I'm joining Linda at Coastal Charm again this week for another great Nifty Thrifty Tuesday. Be sure to visit her at  http://linda-coastalcharm.blogspot.com and then hop on over to the other Mr. Linky's so you can see all the goodies the other Nifty Thrifty folks got.  Found this beautiful glass piece which is very heavy at a Thrift Store for $2.99.  Another glass tea pitcher which is was so hard for me to pass up for $1.99 at the Thrift Store. Cute butterfly basket for $1.00 at the Thrift Store. And then I found this thingy-gingy! Is that even a word? I almost didn't get it but then it was only 50 cents! And I passed by it twice and it was one of those deals that I said, "Ok, it is still sitting there when I walk by again...for the 3rd time....I am getting it! Now isn't that just a great way to talk yourself into buying something or either talk yourself out of buying something????? But for 50 cents!!!! Well, it was still there and it came home with me. Nee...

Some of you know from my Foto Friday that my oldest granddaughter was celebrating her 6th birthday. Can see her pictures of her first manicure and pedicure here http://creationsbycindyphotography.blogspot.com/2010/04/foto-friday_16.html Well I just had to do a little something more you know for my oldest granddaughter. Decided to play around with a needle and thread! That could be scarey at times! Ha! Bought just a plain white top and a black skort. Found a pair of black flip flops too. Wanted to embellish it a tad though so it would look more girly. I had this cute black and white ribbon and some white/yellow flower buttons and thought, "Now why I can't I use this to add some embellishments and doll this little outfit up. Made these little rossets or thingy's or whatever it is you may want to call it!  So started out with the white top. I like the way it looked and proceeded to the skort. I really thought the added piece just really gave the plain black skort some p...

I am joining Laurie today over at Bargain Hunting and Chatting With Laurie. She is hosting Favorite Things Saturday".  Be sure to check her out at http://bargainhuntingwithlaurie.blogspot.com . I have so many favorite things but here are just a few that popped out to me today.  This is a few picnic baskets I have managed to collect. They all were bought at GW...I have several real small ones as well that are not in the picture. I just love stuff like this.  This wire furniture piece I found at Ross. I had been looking for something small, wouldn't take of much space and yet would look somewhat elegant in the corner of my bedroom. I looked and looked and found this for $15. The size and color was perfect and it is just large enough to hold a few of my favorite things. The old wooden chest at the bottom (I had for years), the plant holder is actually a serving bowl on a pedastal that a sweet friend gave to me and the books are my 3 favs to be in my bedroom. I love thi...

In honor my oldest granddaughter's 6th birthday which is today....I wanted to share a few pictures of her very first manicure and pedicure. We had such a great afternoon together. Here is where we began the birthday adventure.   Then it was to pick out the color she wanted for her nails and toes . Then she had to pick which CHAIR she wanted...which the bottoms are shaped like high-heel shoes! Which one do you think she picked???? Yep, it was the Princess! She enjoyed every moment of her birthday adventure. I think I may just have started something!!!!!! Happy Birthday Raygen! I love you! Love, Nana

I'm very excited to be joining Susan at Between Naps On The Porch at http://betweennapsontheporch.blogspot.com/ This is my first little bloggers tablescape.... My Tablescape is very simple, yet I find it what I call "Low Country Charm" . Instead of High Tea, we're having low tea. First of all let me say that my grandfather built my table and benches for me in 1994. It is so heavy it took about four men to get the table in the house. It isn't anything fancy but my papa built it just for me and I love it and will always treasure it. Anyway, was going to put a table cloth on it but to be honest I just wanted it to be simple and I wanted the wood to show. Besides it takes two tablecloths for this size table unless I want to make one! First of all I must share a little history about these dishes. In 1984 we lost our home to a fire. At that time that was probably the closest thing I had ever come to that was in the sense of experiencing a death in the family. Those o...
