Goodwill Finds

Linking up with
Knick of Time


Come on over and join the vintage party.

Today on my lunch break I went to Goodwill.
I only found one item I felt I
really wanted.

A wooden recipes box.


The paint could be touched up but I
decided not to....I like it that
way.


The cost.
It will sit really well on the shelf in my kitchen.
And will fit in well with the old antique items
I have in there.


This is a find that I got a couple of weeks ago
at the same Goodwill.
Since this pic was taken, it
has been spray painted a hunter
green color....and later,
I will post what I used it for.


I started to tape the handle off before I
remembered to take a pic.

This was a cake I made for work last week...
Its a tombstone only with mixing the
icing color (I am so not good with that) I
got the gray a bit more black then
it needed to be....



No worries...it was good.
FYI- I am great at mixing paint for my paintings
but not so good with icing, it just don't
work the same!

Thanks for stopping in,
Pam

What a charmingly lovely find. I was looking everywhere for a recipe box that I loved last year, but kept coming up empty handed (or not wanting to pay an arm and leg for one). I sort of forgot about that hunt though once we started getting ready to move a few months ago. I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for a similar find now too, thanks for the reminder! :)

Many thanks for both of your comments today on my vintage outfit posts, I sincerely appreciate your visit, sweet lady.


Wishing you a beautiful Thursday,
Jessica

Seasonal Changes with Lily, Moods, Snuggle Bunny, Blue Tail Skink gets out Alive

Image
 Seasonal changes are coming,  moving in slowly as always,  but coming.  Leaves are falling, not since fall is close but cause we  are so freak'n dry. Got a little rain shower on Wed. but, it did not even register in my rain gauge.    Spider webs are thick, grass is  crunchy, flowers are giving up  the fight, and Lily is doing her seasonal behavior as fall moves in. What would that be? She has started the curling up  behind my knee sort of  thing again and  wanting to be close. Not on me,  not in my lap, but close to me. This starts taking place every year around this time. Not only has that started, I think  she knows that time changes at some point. This week, she started waking me at 4. What she don't understand, it is not bouncing forward, so 4 will not be 5.... LILY, get with the program! haha.. Actually, I think the early rise has to do with me.  You see, with me having been  suffering the last 2.5 mon...

The Rest of Today

Image
After my trip to town today,  visit with the doc, stopping  and picking up breakfast I  headed home.  I had dropped Dakota off at mom's for the day. He was going  to spend the day  playing with Klohe and Cheyenne. While he was hanging at mom's Lily and I chilled all day.  So much to do but I can't seem to get it in gear. Later....I had an apt for a hair cut. But I left out early to stop  at the  Mystic Heart. I picked up some healing stones there.  Entering the store I read this sign... haha Then while in there I saw this sign. From there I headed to see  Kelley, my hair stylist. This is what I was shooting for. Course, it will look different on  me due to hair color and  texture of hair.  I am good with it. I got to Heads Up a bit early  so Kelley still had a young boy she was working on and his dad after h...
