The "Thriftin' Angels" were really smiling on me Saturday!
They were workin' overtime!

I managed to find this beauty at a garage sale..............






DD teases me and calls it my "chicken coop"...... but, I think it is adorable!





Just look at the painting on this........... wish I could take credit for it~~



Was it a great price? YES! It was! Did I need it?
Hmmm......maybe not ~
what will I put in it?
Hmmm........ maybe this........
from the same garage sale........





That's right.......... ANOTHER bread maker, this is my second........ and how could I pass it up? I mean, it was ONLY $10!! I have always said I would love to have a second one if I found one for a good price.....AND, AND, it is BRAND NEW, never been used, thank you very much!!!
Plus, the BEST part of all was when I learned after I bought them that this sale was for a fund-raiser for a police officer who needs a heart transplant~ so, even more reason to love these things!!
Our second great find of the day was at Salvation Army.......... where I found this beauty:
I would be embarrassed for you to see the old chair this one is replacing ~ so, I won't show it to you! But, I love this.......... it is so comfy, and so cottage-y!! Perfect for settling down with a good book!
There is only one problem with my sweet new chair............
I have to fight HER for it:






sigh........... anybody want to buy a slightly-used

"Diva-Cat"???

Hello there! I'd like to introduce myself..... My name is Joyce and I live in northern California, in the beautiful San Joaquin Valley. In 1975, I was blessed by God with a wonderful man named Stephen. Whether or not you believe in such a thing, ours truly was "love at first sight". We were married one year later. In time, we were further blessed with 5 beautiful children, four boys and one girl. Steve was my rock, my protector, my soul mate, and my best friend. We spent 30 precious years on this earth together, and for this I give thanks each and every day of my life. Sadly, my dear Steve passed away in December of 2005. He was such a strong spirit and loving soul that I know he is still here, loving and watching over us.
