Garage sale day in my town!!



Good Friday to all. Well today is the beginning of the big garage sales in my little town. And oh yes I will be hitting them hard. I am on a mission for some kind of a cabinet for my living room. As a new beginner to all of this I find myself having allot of small pieces but now i am out of room to display them. And there is a bare space in my living room that needs filling. ( sorry dh). So that is the mission. And there is always room for other things I just might happen upon. I may have competition in this trash to treasure find because Mary from Gettysburg Homestead also knows of these sales. Either she will come or she will send that treasure hunter friend of hers..lol. So the race is on. Just kidding Mary I will share.


Oh yea and I told you all I would share some of the E-bay stuff I got Well. I have received two more things I can share . There is more on the way. I am so addicted. This is a little wall cabinet. I just loved it's originality. It went very well in my bathroom. The bathroom is a work in progress, I wont show all of it till I'm done.
The next thing i got was this cute little gathering. It is also in my bathroom. Like I said before we have a brand new house so it is really hard to prim it up but I am having allot of fun trying.
There is more coming in the mail. I bought something the other day that I have been wanting for a while so that I could redo my noodle board. more tweaking pictures to come. Check back and wish me luck at the yard sales today. Until next time ladies and maybe gentlemen.

It's good to be home.




Good Monday morning to all. I am just back from vacation in Ocean City Maryland. I must say it is wonderful there we all loved the ocean. I am a first timer to the ocean, (yes I have lived a very sheltered life). But i think i misunderstood the definition of vacation. I thought it was for relaxation. I ran there more than I do at home and that's allot with three kids. But the kids had a blast and we made allot of memories. The best part of the vacation for me was, we took a ride on a 65ft speedboat. about half way into the ride a bunch or dolphins started jumping up right next to the boat it was amazing. Our hotel was great to it was very family oriented. You sure didn't wonder what you were gonna do with the kids. Every day our housekeeper would make an animal out of towels on are bed the kids couldn't wait to get back and see what it was gonna be for the day. This is one she made it's an elephant. Adorable I know.

As for me I am so ready to get back to reality now. I miss e-bay shopping. I am still waiting on a spice rack I ordered. Pictures to come of that. And I have to start packing for our next excursion. This time we are gonna give camping a try. Yikes. Well that's all for now I have tons of vacation laundry just staring at me.Until next time ladies happy priming.

Good Monday Morning to all

Good Monday morning to all!! Hope everyone had a happy and safe 4th of July. I know I did but it was very busy as has most days this summer.I wanted to share with you my E- bay finds. And my awful story about how long it took them to get here. As i have told you before I am new to the primitive world. (Thank you Mary!!) Mary from Gettysburg Homestead is a Friend of mine we work together on E.M.S. So when I find something I get so excited I cant stand it. So in my shopping frenzy, when I paid to have them shipped I didn't realize pay pal still had my old address. Which by the way is an empty apartment. So every thing went back to the dealer and I had to re-pay to have everything shipped. But the little darlings got here and I am so excited.


This is my first buy. I just love it . I have it on my counter right now , I am not sure if it will stay there or not but for now I can enjoy it there.



The next thing I got was this cute little crock. It is my first one. I will be looking for many more. I just love how they look and they are so handy.
And lastly. This was not an e-bay find but a goodwill beauty. I found this cutting board and it was already distressed couldn't have done it better if I tried.
Well that is all I have for now. I have more coming though. I think I have the address changed now so hopefully wont be long. Maybe when I get back from vacation it will all be waiting for me . Until next time ladies, Have a great week.
