~♥ Treasure Hunting ♥~

There is nothing I enjoy more than looking for "new" treasures for my home. I have been looking to find a desk for in my bedroom...I have a wonderful view from this window. Last week, my Dear Friend, Sue, her Sweet Daughter, Julia, and I went to a place called "Thrift King"...it's in Jeannette, Pennsylvania. Click Here to See Their Website What did I see there, but this beauty... now granted they say,  "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder."  She has a few nicks and bruises, but don't we all?

I paid $24.42 for the desk and $24.42 for the chair (it came with an ottoman, too,  but I have it in my bathroom).  ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ I'm always on the lookout for something unique...and this is what I found...

The clock is made by J. Kaiser G.M.B.H Villingen, Germany It's pre-1930's I wasn't sure if it would work, but I wound it up and it keeps great time. The little bird moves back and forth... I paid $2.12 for it. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Another item I have been looking for is a tea set.  I found this beauty as well:

She was a bit tarnished but as you can see, she shined up real pretty! The name on it is Wm. Rogers 800. I paid $14.41 for the Tea Pot, Sugar Bowl and Creamer.   The tray was a previous purchase that I've had for quite a few years.

~♥ The Porch and "New" Linens ♥~

It's been quite awhile, blogging friends...didn't think I'd be gone that long...

A lot has changed around the old homestead, but my love for my home hasn't...

Welcome to my Porch!

I love my porch swing...every time I sit on my swing I can't help but think of my Mom and Gram...

oh how I miss them...

There's no place I'd rather be...except maybe in my bedroom that I've updated with "Gently Used" linens...let's take a look around:

 Thanks for stopping by...I always enjoy the company!

  Good morning, blogging friends...well, I'm officially back to blogging...after a much needed break and lots of prayers I am returning...how often I will post remains to be seen...thank you to all of you who sent emails and who remained Followers of my blog even with my absence...it means a lot!  

    I'm sure most of you are on the "Pinterest" bandwagon...it really is a wonderful site and I've found so many great recipes.  I recently found myself with some over-ripe bananas.  Usually I would make banana nut bread, but wanting to try something different, I went to Pinterest.
