Today my friend and I
planted these flowers
out by my front door.
She had given me them as
a thank you for helping her
make the quilt for her great grandson.
The stepping stone in front
of them is from 2008
and has footprints of
my granddaughters when they were
little girls.
It's a treasure.
I went to Home Depot
this morning to buy some things
for my drip lines and while
I was in town I stopped off at
the Goodwill.
I haven't been there
in a very long time.
I scored these two metal canisters
for dog treats,
aren't they adorable?
Then I saw these two dark blue coffee
cups and this pretty aqua bottle.
I love putting bottles
in my windows with just one or two
little flowers in them.
Next is my chicken wire holder
with three mason jars.
I think it will be beautiful
with flowers in it
this summer.
Well that's my treasures.
I spent $20.50 for everything.
I didn't need a single thing
but when does that stop us
when it's a bargain, right!
All of you ladies know what
that's all about. 💕
Have a sweet day
and
God bless you.
You're blogging sister,
Connie :)
P.S. I did this post on my phone,
and sometimes the fonts are
impossible to fix.
My phone has a mind of it's own 😖
That was quite a haul at Goodwill. Sometimes we just need some things we don't need to brighten our day!
ReplyDeleteI know it's nice to decorate with a few new items😊
ReplyDeleteI love the stepping stone with your granddaughters footprints. It's a treasure.
ReplyDeleteYou did good at the Goodwill, such cute stuff.
I love that stone too ... A little bit of their toddler age
DeletePretty flowers from your friend. My favorites are the hyacinth. You found some good treasures at Goodwill. I think it was $20 well spent if it brings a little joy to your life.
ReplyDeleteI was so surprised at the fragrance of the Hyacinth, absolutely beautiful.
DeleteVery good bargain finds! Make sure you dont dip into the dog treats by mistake!
ReplyDeleteLOL I would only do that once 😊
DeleteDidn't you do well with finding those treasures!
ReplyDeleteI thought so even though I didn't need any of it, it's still fun. And always great when you find it at bargain prices.
DeleteWhat great finds at the thrift store!! Pretty flowers. We can't plant anything here till after Memorial Day.
ReplyDeleteOh, that's really late in the year, but you do live in a beautiful area. I guess there are pros and cons no matter where you live.
DeleteI never find any treasures at our Goodwill. Ours is to hoity-toity for that. I don't even go anymore but I will visit a charity/mission shop when I have to go to the other side of town. I love your sweet new flowers and the stepping stone is perfect.
ReplyDeleteGrace & Peace,
Pam
Oh thank, I agree 😊
DeleteI think all your thrifty treasures are cute. I recently found a dark blue bottle similar to the aqua one you found. This week I bought a small bunch of yellow Alstroemeria and they look perfect with the blue. The doggy treat tins will be perfect for Beulah's treats. I hope she's doing well ( and yourself too 💗)
ReplyDeleteBeulah is very fine, thank you for asking. I always like blues and yellows put together 😊
DeleteAll great bargain finds at Goodwill! I must stop in at one near me. Thanks for sharing. I do know what you mean about your phone. Of course, I do not have a blog, just trying to navigate my new phone and rebuild my contact list. Continue to move forward as we all do♥ Stay safe and well. Spring is coming!
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping in to visit today . . . I know want you mean, new technology is so much harder than what we have in the older and simpler days.
DeleteOh, I can't wait until the weather is warm enough here to plant flowers! You got some really pretty things at GW. I love the Mason jars in the wire holder. That will be so pretty filled with flowers.
ReplyDeleteI agree, I'm looking forward to filling it with daffodils, tulips and lilacs. . . Spring is coming and it's exciting 🌼🌸🌼
DeleteOh how sweet of her to gift you the pretty flowers, they look so good together and the stepping stone is a nice touch with them.
ReplyDeleteWe are getting a new goodwill here in town and I will for sure be going to check it out, you found some great things, I really love the holder for the mason jars, I have some similar to that. I can't wait to plant our wildflowers so that we will have pretty flowers to bring indoors this summer :)
Do you have good luck with wildflowers? I have some to plant this year but haven't had much success with them in the past. You do have more humidity there and plenty of natural wildflowers as well. I remember picking wildflowers in the woods behind our house as a child and down along the creek at my older brother's house. Indiana has many beautiful wildflowers. Last August they were passing out free envelopes of wildflowers at the country fair and I have a couple envelopes of theirs to plant. I hope they will be some that will do well here :)
DeleteYou certainly found some treasures. I love that wire jar holder. Sometimes you can find such good things at the Goodwill and otehr times, nothing strikes a chord. You did good! :-)
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Betsy
