WHAT'S UP WEDNESDAY 8-3-11

What a week of mixed emotions for me...

I helped my daughter Ashleigh pack up her apt for her move to Calif.    It was wonderful to spend three days together but also hard to say goodbye.  Some tears but also such joy for her as she starts this new phase of her life.  She has promised to fly me out to see her new home this fall!

See you soon Ash!

I then went to help Sara and Blake move back home from summer camp.  Blake is doing well and his ankle is healing but he is still on crutches.  Sara also started work Monday and it was her first day away from Tiger.  I took care of him most of the day and while we had 'moments' it went well.  Tiger is now in 'Daddy Day Care' and it looks like they are having great fun.  Check out this cute video!

Tiger has grown so much and is showing even more of that wonderful personality of his.

He is reaching for the toys on his play mat

He then brings it down to his face and tries to put everything in his mouth of course!

I love his surprised look when he 'gets it'

Tiger you are the sweetest Grandson in the world!

'I love you too Grandma!'

I'm getting ready for the WLYS and can't wait to see what treasures I find this year!

Hugs,

Linda

THRIFTY GREEN GLASS FRIDAY

I haven't been thrifting much in the past few weeks.  I've been busy and with the longest yard sale coming I've been saving my pennies for that!  Still last week I found this great glass jar.

It was only 50 cents so I could not pass it up

 I added it to a windowsill with some other green items
I love the way it looks...


I plan to add some more glass to my window sills and I hope I find some great bargains like this bottle on my trip next week


I am joining Diann for

 I hope you will stop by Diann's party and enjoy the fun posts.  Diann is having a giveaway so head on over! 


Happy Junkin,

BUSY AS A BEE & THE WINNER IS

I have such a busy week ahead of me.  

Monday I go and help my oldest daughter pack up her apartment. 

She is finally moving to California!  

I am so happy for her but sad at the same time.  Ashleigh works for Google and has been in Atlanta since she started with them in 2004.  She has moved up in the company and it's finally time for her to move to Calif and work at the 'Googleplex' in Mountain View. 

Check out this video!

I will miss having her so close but I know this is the best thing for her career, and hey who wouldn't love to work there!

Good news I will get to visit her! 

Later in the week I will be going back to camp to help Sara & Blake pack up to return home...this means

TIGER TIME!

I know he has grown so much since last time I saw him! 

It will be a hard week for me but also filled with joy! 

 The winner of the 

'Let me shop for you on the WLYS'

is

Deb at Garage Sale Gal  

I am very excited to shop for her!

Hoping everyone is staying cool in this heat!

A BASKET OF THRIFTY FINDS

I am like most of you and sweltering in this heat wave!  This week I went out only when I had too.   Last Friday there was a moving sale in my neighborhood.  It was easy to just run over there to see what they had.  I'm glad I went early because people were grabbing items left and right!  I was amazed at the great prices and keep piling up stuff...oh my!

This is most of what I found including this basket for 50 cents

I found so many interesting and useful items I kept buying and buying

A vintage postcard and two brooches
75 cents total

Rooster S&P set $1

Some cat items, pink items and some amazing dishes

This pattern is called 'GEORGIA" by Johnson Bros...I got two dinner plates, 2 square plates and 2 saucers for $3

 

The seller had so many lovely plates

I choose these 6 bread plates in fall colors

Two round tablecloths, a glass frog and several items not shown that will be Christmas presents.  It was a great sale and I left with a huge smile on my face!
