Coffee Mugs

I'm a woman who likes her morning coffee!

My children know this! 

When Sara was little she picked out this mug for me on Mother's Day

I've kept it ever since!  

Last Mother's Day Sara & Tiger gave this to me!

I love it!  From a newborn to a two year old! 

I drink from this most mornings!

Yesterday my other daughter found this and sent it to me as a gift!  I think it says it all!

It is a travel mug and just perfect! 

So thank you to my sweet daughters and my darling grandson for three of my favorite things from three of my favorite people!

Wishing you JOY,

Thrifty Things Friday #119

Welcome to week #119 of

Diann and I are always so happy when you join us!

As you know I'm not doing much thrift shopping since I'm 'downsizing'...but...

It's hard to stop looking and of course when I look I usually find a little something I need!

I just had to have this cute little Rooster! 

A nice bright spot in the new kitchen for $1 

I've been doing a lot of summer reading in the evenings and was in need a few new books, so of course I go to the thrift shops

I found five books and the total was $2 for all!!

So what thrifty thing have you shared this week?

Please go over to The Thrifty Groove and link up your posts!

I'm also going to join the party at

Features From TTF #118

Diann and I want to thank all of you for joining us this week for TTF!!  So many great posts!

( When looking at posts to feature, I noticed some of you did not have a link back to TTF and The Thrifty Groove,  Remember you must have a link back to the party host on your post to be featured)

My first feature is from Denise...on a Whim!

Be sure to check out how she turned a $5 piece of 'junk' into an adorable pie safe!

I just love creative bloggers!

Which brings me to my other feature from Vicky at

Life On Willie Mae Lane

She took a couple of light fixtures that we all see at thrift shops and yard sales and turned them into the cutest solar lights!! 

I love TTF for all the inspiration I get from each of you every week! 

 See you tomorrow for TTF #119

And don't forget to visit Diann and see her features this week!

Charlie Kitty

Charlie has settled in pretty well to his new digs!

He stays close to me but I see him getting more comfortable every day! 

Today this made me so happy!

I've been waiting for Charlie to discover this window so he can sit and look outside.

Now that we have moved we no longer have the screened porch 

which was Charlie's favorite place!

Seeing him enjoy looking out the window is a favorite thing!

Mama are you taking my photo again??

Yes my sweet kitty boy I am! 

I'm joining Claudia for

A Favorite Thing

Wishing you JOY,

Linda
