WeekEnD FiNdS & MoRe

Hello all, how is your weekend going??
I thought I would post some pics of a hodge podge of things.
This is some of my yard sale finds this weekend.

I got the magazines for 10 cents. I like to read them , check out any ideas/recipes, and then pass them on.
I also got 2 of the hardbacks I had been wanting to read. I got "The Prodigal", and "Betrayal"( I think thats the name). They are wrote in an Amish setting. They were 50 cents each.
Pink salt shaker was 10 cents. I am going to use it for glitter. :)
Green and cream plaid curtains were $3.00. They are going to my dad's for the room we just painted.
I got two sets of quilted pillow shams . I am not sure if I am going to use them as shams or make some cutter projects .
In the upper right side is a brand new recipe book- 25 cents. I might use it for a christmas gift.
I also found a set of cream placemats 25 cents. thought they would be great to applique or stitch on.

  2. Thank you for your sweet comment on my blog. Those laundry panels aren't really hard to sew or to create. I can envision them created with tea-stained muslin and all prim-ed out! They even make a wonderful prim window topper. Just shoot me an email if you need more instruction {there's a email link on my blog!}

  10. Kim,
    I had to chuckle...a silk purse from a pigs ear? I don't know about that! LOL

    Most of my problem with the decorating outside thing is that I have all of these ideas in my head. All of these expectations and when I can't meet them either because I don't have the time or money or what not, I end up bummed out and feel I shouldn't even try. A week or so ago I was complaining about how junky I think it looks outside of my house...you know because I had a tree stand and a picnic table in my driveway and whatever else out of place and my plants have all died. My friend's husband said to me that I was crazy, that everything looks great and to stop worrying. I really do this all to myself. I have too big of expectations and want to accomplish way more in a short amount of time than possible. I need to take a chill pill, right? LOL

    Jer's step mom was always someone that I loved to be around. We spent so much time there and felt so at home. However, almost three years ago, Pat's son died of cancer. Within like a period of two years, she lost her son, her mother, her brother and her aunt, who was like a second mother. It made her bitter. Pat started going to church and suddenly everything about her life that she did before was stupid or immature and she started criticizing everyone around her. She isn't friends with people that she was friends with most of her life. She doesn't do anything for FUN. She and Denny started to fight and not get along....things are better now but they're not like they once were. It's very sad, actually. It is hard to loose a loved one, it was harder on her losing her son than the rest because she knew they were at that point but it's sad to see how it's changed her life so drastically.

    I missed your other post yesterday. The Apple Crunch looks YUMMY!

    Adam is a handsome dog :) Jer's step sister has a Greyhound that she rescued from dog racing. He's the best behaved dog I hear :)

    Have a wonderful day!
