At home, a few thrift store treasures and a grocery deal

Good morning!  It was not on my to do list but I started cleaning a few things in our living room and before I was done, I rearranged several areas. 

No before pictures, just afters.  I am really happy with it.  

I visited one thrift store yesterday.  

The only purchases were a $1 shirt and $1 pair of little boy pants.  

The shirt is MudPie brand and tagged a 3T but it looks smaller than that and will probably fit the 5 month old next summer.  

I got some free magazines at the same thrift store- some current cooking magazines......

And these older Japan Quilts issues.  

All the words are Japanese but the photos are beautiful and the best I can tell, all the projects have patterns in the magazines.  

A new way to wrap wire hangers - right up my alley! 

Fabric pieced window toppers

A very cute toy

I know I will enjoy these big magazines and my Mom will too.  

A photo this week of JJ.  

He had so much fun picking dandelions in the yard of an empty house near us.  To him, they were the prettiest flowers in the world.  :)

About CVS, I didn't do any deal shopping there last week and I don't think I am going this week.  I do plan to shop the next sales circular that starts Nov.1.  

A grocery store has these Red Gold tomato products on special- when you purchase 10, it deducts 40 cents from each.  

I got 30 cans for $13.70.  I use canned tomatoes often when I cook.  This was such a good deal and the sale runs through Tuesday.  I think I should back and get more as there was no limit.  The cans are dated use by 2017 and I will use them long before that.  

That's the news from here.  I hope you all are having good weeks in your homes too.  

To do list, press on nail update and our 7 grands

Here is my new list for this week and my new manicure done with a chevron design press on nails from  Dollar Tree.  I am not an expert on nails but after one week of wearing them,  I really like them.  

This is a link to the YouTube video that made me first try the Dollar Tree nails.

I will keep updating you on them and I plan to keep wearing them.  They are lots of other YouTube videos about press on nails too.  

All of our seven grands, all of their parents, my parents and my brother were at our home this weekend.  We really enjoyed seeing each other and the cousins have the best time playing together.
