your granddaughter was proud to have you attend her Thanksgiving feast. That's a great picture of you two.
We had a great Thanksgiving with all my family at my house. Had them for a whole week. It was a lot of cooking and eating but a sweet time. My house got much smaller sleeping 10. Know your Thanksgiving was great, also. Now, everyone is gone and the decorating has started for Christmas.
Thanks Bonnie. Yes, I love Chonda. When a laugh is needed she is the one to watch. Sounds like you and your family had a great time too!
DeleteCindy, I've been helping a friend declutter (we still have a few sessions to go) and during our last session one of the things she reluctantly parted with (donated to our favorite local charity shop) was a stack of those glass snack sets just like yours! Your granddaughter made a perfectly lovely pie!
ReplyDeleteAwe how sweet of her to do. I would have probably bought them back! LOL! Thanks Jean.
ReplyDeleteYou have a precious family, Cindy. :)
