This week Ivy and Elephants shared this post called Bubblicious
I fell in love with this idea of a gum machine full of beautiful pearls!  
Thank you Patti for linking up this amazing idea!

I turned a little 'green' with envy at the post on
She said it was a 'yard sale jackpot' and she wasn't kidding!  This set of Federal Bowls is only one of the many amazing items she bought!

Settling In

Are you bored with my moving posts yet?
Sorry my friends, it's all I've got right now! 
 I brought Charlie home and this was his reaction!
He kept looking around, like where am I????
He has settled in nicely!
Watching TV with me last night on my new sofa
  I love it!  

Thought I would share with you the view from my front door!
My neighbor's door is to the right...
She has all these wonderful flowers and I get to enjoy them also!
They (meaning not me) mowed the grass this morning so everything looks great! 
    My side of the parking pad.  
As you can see the duplex's are not right on top of each other.  
It is really quiet and lovely here.  The deer come out every morning and evening.   I will try to get a photo of the two babies.  They don't seem to be too afraid!
I got some more unpacked today.  I had to take a long break since I got sick last week.  I'm all better now but had a very rough couple of days.  It felt good to get the Pyrex unpacked and put away and the Paris things back in the cubbies!
I received my new book for the book club that Brenda at Cozy Little House is starting.    I have never been in a book club but this one is online and sounds fun.  Check it out!  So far the book is really good!

Many of you asked for my new address when I moved.  You know I can't remember who...lol!
If you would like it just let me know in the comments or email me and I'll send it to you!

I'm going to party here this week!


Wishing you JOY,

Linda

Thrifty Things Friday #116


I thought I would give you an update on the move!
We got here just fine and unloaded the truck in record time.  Sara helped me unpack the kitchen on Thursday.  I unpacked a lot of boxes in the next few days!
This is the very empty (except for boxes) living room.  I will have a new sofa delivered this Saturday and I'm very excited.  I shopped the 4th of July sales and got a good deal!
The other end of this room is the dining area!
A work in progress as you can tell!

The kitchen is coming together and is neater then this now.  Still so much unpack and figure out where it all needs to go.  

This is the spare bedroom aka dish storage/craft room/guest bedroom.
It was honestly worse then this to start but I've been busy!
It's getting there!  I still have lots of things to unpack and totes to find a storage place for, but I can move around in here now.
Dish closet in progress! 
Temporary home for the glassware.  I need something with doors on it to protect from little hands.  It will be on 'thrifting' list.  

Of course I had to set up a play area for Tiger right away.  
This has books and toys ready for his visits!
He has already enjoyed playing with them!
This adorable book was 15 cents at the thrift shop!

I needed a lamp and I found one at the thrift shop.
I had the shade but I love this glass lamp base.  It is heavy and very pretty.  The cheapest lamps at Target were $19 and this was $8 and it's gorgeous! 

I am heading back to my old house to pack more things (yes, I have more stuff to move) but the main reason for this trip is to bring Charlie home with me!  

I hope you will visit Diann and see what everyone is linking up for this weeks TTF! 
Wishing you all a fabulous
4th of July!
