Made a quick trip to the thrift store today and started my altered book. I put some pictures on my blog if you want to see.
Started my Christmas shopping today, in years past I would be much further ahead, but not this year.But thats ok, I don't work anymore so I have more time, less money but more time.
Think maybe I will start working on the Christmas card exchange we are doing, I have a lot of the address's already, I could at least do the envelopes.
Been bidding on stuff on ebay, very very hard thing to get away from. But I will just limit myself to so much a month, and I bid low, and if I get it good, if I don't I let it go. I have won four things so far. Well you know how we all love to get mail. Always have you guys in mind when I'am on site and looking.

| The plate from Auntie Glenda is so beautiful! And so lovely to have a family keepsake, isn't it? Also l-o-v-e your Roseville vase -- another family piece? It's fun to look at your stuff, Nancy Jo. I feel like I'm having a little visit with you, on your blog. (Can't leave comments there, and so I'm commenting here.) |

Thanks Katie,
So glad you like to visit my site, I'am having a lot of fun doing it, never thought I could. I was standing on the kitchen chair yesterday to take the pictures of my thrift store stuff, better view from up there. Richard said I might want to consider therapy.
The Roseville vase is from Richards Aunts, they are gone now. There were three sisters that lived together and never married, Richard's mom was the only one to marry. Anyway we had to take care of everything at the house and so a lot of my things came from there. AND looking back their were a lot of things I let go that I wish I hadn't. I could be sending stuff to my farm girl friends, darn!!
Have to see about a plate stand for my plate, maybe the Hallmark store will have one. Love the colors in the plate, matches my living colors perfect.
