One reason I like to go to Chic Fil A....is to get

Thrift Store Finds and Other Loves
This post is chalked full! I know its a lot of information but I just didn't want to separate it because it is all on my mind right now. First off, I think I've told you Marmee and Rach that I have been stopping by a few thrift stores in town. There is one called Interfaith where I hit the jackpot. I must have picked up 20 or more items for $12! I fear becoming a "junk" collector so I tried to pick things I knew for sure I would use, mostly for crafty projects!
I might go back and get this 80's bold purple frumpy polka dot dress I saw as well. There was this great idea to revamp an old skirt on the Martha Stewart Show where she featured the two girls from Some Odd Rubies. If you get a chance to DVR Martha's show this week (Halmark Channel) its all about vintage fashion! Here is the link for the tutorial of the DIY dress I'm so gonna make!
Just some of the thrift store finds.....
an adorable quilt, my new picnic blanket |
an old rumper pattern, I'm going to do the shorts version |
For Grace's barbie collection, she wanted to paint it purple |
I think I will make a fabric scrap wreath like the one below, an idea I got from The Cottage Home |
Another find by Grace. We will paint this something fun too. |
On to other happenings and things around the house......
Love seeing a bunch of fresh fruits and veggies together......its like candy to a kid. I just joined an organic produce pickup twice a month. |
What I made last night. |
My neighbor gave me some mint clippings....aw fresh! |
I love all the wonderful projects my Grace brings home to me from Pre-K. |
This beautiful bouqet she made by tracing her hands. |
Per request of Marmee, I needed to post some updates of the growing munchkin.......
Beach days and babies sleeping, don't have to say anything more than that! |
Garnet loves looking at the traveling shoes that change all the time at the front door. Yesterday she was fixated on Daddies work boots. |
She loves fresh veggies too! |
a shot of my four new teeth, soon to be six! |
her new fav face |
We all love our daily walks in the neighborhood |
no matter the time or place....eating, eating is so much fun! |
I just added this video for fun. Just her playin around.
Finished! On to my littles ones and oh...all the projects! The dishes can wait.

Beauty = MOM
Mom, you are beautiful inside and out. Just look at the pictures to follow. You have been an amazing mother from the start with your love, creativity, sacrifice for all of your kids. You've taught us about God, you've made us cakes that look like pots of dirt, built forts out of refridgerator boxes, sewed us costumes into the wee hours of the morning, made us home made food to die for, cried with us, laughed with us, held our babies for us, and so much more. You bring beauty to everything you touch. I love you so much and I'm so glad to call you and only you MOM!! Happy Mother's Day!
