May’s Giveaway is joining up with the Cottage Charm Giveaway
I’m joining Twice Remembered Cottage for the 5th annual Cottage Charm Giveaway! May’s giveaway is French themed! There’s right at a yard of the coveted French script fabric, a vintage French perfume ad from a French magazine, a cameo pin, a vintage, hand made (NOT by me) lace covered…. something. I’m not sure what it is, but the lace on the front is pretty. And finally, my last, beloved, my favorite, Paris scent candle from Capri Blue candles. I [...]
Easter’s over, but we still have eggs
Most of us all have the same love affair with nests and eggs. We’ve had a dove’s nest in the same spot for several years. They come back every year and build on top of the old nest. The problem was that it was under the porch, the area we’re taking in for my craft room. So, once the babies flew, we took their home down. We’ll try to put something up near there that they might like to nest [...]
Have a wonderful and blessed Easter!
May you know and embrace the true meaning of Jesus’ sacrifice and have the faith of a child. Yes. That’s me. 1958. Please don’t use this picture without permission.
Easter cards for Free Graphic Friday
I’m piling ‘em on today so you’ll have time to do something with these images before Easter. If you want. Remember, simply right click on the image and choose “Save As”. Pay attention to where it’s being saved on your computer so you can easily find it again.
Time for Thrifty Thursday
Yes, it’s that time again folks. Time to join Tales From Bloggeritaville for Thrifty Thursday. I didn’t remember this, but apparently, in looking back over everything and trying to place when and where they were bought, I must not have got out on Friday. Was it stormy that day? I dunno. Anyway, here’s everything, in order of appearance (order in which each thing was bought): Copper, outdoor lantern. Copper hat ashtray. I can never seem to resist these. My grandmother [...]
Surprise find at the thrift store
Begin boring preface— We have, and always have had, the worst thrift store in the history of thrift stores. We have one thrift in our little town. And “lucky” to have that one, I suppose. It used to be a Salvation Army store, but was closed because it was losing money. Why was it losing money? The stuff that was in there was like a used Dollar Tree, only everything was more than a dollar. The clothes were pretty awful. [...]
Wanna see the weekend’s loot?
It’s that time again. Time to show what I found on the hunt this past weekend. Nothing earth shattering. Again. But there are lots of pictures, so be prepared. It all started on Thursday……… There was an invitation only sale in Opelika. Said there were 3 outbuildings. Now, outbuildings are my thing. I LOVE to plunder in the outbuilding junk. I was super excited. It’s quite a distance away, but I’d get to see my daughter Erin, even if it [...]

Free Graphic Friday – Vintage Easter Child
What do you think? Little boy? Or little girl? But that sure looks like an Easter basket and eggs. The side of the card stock frame reads: To Dear Uncle Morris and family With love from Martha age 22 mos. Guess that settles that. It’s a precious little girl! She looks a little precocious, doesn’t she? Like those chubby, rosy cheeks and sweet little smile might be hiding a whirlwind. Click here to find three different sizes of this [...]
