Cock~a~doodle~do and a basket too!


 My husband found more great finds on Saturday!
This copper and metal standing weather vane is so
great! $5   and this unusually shaped wire handled basket
is just so cute! $3

And my daughter took a few adorable pics of our sweet cat;
Miss Kitty. She is 12 years old and just as tiny and spry as she was when we adopted her at a few months old!

Have a wonderful 4th of July! Maybe we'll find a yard sale on the way to the lake today!

Woo~hoo!

Friday Yard Sale Finds~


 You know those days when you wake up and you aren't really motivated? I felt that way this morning! I only found one yard sale today in the paper and I was thinking just stay home. I'm so glad that I didn't!
As I was talking to the lady giving the yard sale~I told her how much I loved her vintage bicycle. She said it's for sale! How much I ask? $10 ~ You've never seen someone whip out money like I did! Then there was this antique radio Flyer "Rodeo" wagon ~ $8

And I found this silver tea tin with the words etched into the silver!

$20.25=pure Friday bliss!

I'm going to redo the flowers on the bicycle~not my taste! I'm thinking red geraniums and something white!
I'll show you the results soon!!

~You need a good trim~


 Matt found a roll of this great trim at the auction for
 .10 cents. Where to put it? I know-on the utilitarian shelf in the Laundry Room! It made a huge difference! Matt even said so!

It's Curtains for ME...

I have sliding glass doors in both of our bathrooms. We also have extremely hard water. So~not matter how much I scrub the water stains come back more often than I can clean them off. So I picked up this beautiful white shower curtain with brown stripes for $2
last weekend at a yard sale to cover things up! The room feels more put together now! I'm happy with it!
$2 = happiness~not bad!

Yard Sale finds and a Candlestick Obsession!

Some yard sale finds from this morning! I found these 2 black candlesticks (I have an obsession) for $3 total. I use these as ways to elevate things~not just for candles! You can also put a plate on top and turn them into cake plates/stands!




I found this adorable quilted pillow for a $1. Love the pink, blue and white. Also found the antique bottle with very old shabby label for  50 cents!




Matt found this wagon in the trash last weekend and I just had to put it out front! I put a pot of herbs in it but I plan to fill it up!

Found this for 50 cents today. Perfect for the 4th!








This topiary (Matt found 2 off these for me a few weeks ago for $1 a piece!) is great. But when we went to the Cheddar Box last weekend they had almost the same ones (Only larger) and they had pretty hounds-tooth ribbon. I found this black and white polka dot ribbon at Michael's and added it for the perfect touch!

Enjoy your day!

Great day with family...






I had a great time the last couple of days with my mom and our cousins Christine and Tracey. They are visiting from Atlanta. We went to Huber's Winery for a wine tasting yesterday. That was my first time to do an official tasting!
Then today we went to the Butterfly Cafe at Dolfinger's in Louisville. As you can see by our delicious plates it was yummy!
Christine and Tracey each brought me some thoughtful gifts.
Pictures at the bottom are Georgia Pecans and Peanuts!

Enjoy your day...
