Major Good Will Haul/ Show and Tell Friday

Good Evening Bloggers! I am participating in Cindy's Show and Tell Friday! Go over and visit her at My Romantic Home!!
I thought I would share with you my Good Will Haul. The total of the items below all together was 48.oo and some change. That is the most I have spent at Good Will in a while. I will have to do major purging in my home to justify all this,LOL. We are trying to purge for the move if it ever happens!!



These milk glass pieces were my finds of the day. Especially the covered dish. I love the grape pattern on them.





I thought these little shakers were so elegant. They are marked 7561 on the bottoms.




I haven't completely given up pink!!




I love the fall colors on this little china cup!




This little hurricane lamp is so pretty. I love the blue roses!






I found these two weight watchers cook books. I thought they might motivate me to lose weight. The weight watchers diet worked for me before. I saw how beautiful Cindy at My Romantic Home is since she lost her weight (she was beautiful before. So she has motivated me to want try again. I will not be as beautiful as Cindy, but I can at least be skinny. The little bowl is one of my milk glass finds!!






I love boxes. I especially loved this christmas box!!




These paper mieche (don't know how to spell) will not be the same when I get done with them. I will post the final product once I get them done. It will have to be after we sell the house.......if we ever get it sold. Lots of lookers , but no takers. Our house is in pristine condition, go figure.




Vintage hats are another weakness of mine. This purple and white one had to come home with me. It needs some work, does anyone know how to get a fold out of a velvet bow.





I love blue roses. This sheet is so pretty. I proably will not use it as a sheet. I will make something or use it some other way.





I really am not into animal prints all that much. But the color of this was so beautiful and I just love the ruffles. It's a Koret Brand. I think Kohl's carries that brand. I really don't know.




I have found my self the past three months being drawn to earth tones, both in dress and decorating. This shirt is a St.John's Bay, Sears Brand.






I just love this gown. It is so dainty. It is a Shadowline Brand. Another store in the Mall that specializes in lingerie. I love the aqua color and the lace on the bust area. I know, what the heck am I doing showing my nighties on the world wide net!!

Health Update/ Thrifty Food Processor

Good Evening Bloggers!!
I feel so blessed. I got really good news about the test results of the colonoscopy!
The doctor says I am cancer free! I do not have to have another test for two years. It had been once a year!! I am so thankful for all the prayers that went out for me.

I wanted to share with you what a great thrifty buy my husband and I got on a brand new Kenmore Elite food processor. We bought the one on display. The original price was 175.00 and some change. When the cashier rang it up it was only 122.00 and some change because it was a display model. We had received a 70.00 gift card from Sears when we bought our new refrigerator about a month ago. So we applied that to the cost. Another big surprise the cashier told us we were now eligible for a 20.00 gift card. With all the discounts the Food processor cost only 30.00. Now I cannot express how excited I am about this. I know , I know its only a food processor. But little things excite me, especially when we get a great bargain!! So here are the photos of this bad boy.










This food processor is really huge and very heavy. I am so happy about having this , it will really help me at holiday times.






I thought I would give you up close photo of the stainless steel part of the appliance.






I love that it came with a storage container to store the blades. My last food processor I spent half my time chasing down where I put the blades. This will keep all the parts organized.

Thank you Friends/ Goodwill Haul

Good Evening My blogger Friends. I first want to thank everyone for their prayers that I will be cancer free. Unofficially the doctor thinks I am cancer free, but he did remove a polyp. So he has to send it off for testing. I should know next week the official results.

I was in a seminar on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy today. So on my lunch hour I stopped by the Goodwill that was near by. So I wanted to share my finds with you!!




I just thought these little sandles were so cute! I don't know if they are good brand name or not. But I sure do love them and they are in good condition.




The brand name of the sandals






Inside Rockport shoes posted below.



You all know I don't really like to buy used shoes. But these brown shoes with pink interior are in great conditiion. They are Rockport Brand.







This is just a simple flannel pull over jacket. It is brand new from QVC, it is made by Denim and Company. I can wear it as a casual knock around jacket.







Look at the color of this sweater and the embroidery. It is a Bob Macki design. I have a jacket designed by him with some bright colorful embroidery. This is brand new,not a flaw, the tags are still on it.







Of course this scarf is pink with pink roses. So how could I pass it up!





I thought the silk ribbon embroidery on these valances was so pretty. I hope I can use them in the new house. If not I will have to figure out something else to do with them.








I found these Avon eggs, they depict each season. Unfortunately I broke the summer egg before I even got it out of the store. This is the fall Egg. Each egg has a saying on the back , but the pictures I took of them you cannot read the words.



This is the Winter Egg! I just love cardinals, they are the my Home state , state bird.





Third Egg

I am entering this give away!!

Go check out this beautiful cranberry glass that this wonderful blogger is giving away.

Prayer request/Yard Sale Finds

Good Evening Bloggers! Please keep me in your prayers tomorrow. I had colon cancer about two years ago. I was free from it last year. I go for my annual colonoscopy tomorrow morning so please pray I have good results like I did last year.

