Hello friends, I can't believe how quickly the days go by...I didn't realize that I hadn't posted anything since last Friday. Things have been pretty busy around our home. The carpenters are finishing up our siding and new windows. There is still a little painting to do and when that is all completed I will be sure and post pictures. My favorite window is the one above my kitchen sink. It's bigger than the previous one so now I can look out the window without standing on my tiptoes! Can't wait to show you that window.

Our church is getting ready for their annual bazaar which is always held the first Saturday in June. Those who donate items or help with the set up are able to make purchases prior to the sale. I found this sweet Mother cup and knew that it had to come home with me. I also found a Pampered Chef stoneware baker. There were many other items that I could have purchased but I'm waiting until Saturday.

Thank you all for your sweet comments about my dear Mom's Bible and my flea market freebies. I love being able to share these things with you!

Show and Tell

Once again I am happy to participate in Kelli's Show and Tell.

This precious Bible belonged to my dear Mom...I know this Bible was very special to my Mom because by looking at it, you can tell that it was well used...this Bible was not for display! Now that my dear Mom has gone home to be with the Lord I really treasure it. I love this Bible because my Mom believed all that was written in these pages and seeing her notes written in it in her own handwriting makes it even more special to me.

Flea Market Freebies!

First of all, I'd like to thank all of you who stopped by and left such nice comments about the pin my Great Aunt gave me. I really appreciate it that you took the time out of your busy day to come and visit me.

Last Friday and Saturday my dd helped out at our local Relay for Life event held in our town. They had a flea market both days. I went to help them with clean up and was surprised when they told us that we could have anything we wanted for FREE! Here are the sweet treasures I was able to bring home with me...I'm so surprised some of these items did sell. You wouldn't believe the amount of items that were left.

A sweet homemade apron, a glass vanity tray, jello mold with cherries, a bird house, two small wooden houses, a biscuit cutter, and corn cob stripper, a sugar bowl, a fold up cookie/dessert holder (I honestly don't know what to call it...lol) and a wire urn.

Show and Tell

My Great Aunt Sal traveled to many different countries. On one of her visits to the Netherlands, she bought this pin. I was delighted when she gave it to me (I was just a small child). I have always loved it because of the sweet wooden shoes! I wish I knew what it said on the pin...can anyone tell me?

Visit Kelli's blog There Is No Place Like Home for more Show and Tell!

UPDATE: Thank you to Mama Lieveheersbeestje for giving me some information on my pin...I really appreciate it!

Treasure Hunting

Here are a few of the treasures I found several weeks ago: These sweet flower prints were .99 cents each. The body powder container was only $1.49. These items were found at a thrift store. The bottle of Laura Ashley Perfume (found at a yard sale) was only .50 cents! I'm always happy when I find sweet things for a great price!

Show and Tell Friday...On Saturday!

Kelli at There Is No Place Like Home hosts this weekly event. Please visit her sweet blog if you've never been there before. Circumstances beyond my control didn't allow me time to post this on Friday.

I love bracelets even though I don't wear them. The first picture shows my collection. The second picture is of a bracelet given to me as a small child from a neighbor. The third picture is of a bracelet given to me by my dear Mom. She worked one day a week at a thrift store and got it there. The fourth picture is of a bracelet given to me by my dear Mom's best friend who is like a mother to me. June had this bracelet for many years and I always loved it. I was so touched when she gave it to me. There are two birthstone (June and August) charms on it for her and her husband...this is special to me since my dear Daughter's birthday is in June and my birthday is in August. The fifth picture shows a bracelet with bees on it...I thought it was sweet...my dear Mom got this at the thrift store she worked at as well. The sixth picture is of another bracelet but I have no idea where it came from. It's really heavy and has some interesting items on it. Click on the picture to enlarge it. I hope you have enjoyed my Show and Tell items!

A Girl With Roses

Remember this little thrift store find for .99 cents? Well, I thought the picture frame was way too dark for this sweet girl so I decided to give it a makeover!

I think the frame looks so much better in antique white. I gave it a crackle finish, but I'm not sure it shows up in the picture.
