Yard sales and parties what a weekend!whew I am tired and husband is all snuggled in and napping in front of the TV. My favorite find was this Tasha Tudor book a whole 50 cents!
Here is a page from it. SSSoooo cute.
I got a high chair for miss baby when she visits and a sweet puzzle for her.
I found this lovely dish with a hand painted winter scene. I plan on hanging it for the winter.
Then Husband went to the dump and came home with many treasures! These chairs are solid as a rock and speaking of rock one of them is a rocker. a good scraping and some paint they will look great around fire pit.
This cast iron sink is going to get a cleaning and put in my potting shed. Husband also got a whole load of boards that 12 inches wide I can see some amazing cupboard coming my way:)
One of the parties we went to was for an uncle of my husband's who turned 80. Here is Husband trying to teach aunt Doris the Greek dance. Hummm aren't you guys French Canadian? It was fun to see everyone and make plans.
One of the parties we went to was a family baby shower again very fun lots of laughs for sure. I made these Lemon Brownies they were such a big hit I found the recipe at
beyond my kitchen window.
I hope your weekend was filled with fun. I even pulled a few loops on my chair pads.
I think this quote is just right.

The picture on your dish is very serene. Is it very old? And congratulate your husband on finding those solid chairs!
You did great! How cute is that book? And I can't believe those awesome adirondack chairs you got! Jealous!

How nice!! You always managed to snag some wonderful finds!!
My, you were a busy girl this weekend and a party animal to boot! Looks like you also found some great buys too! Have a great week!
You did have a busy weekend and I am ever so jealous of those chairs. What a great find. Things like that are so expensive to buy. I am a huge Tasha Tudor fan myself.
Those chairs are fabulous. Looks like a fun time. Cute dancers :)
Miss Baby will love her new high chair. It's so much more fun to fling food with a little altitude.

Pug hugs :)

Lemon brownies? Now that's a recipe I must try! I love those chairs..what a great find. They cost a ton, so good job from the hubs...and I'll be interested in seeing that sink all gussied up for the potting shed. Greek dancing is so fun, you can just smile the whole time! Since I've moved away from my family base, those Greek dances are few and far between..have a fun week!
What a fun weekend you had! Loved your finds - especially the adirondack chairs! Will have to try the lemon brownies...
I love those chairs. My husband loves a rocker...he'd be thrilled to find a chair like that for outside! And the book...beautiful. I'm popping over now to snag the lemon brownie recipe. I think your weekend sounds marvelous.
Love your finds! I've never seen dad do a greek dance in my life hahaha are we sure he knows what he's doing?? Miss Baby is going to loveee that highchair and puzzle. Love you
Wonderful finds at the dump! Lucky you and the promise of a cupbaord! Wow! Cute pic of your husband and aunt! Lemon brownies sound wonderful!
I love chairs and the cast iron sink is such a great find! It will be a wonderful addition to your potting shed. We still have some very vintage Adirondack chairs we brought back from David's Mom's cottage on Mirror Lake. We treasure them. Your husband looks like he's having fun. I hope that all is going well.
Lots of love and hugs,
Susan and Bentley
Goodness Cathy,what FABULOS finds!
Love the chairs and the Winter plate oh! And the Fairy tales book - in fact EVERYTHING :o)
Lovely to see David having a dance, he must be feeling a little better (I hope). Isn't it great to have a family party and get together?
Sending best wishes across the miles as always.

LOVE Tasha Tudor!!! AND Adironda chairs!!! Even as they are.
The sink you can keep but it should be repurposed well for your potting shed.
Think of you and hope all is going well for you and your hubby..hugs
Most enjoyable photos. I love when I find goodies at bargain prices at resale places and am overdue for a day of stopping at those places.
