Thrift store day and I found a few things. The two plates are very much like yellowware I am not sure if they are new or old. The little silver tray I thought it would look good with greens and silver Christmas balls. Total spent 2.00. 
I found 3 blouses for myself 2 liz claiborne and 1 dress barn. I am trying to lose a few pounds so I have been on the treadmill every other night. I have lost 3 lbs, which is better off than on but it is slow to come off.
I have actually had some time to read a book. I am reading The Weight of Water by Anita Shreve. It is a fictional account of the true murders on Isles of Shoals March 5,1873,off the coast of Portsmouth NH. It is a Maine island but closer to Portsmouth. It is pretty good, I have read some of her other books and enjoyed them. Working in a book store I have a large stack of books that customers think I should read. I read the Girl With The Dragon Tatto that a customer said I had to read. I know a lot of people love it but I really didn't like it. To much weird violence for me. Well I am off to get on the tread mill have a great night.

That cranberry chutney looks very tasty. I may try it for Christmas. So many recipes to try and so little time. It's always fun to find things you can use at a the thrift store. JB
Your cranberry chutney looks just delicious!! AND after a day of good bargains...who could ask for anything more??!?

Walk a mile for me, ok? The older I get, the harder it is to lose. (That chutney looks so yummy and is making me hungry!)
Pug hugs :)

Again, I like your finds! Great useful items! This is a bad time of year to try and lose some weight! I have been walking outside all summer and now I will have to get on the treadmill with bad weather looming. I have a real problem with standing in one place to walk on a treadmill though..ugh!
But I know if I don't I'm in real trouble!
I'm with you on the weird violence thing.....don't understand why people want to read stuff like that..... it's very unsettling to me.

Hi!
This is my first visit to your blog. I came and checked it out because you were so sweet and left me a comment on my blog. Thank you. I am very interested in rug hooking. I live in a colonial style home in Biddeford (not far at all from Kennebunk/K'port. Not one of the originals, but I aspire to decorating a little in the colonial style and one thing I love is hooked rugs. I know there used to be (might still be?) a lady in K'port on North Street, who had a sign out front "The Happy Hooker" HaHa. I occasionally got a close-up look at hand-hooked rugs when I was in high school in Mass. and worked at a store which sold wool remnants, mainly for rug-braiding, but also for rug-hooking. (Braid-Aid in Pembroke, Mass.) Have never actually tried it yet, but likely will someday...
Thanks again for visiting me. And by the way, no snow yet here in Biddeford! Where in Maine are you from?
