A Little Target Shopping!

I did a little Target shopping today. Boy, I couldn't believe how quiet the store was, not very many people there. My goal was a coffee maker! I got a little side-tracked somehow and ended up in the clearance section. Wow, they were running some pretty good sales. I picked up a set of twin flannel sheets for $4.98. I also found the sweet throw blanket shown above for $6.98. And is it the softest blanket! We have a blanket we like to throw over ourselves when watching T.V. but it's getting pretty worn. I would have bought two if they had another one. I know it's going to be a race to this one! But I'm up for the challenge!!! Oh yes, I did get a coffee maker, but the burner on it isn't heating up, just like the one I had to replace. Sounds pretty suspicious doesn't it! I'll let #1 figure that one out.

My Week-End Finds!

Ok, so Mr.Riley thinks he needs to check out every piece that I bring home from my adventures on the week-end! If he could get that little thumb up, I think he would give this find a "thumbs up"! This is a bunch of wood numbers from 0 to 9 with quite a few of each number.

I was able to do some estate shopping this week-end. I didn't get my name on any list but I was able to find a few things! I did bring home five pieces of furniture, which is good and bad. I don't have room in the shop to restock my booth so I store it here at home. I did put a few pieces on consignment though, which helps.

Here are a few little things I picked up.

I believe this is a laundry bag. I've never seen on quite like it. I also picked up a sweet shoe bag made from the same fabric.

Then lastly, my #1 and I went to an auction on Friday night. There weren't a whole lot of things I was interested in but this child's stroller came up and there wasn't a lot of action on it soo.... I went for it!

Well, that's all for now, got to get going! Thank you for stopping by!

A Visit From A Sweet Friend!

Today I had a wonderful treat! My good friend Vicki came by for lunch. It was fun getting together, sharing ideas and catching up on everything that's been happening. I thoroughly enjoy talking with her as she is an extremely talented artist, full of wonderful ideas and projects. She was so sweet and brought me a beautiful gift with so many goodies in it. There were beautiful stars, that she made with lots of bling and even a sweet vintage rhinestone clock, which she knew I would love,and I did! She is just starting a blog so be sure to drop by and see what she has been up too. She is a wonderful photographer of vintage items so I'm sure you will enjoy it.

The World of Narnia Comes To An End.

This was a fast and furious week-end. Filled to the brim with the world of Narnia. We had six shows this week-end plus a strike party after the show. I feel like I need another week-end, to feel like I had a week-end. I didn't hit any estate sales, but it didn't look like much was going on. I don't think I would have had time to go anyway. One of the many things I had to do this week-end was take down the items in the window at Monticello. Our month was over, so we squeezed that in between a couple of shows and were able to get it cleaned up. I picked up a few items while I was there. They were having a "Superbowl Sale" so most of the booths had discounts.

The sweet little cream pottery vase above was one of the items I found.

I also picked up this old music book from the 1800's. Besides music there are pictures of composers, which I just love.

I also found a pink hat with pretty millinery flowers on it. I wasn't so interested in the hat, but I can always use the flowers.

Here is a thrift store find from yesterday. A pretty vintage lamp shade in cream and pink.

Then finally, I got a wonderful surprise on Friday night. I knew my sister, husband and three of their kids were driving from Medford to come to my son's play. What I didn't know was my niece and her husband and their sweet baby, my grandniece were coming too! Little Alexis is 2 months old and all I have seen have been photos. How wonderful to actually be able to see and hold my little grandniece.

Babies are truly a gift from God!

This week I will be working on laundry. One of my jobs I have for the Narnia play is to wash costumes. I took home all the furry animal costumes. Let me tell you there were quite a few of them!

Thank you for stopping by!
