Anchors Away....

I love anchors. I am working on a pillow project that involves anchors. I decided to go to Pinterest to see what anchor items caught my eye. Here are some of the things I fell in love with. Hope you enjoy. 

Cars that just weren't meant to be.....

The Vega. I had one just like this. Same color. It caught on fire driving down the road one day. Talk about scary.



The Pacer. I worked at a company that the main boss right under the owner drove one just like this. She was a very affluent lady and this is the car she drove. 

The Pinto. I never had one of these but back in the day it was always a big joke if you owned a Pinto. 

And my Maverick was one of my favorite cars. My son-in-law laughs at me. He says a Maverick is a Mustang wanna-be. I don't care, I still loved that car. It was white.



I loved it so much that when it needed to be traded in, I traded for another Maverick. Mine second one was like this. It was the first stick I had ever owned. I learned to drive it when I was about 5 months pregnant. After giving birth to twins, the 2 door had to go.



I owned a car that was a Dodge Dart and instead of a gear shift, the PRNDL were buttons on the dashboard. It was just a boxy car and nothing to brag about. But I bought it cheap. I didn't really like it. It was just what I could afford at the time.



But I will tell you this. If I could buy a new car today, I would be more than happy to say I owned a Dodge Dart now. Talk about a change.

Unique

I was with my daughter when she went to purchase a cell phone Saturday. I was there to keep Shelby entertained and it turned I was the one entertained by Shelby. The phone store had a giant mural on the wall. Shelby was fascinated and asked me to take her picture in front of it. 

Then she decided it would be neat to "break" the photo down in to smaller shots. So I had to snap her "petting the dog."

And getting a "hug" from one of the girls in the picture. 

She then decide it would be neat for the boy to "hand" her something from the wagon. 

And she ended the photo shoot by "digging" around in the wagon. I was very impressed that she wove her story using the mural. It was pretty cool. 

Weekend wrap up...

My grandson Caleb turned 11 on Friday. He spend the evening with me and we went out to eat at his favorite place, The Diner. Afterwards, we went birthday shopping. We had a great time. 

Sunday was his birthday and both sides of the family had a big birthday bash at Applebee's.  He was thrilled with all his gifts but I think his new smart phone just made his day. He's been wanting one so bad.

I got to sit with my grandson Colby. 

And my granddaughter, Alexis.

My son and his wife. 

And crazy Shelby who was in charge of helping me take pictures.

It was a great party and a wonderful way to end the weekend. I did have some goodies to share. Thirty-One had an aMAYzing sale this past week. I got this awesome flip flop Keep it Caddy. It is normally $22, but on the sale I just paid $10.00.

For two years, I have planned on ordering the Thirty-One black Retro Metro purse with my initials in white. But it has been $55 and I just didn't want to pay that. Whenever they had a 1/2 price purse sale I would always end up getting one with a pattern. Well on the recent sale, I finally snagged on for just $20.00! I am beyond thrilled and I am loving it.

Last but not least, I picked up some stuff for the redo of the kids room to a beach room. I will show an update when I get the room done. But I did want to share this little oyster share I found at Joanne Fabrics for just $4.00. I fell in love with it. 

That's my weekend update. Sorry I missed posting yesterday, but the time just got away from me.

Sunday Morning Song

Gearing up for the day....

Been busy this morning. I had some housework to do before heading out for a shopping excursion with my daughter. 

I also spent some more time on pulling stuff out for my yard sale.

I changed purse since my new Thirty-One purse arrived yesterday.

And I changed the comforter on the kids bed since I bought a new one yesterday....

I'll have some pics to share with you on Monday. In the meantime, I would like to leave you with a smile.....

Pyrex dry spell

I still love my Pyrex, but it seems to be harder and harder to find unique pieces that don't cost an arm and a leg. I have decided to add some Glasbake vintage items to my collection as well. So I went looking around the internet just to get ideas. I fell in love with the pink dot bowl. 

And Oh. My. Gosh. Who would not want to find these? They are gorgeous. I never knew such a set existed.

Here is a close up of a red one.

And this deep bowl just made me go crazy. What a big mixing bowl for making all kinds of goodies in.

This was unique. I have never seen this pattern before anywhere.

And square cups? I am dying here. These are just too stinking cute. 

But this set really stole my heart. I have been looking for a couple of years for something in this tulip and checkered pattern. I am putting this on my must have list. 

And this has already been on my wish list for quite a while now. 

This is adorable. I love yellow. 

I have seen Glasbake around for years. Now that I actually want some of it, I will probably never see another piece.
