Blue Monday

Hit the jackpot at the flea market. The thrifty items offered had moved up a notch this week.

Found these eight items

and a couple include 'Blue'

 

Thinking this pretty stained glass ornament

with the 'Blue' iris will look

nice on the bathroom window.

This 'Blue' striped crock could be used in multiple places.

Decisions, Decisions, Decisions, sigh.

 Total - less than $15.00

You can't beat 'controlled' Thrifting ; )

Blue Moon July 31, 2015

When a full moon occurs twice in one month

it's called a 'blue moon'.

BLUE MONDAY



Gotcha!

This culprit has been taunting and alluding me for weeks

Friday as I was taking water shots,

I heard the usual '1' croak and then silence.

It's been hopeless, so I continued concentrating on the waterfall.

Then as I made my way around the garden pond . . . there he was.

Spying on me through the leaves all along.

 

GOTCHA

Fence Found

Bass Tournament night at the lake.

So Lucy and I went in search of a fence

 

Found this one along a country road

we don't frequent very often.

 

 

While searching I snapped several more country barns

which I will share another day.

Love of Tapestry

The word tapestry derives from Old French,

meaning "to cover with heavy fabric".

It would seem that 'tapestry' is

woven (pun accidental) into my collections.
 

Here are Four Tapestry Thrifting Finds



 And these two are for Traveling

 

This one carries my thrifting funds.

 

This one carries my trusty Kodak.

 

This one carries my mp3 player.

And this one is for whatnots.

This one's travels span two generations.

 

This one awaits it's maiden voyage.

 

Something that encourages me is this
We see the underside of our
 life's tapestry from below. God sees
our life's completed tapestry from above.

Living a Simple Life Being Thrifty

In a nutshell, for me being thrifty means:

1.Prioritizing
2.Living within my means
3.Not wasting

Today I'm sharing my nifty thrifty finds of this past Sunday and a couple more thrown in.
Inspite of gray skies, high humidity and a threat of showers off the RG (retired gardener) and I went to the local flea market. And here is what I gathered  for a total of less than $10.00.

This is probably my favorite thing. It's a nice heavy metal and I have a color scheme in mind for painting so it will probaly be a show and tell at some point. Not sure where it will go or what it will hold but I just love it. Suggestions????

Isn't this the prettiest plate? Originally bought it for under a flowerpot but now I can't bring myself to hide it there. Will probably use it to cheer up a sandwich at lunch from time to time.

(it appears larger in the photo)

These baskets nest inside one another and have already made their home on the side porch.

I've been on a white pitcher search lately. One has been added to the bathroom and the other in the bedroom.

These two wooden signs will go outside. Not sure where just yet. Will have to do some walking around first.

 Although I kind of like where this one is resting right now.

And these are two previous finds.

 This handsome guy with his foot raised to strut is on the a wall in the kitchen.

Note the lovely Sarah Bernstein peony blooming. I just love peonies. 

and the RG found this versatile stand at the end of a driveway marked 'take me I'm free'.

Wouldn't you know he would be more thrifty than me, sigh.

Today I will live a simple life that reflects good stewardship of the resources God has given me.

Time for Nifty Thrifty Tuesday at Coastal Charm


This is a collection of finds from the Sunday Flea Market.
The minute I spied this box I knew what its re-purpose was and now it sits on my desk and hides my multi USB dock and various wires connected to it.

As you can see it was definitely over priced and the offer I made was taken. Still too much but when I knew exactly what I wanted it for, and it needed nothing done but a shining well ...

These were 2 for a quarter and you might wonder why I would take the used one. Keep scrolling

This began to emerge before my very eyes. (taking license with my imagination here)

And this is what it turned out to be tucked in the center. I could block it as is but it looks like it could use a finishing border. Someday, sigh.

As you know from a past post I am a fan of tapestry and this little boxy case is perfect for my new camera. The placemats are reversable so the bright yellow one went here
And its flipped sister went here.

Can one ever have too many placemats? I think not.

I see many are ahead of me over a Coastal Charm. Better hurry.
