A Little Bit of Fall

Hello everyone! I’m so happy, I’ve finally learned how to load and post pictures from

my iphone onto windows 10…how did I do it? What I should have did in the first

place… Googled it! At least two months of this and what I’m surprised at is my son

not doing it. Oh well, I’m just glad that I’ll be able to get back into blogging again, I’ve

missed everyone and all of the parties that I wasn’t able to join in, now I’ll be joining

in on all the Friday ones today!

These pictures were taken with my phone and at night so please bare with me!

I have this cloche on my desk in the livingroom, doesn’t the pumpkin look real? Wish I

could remember where I bought it!

I have painted a few things on my bloggy break such as the little cupboard from Michael’s that

I had painted black and the child’s chair that I got from the curb! Now I have a fall pillow on it!

See my new knob from Hobby Lobby on the cupboard, I can’t stay out of that store.lol

Here is a closer look at the pitcher.

I printed this I think last year so I forget who I got it from, let me know it is you ok? It is sitting

on my kitchen shelf with my .50 glass squirrel from Avon!

My mantel, funny how I do it different each year but with the same “stuff”

do you do the same thing or buy new?

Okay guys, I took more pictures so I’ll be sharing those soon…now here are parties I’ll be joining, It’s so

good to be back!

That's why I haven't been posting, well that and recovering from my operation. When I was recovering I really didn't feel like posting because there wasn't much to post about except for
how great my family was at the time and how well the nurses on my floor took care of me. Also
just thankful for being alive, it was touch and go there for a while that night! I'd like to say also
that if I hadn't stopped smoking over two years ago I know in my heart that I wouldn't have made it!

My laptop was old with windows 7 and not being computer savvy I didn't want to go on to windows
8...scared to death but here I am now with windows 8 and soon it will be windows 10!!! On my old
laptop it would get so hot you couldn't touch it an then would shut down without any warning,
it did it once while I was writing a post and it was all gone so I decided to wait, my son had my new

laptop and had to return it. So I'm back now and ready to decorate!!!

Now I can't load my pictures from my iphone or camera, my son is coming for dinner tonight so maybe tomorrow I'll get back in the swing of things after he shows me how!

Here are two oldie but goodies, I don't like to post without pictures, for you!
This bench I found at a yardsale for $15.00, Michael was home this past weekend, he is putting his
cottage by the bay up for sale and I gave him this to put in his mudroom.

I have so much to show you!

Yardsale, Boating and Swimming

Did you ever go to an amazing yardsale? I did a few weeks ago, everything priced right

and new…you see the lady who had the sale was a manager of Penny’s and when the

Penny’s closed where she worked everything was on sell super cheap. I guess she bought a lot

because everything had a price tag still on it. I do wish I would have bought the lantern

type candle holders in the front there but I didn’t=)

I bought to much jewelry but the price was to fantastic to pass up!

Now the clothes were a dollar a piece a lot of small sizes but I managed to find

a few that fit and was thrilled when I found one item that I’ve looked for all last

winter…I’ll show you in my next post.

I’ve been wanting one of these for Buster for a while now but didn’t want to pay

the price for one. I bought it for $5.00, couldn’t believe it, still in great condition!

Buster can eat comfortably now, it also cut down on a lot of mess from the dog

bowls.

She also had a duck, not for sale though, he was swimming in a kiddy pool.

The lady said he was going to a farm that weekend because it was getting

to be to much.

We have also been boating a lot this summer, last Sunday we were on the water all day,

the weather was beautiful.

Also had a great 4th of July this year, all my kids were here and the grandkids

for the holiday. My oldest grandchild Sydney, she has had the braces on for

over a month!

This one is so much fun, he isn’t afraid of anything! He loves the water and loves to

jump in even off the diving board, here he is with his mom and dad.

I’ve been babysitting a lot so far, here he is going down the slide as

you can see he loves Batman

Well, that’s what I’ve been doing since my last post, as I said before I promised myself

that I would enjoy this summer, the grands are growing up so fast and I do want to

be with them.

Yard Sale over the Weekend

Hello everyone!

I hope you are all doing well and enjoying these last days of summer,

I can’t believe how fast it went by, my granddaughters go back to school

next week already.

Over this past weekend I joined a friend at her home for a 3 day yard sale, they

are such hard work aren’t they? Especially when you have to transfer your junk

over to a different place, Paula’s sister-in-law and daughter Becca were there selling too,

so there were the four of us. We did really well, here is my pile before going in the car.

I’m glad it’s over though…I was in bed at 10 every night!

I did find somethings to buy and I think I got some great deals.

Becca had some neat things on her table…

such as these three Clarins products that she

bought but never used, about $70.00 in product, I know I used to sell it. Becca sold it to me for,get

this…$5.00, so if you see me with my boobs up

under my chin you will surely know that they work! Ha!

A pillow for a $1.00 from the SIL, it sort of reminded me of a Pottery Barn one. I love the little lobster down in the right hand corner.

$5.00 is all Becca asked for these barely worn Skechers I’ve always wanted

a pair to run to the store or to get gas…love them!

Anyone have a yardsale this year? How did it go? I would love to hear about it.

I’ll be joining:

Yardsales at Pike Days

I do love it when there are so many yardsales that you can’t decide which one to go to first. That’s what it was like last weekend.

Yardsale after Yardsale!

Here’s what I found…

An Ironstone gravy boat, I saw it on a table surrounded by other glassware and picked it up keeping my fingers crossed that it might be ironstone. It’s very used and grazed and I’ve been having fun putting it here and there.

Like here with the old bottles.

Or here with the tarnished silver plate, btw it only cost me .25, can you believe it?

For some odd reason I have these four vases, every time I see one I have to get it, I think it’s the little handles on the sides of them that gets me.lol

I found this one at the estate sale along with the McCoy Pottery'.

I’ve been looking for these type of pictures for a while and got them each for .50 a piece! One is labeled April and the other is July!

I leave you with this pic of my summer vignette for the coffeetable. Ironstone bowl filled with shells from Marshall’s, white wicker tray from a church sale and the blue glass jar with jute on sale at TJMaxx!

Estate Sale & McCoy Pottery

Hello everyone! Did you have a great weekend? I know I did because we had National Pike Days here. I was out Friday and Saturday. What was great also was the weather perfect for yard sales!
While out I found an estate sale…

I spent $11.00 while there! I found three pieces of McCoy pottery… #1

I put them on my mother’s end table that I have in the diningroom…

I added to my clock collection too while there, I was lucky to find the darker face one.

Next post I’ll show what I found at the yard sales, it was a glorious two days, so stay tune for that!
I’ll be at these parties:

Hydrangeas on a Black Door

Hello everyone!
While shopping a few weeks back I found the hydrangeas in a tin pail at Kirklands. Loved the sage green satin ribbon tied to hold the pail flat against the door. I needed something new(you know how that is) and had bought a spring wreath but it just didn’t show up on the black door to my surprise! Maybe because I only had the wreath out as my start of spring decorating on the porch.

Now the white rocker is out and a pillow placed on it, see the green pot by the rocker? I found that at Dollar General a month or so ago and should have bought two…

For the past couple years I’ve been buying pansies at the beginning of the spring season, my mom loved them and had told me that her maternal grandparents had raised them and sold them. Here is a picture of my grandmother, Rondell and the pansies that her parents grew, I’m thinking this is about 1915/16.
