A Sighting and New Treasures...

Look what I spotted today...just had to share...

The car is at home with that little bungalow.

This was next door to where I did a little 

treasure hunting and scored the following...

Valentine Etsy Love...

Recently - I listed some fun red finds on Etsy 

 that are perfect for this season of love.  

Don't you love vintage restaurant ware?  

These cups and saucers by Corning are one 

of their very first patterns...

I couldn't resist these diner plates 

when I saw them...

 Red velvet was added to the back of these  

cherub plaques - look how they pop...

 Roses postcards are always in style...

 A sweet red box to keep you organized

and a little picture I put together with toile fabric and an antique frame...

  The prices on all these pieces are very right!

Browse around Etsy - there are awesome 

Valentine goodies out there!

Winter Scape...

Our family room is also our dining room. Our 

dining table, without its leaves, sits in there.  

It's where I often display something seasonal.  

My change up from the Christmas look is this 

simple winter vignette...

 I'm still using the old wood box, but now 

it's filled with faux pine cone and greens, 

a little tin star dish...

 ...snowball candles (3/$1 find) and a blue 
pint Mason jar for elevation.  The tall wood 

lantern I bought at a craft show this year 

using my Christmas bonus money.

Being "Miss Frugal", I would never have

 bought it otherwise.  It came 

with the white twinkle lights - and I like that 

for our winter evenings...

4 Divided Diner Restaurant Ware Plates in Maroon

My Baby Cup Candy Dish...

With a light blue metal cast - I love my baby cup holding these peppermint sticks.  My Love picks

them up every time we eat at Cracker Barrel.

And right now is a really good time to eat there 

and shop in their General Store.  I found 

70% off their good lookin' Christmas stuff 

(and this is not a paid advertisement.)

I Press On...

But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind 

and straining toward what is ahead, I press on 

toward the goal to win the prize for which God 

has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.  

Philippians 3:13b,14

Taking a walk in Costa Rica where my brother lives.

Happy New Year to each of you my friends.  

This coming year holds many unknowns -

joys and no doubt some sorrows.

I move forward with the Lord by my side.  

I  remember that it's not about me - but about 

the One I serve.  May I be faithful

and trusting in the journey.
