Buying a House for Five Dollars

I bought a house today for five bucks.

Of course it's a total gut and rehab project.

But I think I'm up for that.  I've got some ideas to "cutiefy" this cottage.

  

Is cutiefy a word you say?

It is in my world. LOL.

The Blue Kitty

I saw this cute blue kitty hanging at one of our local restaurants and I just had to share.  It was created by a second grader.

Cute huh?

It's So Easy Being Green......

Especially when you are

Kermit

Frog.

And now he thinks he gets fan mail.

Uh huh

Actually, it's an adorable ATC card my friend Jewels created and sent to me.  Thank you Jewels.  It's adorable and Kermit loves it too.  Ok I can share.  Kermit, please don't get it wet.

She has an adorable blog and she makes the cutest things.  You can visit her HERE.

Happy weekend everybody!

Living in a Doll House

Have you ever found and bought a childhood toy back?

*pure joy*

I must of played with this Fisher Price dollhouse for countless hours.  It was one of my favorite toys. 

When I found it at a garage sale, I bought it back.

It is missing a few pieces of the furniture (if you have any that you would like to sell email me please) but I don't think the family minds too much.

When I was a kid I don't think I ever noticed that this doll house didn't have a laundry room or a bathroom.  Huh- interesting fact that fisher price little people don't get dirty or have to use a bathroom I guess.

They do like to go for rides in the car though.

I couldn't resist a family portrait in front of their lovely tudor style home.  Thanks for dropping by today.

We are fam-ily

I've got all my peeps with me......

Little Blue Bird

A little birdie flew all the way to me from Ohio from Elizabeth of Creative Breathing.  

We were partners in Viv's nest swap and what a lovely nest she crafted just for me.  Elizabeth is so creative she used an antique sewing box that looks just like a nest when it's closed.

I nestled her in one of my antique birdcages and I think she is quite happy there (with the door open of course).

The tag reads "A gift for you".

The birdie's banner reads "and may all the blessings of life be yours".

Isn't that the sweetest?

The box not only contained this beautiful handcrafted nest but also some other lovely surprises.

There were antique red birds, vintage wedding cards, chocolate, and an adorable crocheted basket.

Thank you so much Elizabeth.  Your creativity and kindness touches my heart and my soul.  I love these gifts.  If you do not already know Miss E you may visit her HERE.  I hope you have a beautiful day.

Thrifty Pyrex

Thrifty Pyrex and Corningware pieces plus a pretty embroidered tablecloth are found and added to my collection over the weekend.

That is what I call

GOOD Goodwill hunting.

I think the cheery and flowery patterns on these dishware pieces make even the food served in them seem to taste a bit tastier.  Wouldn't you agree?

Goodness knows I don't need another darn piece of Pyrex (but I sure like to have it). It's hard to pass when it's so gosh darn cute.

So how could I possibly say no?
