Weekend wrap up....

Saturday was a good bargain day. I went to my friend's yard sale and scored several good bargains....like this package of business cards for .25. Worked out perfect because I need to design me some new business cards. 

Then I scored this Sandra Brown book that her mom had for sale for $1.00. Her mom said she almost didn't put it in there because she had never read it. Then later I found out she wished she hadn't sold it. I will have to loan it to her once I read it. 

I got these gorgeous red and white Corelle saucers for just .25 cents each. I love red and white. 

Another quarter scored me this cute little book. I love laying stacks of Christmas story books out at Christmas time. 

Some cute snowmen ribbon for another quarter. 

This was a huge piece of turkey material. I think it was like .25 or .50. I can't remember for sure. 

I got two of these little bracelets (one in peach and this green one) and a necklace I forgot to make a picture of. Everything I got totalled $5.00. So it was a pretty good bargain day. 

After that, I went to a local antique store that I do a lot of trading at. I had some antique glass ware that had been taking up space for awhile that I no longer collected so I took it to my favorite place. I was able to trade in a few pieces and get this square Pyrex cake pan that I had been looking for. 

I also got this Early American piece I wanted.

I found this little bowl and fell in love. I think it is Federal or Fire King. I can't remember. 

I got this little Libby vintage juice glass. I love the red roosters. 

I love handmade doilies. This was only $1.00.

And this precious apron for Christmas. 

I was able to trade my items for the majority of these and only had to pay a small amount for the rest of it. What an awesome day. 

Laugh a little

I thought I would share a little humor this morning. I turned on my Facebook the other night and notice my daughter had tagged me in a photo. I thought "Oh how sweet. Let's see what she tagged me in."

I would have been highly offended if it weren't for the fact that this is SO TRUE. I have the compulsion that makes me think I need to search out everybody I know and have one last conversation that day before we leave the sanctuary. Then I have some friends who are in the foyer that I have to say a few words to. And then we get outside where people are milling around the front and I always find somebody that I just need "one more minute" to tell goodbye. It's harder to get me out of the church parking lot on Sunday morning than it is getting a kid up for school. 

Another funny I saw was one I tagged my daughter-in-law in. I despise dusting and she loves to give me a hard time about it. It is true. I don't like to dust. Of course if I didn't love to collect so many knick knacks and what not's, I wouldn't have to move so much stuff to dust so I might enjoy it more. Hmmm....Nope. Still wouldn't like it. Anyway, I just had to share this little poem. She got a kick out of it. 

Have a blessed Sunday!

My current obsessions....

I go through spells where I fall in love with things I see online then it seems I see items with that theme everywhere I look. 

I am currently seeing little cute witches everywhere. Isn't this one so precious. I can make the broom but that is about it. 

I love these ghosts made from lace and Styrofoam balls. Super simple. May make some of these this weekend to hang on the hooks on my front porch.

My hubby loves YooHoo so I am saving some of the bottle to do something like this. 

I love candy canes crushed up in my hot chocolate and sprinkled on my marshmallows. I call it peppermint dust. I would love to do these as gift ideas. How do you think they make the hats?

And for some reason, I am in love with old trucks. Isn't this a cute idea.

I have had an obsession about these old trucks as decor ever since last Christmas when I saw people decorating with them. 

What are you currently obsessed with?

My crazy life....

It seems like I can't get my head together any more to accomplish anything. I hate when I miss a day blogging and I am going to try to do better. I have some exciting things to share today. 

First is this sweet lady from West Virginia name Peggy. She and her husband come to Tennessee several times a year. They attend our church when they are in town. She know of my love for Pyrex and every once in awhile she she surprises me with a bowl she has picked up an estate or yard sale. They were down recently and she surprised me with this awesome set of the (that's the set on the right). I just love it! It was really neat because the set had two out of three lids with it. And I happened to have a spare lid which went with those size bowls. Aren't they beautiful. 

As you know I sell Thirty-One. One of the other consultants posted this on her page. 

These little bags are part of new Christmas Collection. So I posted it to see how many I could sell in 24 hours. I was already taking up and order and I was short of my goal. I sold 18 sets in the first 58 minutes. Fourteen hours later I had sold a total of 27 sets and I met my goal. At $5 plus s/h and tax they were just $5.93 per set. I love that their Christmas line is already released and available through the end of January. After I got to 27 I realized I needed a couple myself. If you look closely you will see the little cardinal on one of the trees. When I noticed that, I realized I had to get a set for Miss Debbie at www.Jeremiah-2911.com. I hope she likes it.

I am planning on running to a couple of yard sales in the morning. Sort of a last hurrah for bargains before it gets to cold to have them. I have a friend who is having one and I know I will go to it for sure. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Hobby Lobby Heaven

Our new Hobby Lobby opened this past weekend. Just 10 minutes from my house. I just come off my road, turn right go a few feet, turn left and it is a straight shot all the way down the highway to Hobby Lobby. It's fantastic. But then again it may not be such a great thing to have it so close to me with my love of crafting. I am definitely going to need to do a budget. I also love their home decor section and with so much off at 40% with the grand opening, I may need to go again this weekend. Here are some pics of my favorite things.

Good start to the week....

Happy Monday morning. Let's start the week off with some laughter. This is me every. single. morning. I get up in my PJ's and do things around the house, write my blog, everything to start my day going. Then I am geared up and ready for my day....till I realize I have to actually get dressed if I plan on going to work. 

I do not hunt. I could never be quiet enough to get anything. So this would be me.

This one says it all. 

This one is very funny.

And I am sure we all know someone that we think this about sometimes.

Have an awesome week!
