This week's thrifty finds


This big pot was at the first sale we stopped at - just $3.
Want to see how big it is?
big enough for Gavin! He thought it was lots of fun to stand in a flower pot.
I don't know yet if I want to put plants in it or use it to hold magazines.

Nope, I did not purchase this ceramic cat. She was $1 and my son bought her, I think as a joke. She is currently sitting on the table that is the first thing you see when you come in our front door.

My oldest brother was here this weekend, he and Jimmy share the same sense of humor and he left this post-it on the cat.
Don't you wish those 2 could help you find awesome things at yard sales?

this is a big stack of fabric, I think it was $8 total - 2 are very long lengths, more than enough for dresses for me as well as shorter pieces for small projects and quilts.
We also got 56 nice childrens books for 10 cents each - except the seller only charged us $5 because she did not want to make change.

These fresh squash are not from a yard sale - my other brother grew them in his East Texas garden and sent them to us via my parents. We had a big pan of fried squash with our Sunday lunch - it was so good!

The town I live is not real big and I do like to shop locally, but I can't always find what I need here. So I am very happy to find CSNStores - it seems they do have just about everything and it is all good stuff.
Shopping online is the easiest way for me to read reviews on items I am shopping for and to compare prices.

CSNStores has so many things! I am writing to tell you about them and to host a giveaway for them.

Birth Day



Our granddaughter Elizabeth was born this morning, a few days before her due date. She weighs 7 pounds 6 ounces, is 20 1/2 inches long and has lots of sandy hair.
Her momma had a pretty easy delivery.
The new momma, daddy and baby are all fine.
And we could not be happier!

What's new at my home

I apologize for not posting in so long. Sweet Gavin shared his cold&sore throat with Jeff and I and it slowed us down for about a week. Thankfully, we are all better now.

At home, I decided some of my rooms needed sprucing up.
Just adding a tablecloth and one of my mom's doilies perked up the breakfast nook.

I changed some pictures on the wall in the dining room, then added a summer tablecloth.
hydrangeas from my yard in a tea pot from an old friend that I just heard from after several years.

Our bedroom has one huge wall that I've never known what to do with.
We have an assortment of paintings and prints and stitched pieces and Jeff is very fond of all of them. So I tried out the gallery look I have seen on other blogs, I think it works on that giant wall.

This is not new, obviously made in 1987, but it is one of my favorites.

We have a sick puppy - so sick that he needed to go his veterinian yesterday.
He has some problems in his intestines.

Theo is just thrilled with his canned dog food and pills - not! - but they are helping him, he woke up this morning feeling much better than yesterday.

The biggest new thing here is the roof. Because of hail damage in the spring of 2009, we needed a new one. The roofers worked all day Friday and Saturday morning, reshingling the whole thing and replacing a small section of decking. I think they did a great job.

Baby E has not yet made her appearance. That really will be big news.
Nina is staying busy and made these cute closet dividers for a baby shower she is hosting on Saturday for another of the coach's wives that is expecting in July.
