Diann and I are so glad to see you this week for

After a snowy and icy week I'm ready for some fun!

I have two new additions to my egg cup collection I haven't shared with you yet.

This pretty blue and white egg cup is not marked but I love the design and color.

Now this is a great find...

This cute egg cup is marked Japan

Look at the tail...

It's the salt shaker!  How cute is that! 

Both of these will be making their appearance soon when I decorate the cubbies with my egg cup collection.  I have missed them and think I'll bring them out after Valentine's day. 

Both of these cups were found at thrift shops!

So what thrifty thing do you have to share this week?  Link up your post HERE

A Lotta Love!

How did it get to be February 10th already?

I finally got out a few Valentine decorations

One of the cubbies mostly in RED!

and one mostly in Pinks!

A couple of Valentines in cute little photo holders

A vintage valentine and a tag from a swap last year.  

Of course a Red Eiffel Tower!

I love this sweet gift bag and I think I will frame it.

A vintage pink ring box and a big ole 'diamond'

Just a few little touches here and there for fun!

I got my new shelves in the house!

Love them!  Charlie photo bombing while he checks out this new addition to his home!

I can't wait to get them decorated...but

I have been unpacking some more boxes and just sitting things on the shelves until I decide what to do with them.  THIS IS NOT HOW I PLAN ON IT LOOKING!! :)

One shelf has some ironstone and some white pottery planters.  

It needs tweaking but I do like these on the shelves.

This set of vintage dishes might be for sale, so I need to take photos to list them.

The desk will get organized also I promise. 

Just wanted to keep it real around here. 

I really do not want so much clutter but until I can decide what to keep and what to get rid of I have stuff everywhere!  I really am working on it.  I donated a huge load of pottery planters to the thrift store the other day.  It's a start! 

My favorite heart, made for my by my Dad!

We are in for another snow and ice storm so I should have plenty of time to work on the house this week.  My daughter Ashleigh is coming for a visit on the 14th so I have to get the spare room ready for her.  Lot's to do!

Thrifty Things Friday #146

Diann and I are so glad you could join us this week!

Yesterday I checked out my local thrift shops!
I have been looking for a china hutch or some sort of cabinet to put in the 'dining' area of my duplex.  I saw this!

Photo taken with my cell phone so not a great pic!
The shelves are great, the large 'door' drops down and becomes a little desk and it has two drawers and a closed cabinet.  For $80 I was really thinking this would be great! 
Still I wanted to sleep on it.
Today I decided it would be perfect storage and asked my son in law Blake if he could meet me there to pick it up in his truck! 

Which is where it still is.  He took this photo but the wood is really darker then this photo.
It is one heavy piece of furniture so he is trying to find someone to help him unload it. 

Still I'm so excited to get this and then clean it up and load it up!  
What is your latest thrifty find??

Join Diann and I HERE!

Wishing you JOY,

Linda

What Did I Buy??

It was fun seeing what you all thought I would buy from my thrifting adventure in Texas!

My first buy was...

This ironstone creamer~99cents and so cute!

It's smaller then you might think and I'll share where I put it at a later time! 

Some of you figured I would get this..and I did!

Next

Oh yes, the Eiffel Tower shower hooks!  I've been working on my master bathroom trying to put some Paris touches in there, so this was an exciting find.  $2.99 and well worth it.

Many of you picked this!

Next

A few of you thought I would get this! 

I love it and again it will probably go in the master bathroom.  It was $4.99 w/30% off!

Next

The Denver coffee mug! 

I admit this was a 'ringer' since I knew only one person would think I bought this and it was Kathe, and she did!  

BUT....I had some thrifters 'remorse' and went back the next day to pick up a few items I left behind!   I called Tiger's parents about the night light and they are getting him something special for his birthday so I passed on that, but I did buy!

This adorable frame.  I gave it to Tiger yesterday and he loves it!  He already put a photo of him and a friend in it! 

Cute!

I also bought something I wasn't going to since I'm downsizing but then I really kept thinking about it and almost ALL of you thought I would buy this so well....I did!

It really is cute and was only 99cents so I just had to add it to my collection!

Now the last item I went back to buy was something many of you thought I would buy.  I looked it up on line and saw a new one would be $21.99 plus shipping so this was a good deal at $3.99

The Butter Bell. It says 'Butter' on one side and the other 'Beurre' French of course!  When the girl rang up my purchases and told me my total I knew it was too low.  I asked if this was on sale and she said no it's .99, I showed her it was $3.99 but she said, oh that's OK.  So I got this for .99....super score!  So glad I went back for these items.

If you guessed any of the original four items I put your name in the bowl.  I tried to get Charlie to pick one, but he was not cooperating.  So I closed my eyes and choose.....

Mary @ Ms Redo for the winner!

Then I took the names of everyone who choose something from the day two purchase and did a 2nd chance drawing.

Again Charlie was no help so I closed my eyes and choose.....

Sheryl....no blog, so please contact me with your mailing address asap! 

Oh and Kathe, since you are the only one who picked the Denver mug, you will be getting a little something also!
