Good Evening Bloggers. Jimminy Cricket! Did it ever rain here in Myrtle Beach today. I can not remember when we last had a down pour like it did today. The worse part was I had to drive home in the worst of all the mess. The rain was needed though, over the weekend we had over 8 acres to burn almost jeopardizing several homes in this near by community. Thank the good Lord there was only one injury as a result. A fireman turned his truck over somehow. I do not know the full details of that incident. I wanted to share my weekend sewing project, some Goodwill finds and some yard sale finds. I know that sounds like a long post. However, compared to previous post this one is quite short. I hope you enjoy! Sewing project! I sewed this little toddlers dress this weekend. When it was finished, I texted my daughter and my daughter in law and attached this photo. I told them " Somebody better get busy". LOL
Goodwill Finds!! I happened upon these two teacup and saucer pairs at Goodwill. They were 1.91 each. I had not found any pretty cups and saucers for awhile. Not even at my yard sales.
These classic little blue willow saucers were 1.91.
Yard sale finds!! I am attracted to all things made of wood. I paid 1.00 for this at the yard sales. I have a smaller one made out of cherry wood, if I find one more I will display them as a collection.
This lamp was 2.00 at a yard sale. I wish there had been two of them. I have no clue where I will use this single lamp, but I will think of something!

  1. Your first little cup is like one I use on a daily basis,Duchess,but mines pink roses. Your white cut work round table cloth is exactly the same as one I just bought at a thrift shop here on holidays,.
    Pretty little dress too. xx

  6. Hi Susan - I really love the purple tea cup - all your finds where great. But you get the awards for "best buy" on the fall finds.

    I love MB, I am from Charleston originally and we still go to Surf Side every summer. Thanks so much for stopping by with your sweet comments on my coffee table.

  10. Hi Susan,
    Oh what a darling sweet dress you created. It will be ready for a dear grandchild hopefully soon.

    Love all your finds. You have the best GoodWill. Your post below was fun to visit too. Love your altered bottles. So pretty.

    My Paul Longpre print like yours was also with a gold frame. At first, I too painted it ROB, but with my redos, I just changed it to white. You will love the bronze too as it did look pretty.

    Hugs, Celestina Marie
