Thrifty Finds!

I just love Two's Company. This is for the beach house I don't have. $2.92

That's Nigella Bites in the basket. If I wait long enough I will get books I want that I don't want to pay the book store price-$3.93. The Basket wire desk basket is from Goodwill-$3.99.

This is a basket full of ocean things. That's a fan sponge sitting on a natural sponge. Two old floats. Can you see the sea horse's? They are skeleton's. $2.92 for the whole basket.

I put this on twice by accident and I don't know how to take it off-sorry.

Happy Tuesday to you.

These are for you Kristin!

I thought these were so beautiful. I don't usually buy flowers but I couldn't resist these.

I had to have a good reason to buy them-so, I thought of my sweet niece Kristin. She made my new header for me. Thank you so much! You couldn't have done better for me. Love it. And you too.

And she gave me my first and probably my only blog award. I'm so excited. The thing of it is-she has to tell me how to link. Anyway she is Write it Down over on the side bar of my blog. She is so talented and the best Mom. She has the cutest boys and I'm very proud of her. Take a look.

I hope you all have a great weekend. We are finally having beautiful fall weather here in Central Florida.

Binky

This is Binky. When my 17 yr old was 6 she wanted a white kitty for her birthday. So off I go to the humane society. I started looking around and saw this little black kitty that was so calm and sweet. I was just going to hold him while I looked for the white kitty. No white kitties at all, so this guy came home with me. He has been the best until now. He is not well, it's just about time, he will let me know when he is ready. He has to be outside all the time now. He has taken up the bad habit of pooping on the bed if we let him in. It's awful! I had to throw away a down comforter last night. But we still love him. He just has to stay out. So it won't be long now, he is still eating and drinking, he is skin and bone. When I pick him up he purrrrs. He will let me know when it's time.

Happy November!

It's time to put that Halloween stuff away and focus on Thanksgiving! I don't have a lot for Thanksgiving, I put the jack-o-lanterns away and leave out the fall things. It's the easy way.

And then you know what comes next!

Have a great week!

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween to all!

Halloween costume in the making!

My daughter found this Betsy Johnson dress for $15.00 at a second hand shop. Isn't it great! First thing I thought of was Pebbles. So off I go to the thrift to find a bone. Guess what I find! Take a look at Bailey in the previous post. I was so excited, I thought she would be also. But no, she wants to be a cat. Oh well, I will save it for next year. Anyway she might change her mind. One more day!

Halloween

Bailey is ready

I love these white pumpkins. I got them at the thrift for $1.21 each.

Hope everyone has a fun and safe Halloween!

Homecoming!

Aren't they soooo cute!

Mine is the one on the right.

These are both mine. I'm so proud! They are both good kids.

She really liked her hair.

Thanks for looking and listening.

Why I go to Montana

The view from the front porch. That is Flathead Lake in the distance.

My little house. And yes, the living room is skinny.

My pictures are not very good. But I do hope to get better. I should have made the bed or closed the door. I didn't stay at the house because it is closed down for the winter. I stayed with my daughter in her new apt. in Whitefish Montana with a view of the ski mountain-not to shabby. She says she's living the life.

We call this the Florida room because it's all windows. We use it as a mud room.

When we bought the place there was a log across the doorway about 2feet off the floor. You had to step over it to get in the room. We have no idea why.

Another view of the Florida room/mud room.

A----- studying.

Friends

See you guys at Thanksgiving.

Everyone have a fun weekend.

Chaps!

I'm finally here again. I was in Spokane with my oldest daughter this week and couldn't wait to take her to my mostest favorite place-Chaps!

A----- absolutely loved it.

We didn't get there until 2pm and they closed at 3pm so we were the only ones there. It was great. Celeste came down stairs and was just to sweet. She actually remembered me from being there this summer during the Farm Chick Show. Really topped off our trip.

They are putting in a bakery. It will be done be Christmas. I'm sure it will be amazing.

So if you are in Spokane you have to go to Chaps.

Celeste, thanks for making me feel so special.

Look at what I got!

I'm so excited. My first Etsy buy and it could not be more perfect. From Tara at http://blondiensc.typepad.com/blondie_n_san_clemente/. The only problem now is she has another one. I can't have them all, I will let someone else have that one.
Thank you Tara!

Homecoming week!

This was 3 years ago. Now E.... on the right is a senior. My last homecoming, I have had 13 years straight years of homecomings. Lots and lots of dresses. I'm pretty good at it by now.

I have been pretty darn busy. Had a huge rummage sale last week at the school. We made over $4,000.00! Trying to buy our yearbook teacher a new Mac Lab.

And, I'm off to Montana on Monday. Meeting up with my oldest daughter A..... in Spokane so she can take her boards for Occupational Therapy Assistant. Then we drive over to Montana.
But not until we have dinner at Chaps. I better check to make sure it's open. My favorite place. I plan on checking out Spokane for some good shops. If anyone knows of good junk or thrift stores let me know.

I'm sorry I haven't been blogging much. If anyone is listening. I only know how to add my own pictures. I can't figure out how to add inspiration pictures or anything from other places, if that makes sense.

You all have a happy week!

Sue

WHAT IS IT!

This is by my front door right next to the mailbox. It's 6 inches long about 3 inches wide.

Woolly legs

Kind of pretty but scary.

I'm sure someone out there in blog land knows.
