A Couple Of Finds AND A GIVE AWAY!

I found this large bean pot or cookie jar.

I have a pie plate that I got from longerberger baskets that

matches what is on the bottom of the pot. It was very dirty and covered

in paint splatter. I cleaned it up but it still has paint.

I like the the simplicity of it.

I also picked up a couple of books all of this from a thrift store.

so I will put my feet up and watch the debate tonight while thumbing through my books.

Now on to the give away! I will repost a picture when I can get outside

these are two wooden chargers great for putting on the wall or to make your

table pretty, There is also a spiced pumpkin candle, and a packet of recipe booklets

from during and just after the depression.

Here is a little display of them. The egg one should come in handy for all of you with chickens, there is one for left overs, cranberries, etc it is a great fun assortment.

I'm Back With A Give Away

I know my last post was a bit whiny, I am feeling better and I finished the chicken. She came out pretty good if I do say so myself. Since I missed my 2 year blog anniversary I will celebrate with giving away this hooked chicken. The rules, you have to be a follower that's it! I will draw the winner on valentine's day!

I ran to the store for King Arthur Flour and picked up a bag of Meyer lemons.

 I found an easy lemon square recipe to make on the King Arthur website.

It is a great site you can put in the ingredients that you have and it will come up with some recipe ideas.

Easy and Yummy, I doubled the lemon juice.

And what would a post be without dump finds?

Movies we can either watch or pass on.

I did get to watch The Help,I loved it as much as the book.

This has been soaking in bleach and soapy water.

This is so cute for Miss Baby. I know I don't have all of the animals but still cute.

Speaking of Miss Baby, Friday she decided that walking would the best way to get around.

Yeah Miss Baby!

Looking forward to the game tonight go pats!

Have a great week!

I am joining Thrifty Groove to show off my finds and my chicken.

Happy Mother's Day

This is my sadie she had a couple of days of not feeling very well. She seems to be fine now so not sure what it was. she is 17 so I worry about her. She is looking over her kingdom and watching for those damn squirrels.                                                                                                                                            

 We got to see Miss Baby today and she gave her gramie a few things for mothers day. I love her expression in the dress. Do you think she will prefer jeans and a t-shirt?

 During prom and wedding season my husband drives limo part time. Tonight he is off to a prom so at the thrift store I got a movie to watch and some magazines to read. Who doesn't love an affair to remember?

 I also got this, does any one have a clue to what it is? No one at the thrift store knew but I bet you bloggers know. This is my 200th post so if you know what it is leave it in your comment and I will draw a winner on Wed. for.....

 The cat in the middle. This is my haul from the dump today on the way home from Miss Baby. Good stuff!
So tell me what the stainless steel item is and you could win this very sweet primitive kitty.

I had a busy day some planting and some cleaning so I am off to take a nice shower and get a box of tissues to watch my new movie. I hope your mother's day is a good one.
