Spring At Home....

Finally!  I was beginning to think I'd never get my mantle and house ready for Spring!  But, ta da, it's done and I'm so ready to enjoy the warm, sunny days with a fresher, simpler look!  Since I've gotten my winter stuff put up and my spring decor out, it just seems so much lighter and brighter in here,
and boy,  was I ready for a change! 






























My window was free, found in an alley by the trash, the 2 topiaries, on sale at Target,
artichokes free from my old boss's shop, vintage sugar, $3.00 from my old store,
little bird, $1.00 from my old store.

Till next time......

Goodies from the Goodwill

I try to make it to our local Goodwill a couple of times a week and usually find a few little things.  Ours is not the best, there is rarely any furniture and and not many good small things.  VERY SAD!  One of the reasons I think is because in our Lowe's parking lot, there is a large trailer, (tractor trailer size) that takes donations for the goodwill.  It's in a convenient location and is always loaded with stuff! Unfortunately, the thing most people don't know it that it all goes to Nashville, not our store, which means ours is sorely lacking!  Here are a few of my latest finds.

This little lettuce bowl and plate was $3.99

 
Ironstone pitcher, $1.99



Owl, .99 cents
 
 


Turkey $1.99



Owl picture,  $2.99


Rooster plate.  $ 1.99


 
Pitcher,  99cents


 
Child's portrait in gold frame,  $6.99
(who could give this up)?


 
New frame,  99cents

 

 
Turkey napkin holder,   99cents



 
Little tea pot,  99cents




 
Candle holder, (candle is mine),  $1.99




Till next time.....

  I've been out of town since last Sunday, visiting with my BF, Leslee in Statesboro, Georgia.  We were doing wedding planning for her youngest daughter who's getting married next November in Savannah, outside in one of the gorgeous squares, and just plain having fun! Took some photos of some of the places that will be used which I'll share later.  I  got home last night, and as soon as I recuperate from all the running we did,  I'm going to get started  switching things up for spring, I'm so ready!   In the meantime, here are some random photos from around the house, still in winter mode.

That time of the Month....

This past weekend I got to once again go to the Flea Market.  This time my daughter Kate went with me so we not only got in some shopping but also a little Mom, daughter bonding time.  We had a lot of fun and I did manage to find a few things but not a lot of what I was looking for.  Surprisingly there were less vendors there then last month.   I think it will be getting back to normal in the next couple of months once the weather warms up.  Kate was totally embarrassed that I was taking pics of people's stuff and would walk off like she didn't know me when I started snapping pics.  It was pretty funny, she just doesn't get it!  Here is some of the cool stuff that was there this month!
























These last three lamps were made by our friend John, he had a space in our old store and makes the coolest lamps!  These 3, the tool box, the metal gear, and the globe were my favorites!






Till next time......