I thought I would post my weekend yard sale finds!! I promised my sweet hubby that for each piece I brought into the house, I would take out a piece to give to Goodwill. So I gotta start digging for something to get rid of,I did find two pillow shams, I think that will count for two pieces don't you? lol


These two plates were 4.oo at Home Goods Store. I paid a dollar for both at a yard sale. They are pink and green with roses , how could I not buy them.








These two little embroidered doilies were a dollar. The lady who sold them to me said that her grandmother hand made these. I don't believe I could sell something my grandmother handmade. I would pass them down to my children as family heirlooms. But that is just me






These two little tea towels are so pretty. I love the embroidered birds and they are each different. They cost me a dollar.







I paid .25 cents for this. I thought I could use it somehow on the fourth or memorial days.







This is a square table topper. You all know I love embroidery. Isn't the cutwork lace so beautiful on this one. Also I love the tone on tone colors as well!








This is another up close of the table topper.






I have a love for baskets. I didn't realize it was Home Interior until I got it home. I paid two dollars.




This is the tag showing the Home Interiors brand name!












In earlier post I showed the books I found on The Left Behind Series. This weekend I found the whole series on audio cassette. I was so excited!! She was asking 7.00 but she let me have them for 5.00.

I am joining the fun and I hope I win!!

Show and Tell Friday

Good Evening Blogger Friends!! I wanted to touch base with everyone. I tell you we have been busy here in South Carolina!! We have had people looking at the house since Sunday afternoon. Everyday before I go to work , I get the real life picked up and set the house up for showing.
Our Realtor called tonight to let us know that a potential buyer was trying to decide between our house and another. They do not like that we don't have a HOA, but are really liking our house. Pray for us that it sells soon. I am tired. LOL.
I thought I would share some treasures from this past weekend for show and tell friday. Please join Cindy at My Romantic Home for Show and Tell Friday










While my husband was out golfing this past Saturday, I went to yard sales, Goodwill, and did some shopping at a store we have here called Ole Time Pottery. I thought I would share this little cream colored urn and the hydrangeas I bought. The urn was 4.00 and hydrangeas were a 1.99 a stem. I know, I know I could have bought the vase for 50 cents and flowers alot cheaper at yard sale. But sometimes , you just have to have something new. I wanted to freshen my kitchen table up a bit since we are showing our house to potential buyers.








OMG!! This was my most favorite find of the weekend. A Susan Branch Scrapbook/cookbook. Never been opened , brand new. For 2.00. I don't know what the cost in a retail store would be, but 2.00 was a bargain for me.



I thought I would show you some pages from the scrabook.






Page from Susan Branch scrapbook!



A page from the Susan Branch scrap book.








These three little plastic storage canisters cost 1.50. I thought they would be great to store pasta, rice or even craft beads and supplies!! The colors are blue, purple and pink.












This little gravy bowl was 50 cents at a yard sale this past weekend. It says on the bottom it is made in USA. I will buy anything made in our country to support our country.

Goodwill and yard sale finds.

Hello Bloggers. I hope this week is going well for you so far. I am so excited we had some people look at our house this weekend and they really liked it. They are still in the early stages of their search but our house has not been ruled out.
Also we have some others who are coming to look at it tommorrow. I am keeping my fingers crossed it will be sold soon.

I thought I would share my Goodwill finds with you and one yard sale find. My friends I am very funny about buying used shoes or even used clothing. But these shoes and jacket was just too nice to pass by. I sprayed the shoes with Lysol just in case.









These little brown sweade shoes are in such good condition , I just love them! A 2.92. Good Will find.












I just love the lacy look of these sandles. Another 2.92 Goodwill find.













These little lattice weave shoes are just so cute. 2.92











I found this little fall sweater at a yard sale for 2.oo. I love the glitter around the leaves. The leaves are so colorful

Yard sale finds!!

Good Evening my dear blogger friends!! I thought I would share some yard sale finds from this past weekend.
I know , I know , I said I wasn't going to thrift until after the move. But my addiction kicked into withdrawals, so that was it.
Hope everyone has a wonderful week.






This silver mirror was four dollars. I may paint it black. I don't plan to hang it until we get the new house. If we ever sell this house.







This little black piece was 50 cents. I am beginning to like black a lot in decorations.









This picture is the same print we have in pictures that are already on my living room wall. But I mostly bought this one for the frame. I think it is so pretty. The picture was 1.00.








I bought this little cut glass basket for 50 cents. I have a passion for cut glass.








I will probably use this fabric for a quilt for a child. I can't believe these fabric pieces were only 2.00 each











This fabric I hope to make a hand bag. I love the vividness of the colors

Random Post- Lost two followers.

I am concerned that in the last two weeks I have lost two followers. I am not sure why. I don't think I have posted anything inappropriate on anyone blog. If I have I certainly have not meant too.
Please those of you whose chose not to follow me anymore. Please let me know why!!

Things I have collected the past year.

As you know I have been decluttering my home and packing for the move. If we ever sell our house. I found a whole box of brand new stuff I have found at yard sales over the year. I keep a box of new things and if I can't use them I pass them on to my family members.
The kids when they visit tell me its like Christmas every time they come for a visit.
I love a bargain, so I always buy it if I can use it, or if a member of my family would like it.
I thought I would share my loot with my blogger friends. I hope everyone has a good week.
