I've Been Treasure Hunting

Here is what I found:

I just love this old picture frame...this is going to be used for my chalkboard...now if I can get my dear Husband to cut me a piece of wood to fit it! I also bought a birdhouse and a wonderful old black kitchen scale...I've always wanted one...it truly was my lucky day!

I've Been Tagged!

Manuela from The Feathered Nest and Kellie from Acorn Cottage tagged me to list 7 random or weird things about me. Here they are:

1. I am an only child raising an only child.
2. I didn't get my driver's license until I had graduated high school, turned 18 and had my first full-time job.
3. I took banjo lessons for 3 years in my late teens.
4. I have a weakness for buttercream icing...forget the cake...give me icing!
5. I am deathly afraid of heights.
6. I do not like dirty shoes. I thoroughly clean all of our shoes before they are put back in our closets...they tend to last longer this way (I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing since I love shoes)!
7. I like to have everything neat and orderly (some would say I'm a neat freak). I admit that at times I may be a little obssessive, but it could be worse right??? My dh always jokes about this and says, "Do you think someone will break into our home and say, Oh my goodness, they didn't push their chairs in at the table!"

I'd like to tag the following friends: Kelli at There Is No Place Like Home , Anita at Cottage Affairs , Lynda at Hedgerow Hollow , Nancy Jo , Andrea at Southern Heart , Allie at My Cozy Home , Mindy at Peaceful Corner

Goodwill Hunting...

With all of the activity of the new windows and siding being installed I decided to take a day to run some errands. While out I stopped at the local Goodwill. Here is what I found:

In picture 1 I found a sweet picture for .99 cents (discounted to .49 cents) and two bunny figurines for .69 cents each. In picture 2 I found the black iron tree stand for $2.49 (also discounted down to $1.25). In picture 3 I found these three sweet bird prints with matted frames for .99 cents each!

Gram's Cookie Cutters

Here is a picture of the cookie cutters I'm planning on hanging in my kitchen. I remember my dear Gram making many delicious raisin filled cookies and yummy doughtnuts with the round cookie cutter. I don't really remember her using the other cookie cutters, but they're special just the same!

Spring!

Spring has finally arrived here in Soutwestern Pennsylvania. The first picture is a field near our home. It is covered in dandelions...I know they are a weed but they're just beautiful with their little yellow faces shining brightly in the green grass! The second picture is the view that we have from our home....I don't think that pictures even really do it justice...we never tire of this view!
