And sometimes the pickin’s are slim

You know I told y’all that I just haven’t found much worth mentioning in the past few weeks? This is what I bought over the past week. One or two things I’m glad to have found. The rest? Enh. (Keep reading to the end. If you haven’t heard, there’s a great contest going on over on Rhoda’s blog, Southern Hospitality.) Warning. The following picture quality is embarrassing! Horribly so. Ugh. Darling baby clothes, big stencils and chalk thingies I thought [...]

We Want To Know Wednesday

Have you seen the “We Want To Know Wednesday” posts around? A few weeks ago Seriously Shawn, Confessions Of An Impulsive Addict , The Johanson Journey and Our Dandelion Wishes started this Wednesday ritual. I thought I’d join along today. The questions are: {1} If you could choose a Super Power, what would it be? I’d like a Samantha nose twitch or a Jeanie blink. If those aren’t super powers, I don’t know what is. They can do what all [...]

Sometimes ya just get lucky

Have you noticed that I haven’t been posting my weekend finds lately? That’s because they’ve been so pitiful they just haven’t been worth the time it would take to talk about them. So sad. And honestly, this weekend wasn’t much better. I happened to look at the things I was buying and selling this time last year and spring was a great time! The most memorable was the antique, empty Colt Revolver box I bought for $3 that sold for [...]

Let’s decorate a spoon!

At Melanie’s birthday celebration – two, no, three weeks ago? – we had a craft night and decorated spoons. Tiffany got pictures of everyone else’s spoons, but I see she hasn’t blogged about it yet. Maybe she will soon. I didn’t finish mine that night. Actually, I only finished it a few days ago. The bowl was done, but I couldn’t figure out what to do to the top. But it did finally get finished. I have ideas for more [...]

Do you collect anything “Mother”?

This is my collection of Mother mottos. My friend Tiffany, aka The Cranky Queen, got me started collecting these. I believe she bought one from me way back when and I got to thinking what a sweet collection it would make, so, much to her dismay, I started to keep most of the rest I’d find. Aw, she’s not too dismayed. She’s got a pretty good collection going on, too. Maybe she’ll share it with us. It does make a [...]

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 [...]
