Most Recent Estate Sale Finds




I have scored some cool stuff out estate sales and thrift stores in the last month or so. There is a fever that can come over you on a Friday morning, just knowing that if I check the classified ads, there will be several estate sales listed. The battle in my mind begins.... laundry...or...the possiblity of digging through someone's lifes worth of Christmas decorations. Washing dishes...or... old hankies covered in beautiful flowers or holiday patterns, vintage cookbooks, old sewing notions like rick rack, bias tape, and adorable buttons. Folks, this is not a hard decision. Usually, I call my friend Mandi ,
we are off to discover baubles and treasures. It's all about the hunt!
Things I am Thankful For.......
1. My Savior...Jesus
2. My Husband

4. Visiting my Mom's right now

Happy Birthday to my Blog!


Welcome to the birthday party of my blog!! I have been reading other people's blogs and enjoying them so much, that I hadn't taken the time to create my own. Until today of course, and I am so glad I did. How fun to see my life go up in lights on the web!

Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to my new blog, Happy Birthday to me! I love to create, and this is another venue for me to do just that. So, enjoy some of this cute cake(made by Meshell in Australia), and I'll get started.
