Friday's Find: Books and Limoges!


Thank God it's thrift Friday, Friends! It's also the first Friday of the new year and after the dreaded task of storing all the Christmas decorations, I was ready to get my thrift on! I bundled up, de-iced the car and headed out!

Friday's Find: Christmas Clearance!


Thank God it's thrifty Friday, Friends! Christmas is officially over but holiday sales may be around for another week or so.  When shopping clearance, thrift stores might not ordinarily come to mind, but I found two stores today that were already offering 75% off!  These Vintage inspired ornaments were just a few of today's fabulous finds.  I know, I know... many of you are ready to pack everything up for another year.  Just remember this time of year is the perfect opportunity to find great buys for next year's decorations or even gifts to tuck away!

Shopping Black Friday...Without Leaving Your House!

In a few days, the day known as the biggest shopping day of the year will descend upon us in a frenzy. When my kids were younger, I would set my alarm clock and make this annual pilgrimage to stretch my shopping money and get the best presents on their Christmas lists. Now, we are all a little older and maybe a little wiser and I found a better way! Wouldn't it be nice to get some of those same bargains, while sitting in your warm pajamas, coffee cup in hand, from the comfort of your home? Did you know that many stores not only honor their Black Friday prices online but some actually begin on Thanksgiving day?! Last year, I bought fresh wreaths, garland,and poinsettias as well as sweaters, pajamas and other gifts--all at bottom dollar prices, without leaving my house! This is definitely the way to go if you are shopping for high dollar electronics or gadgets.  The best way to "shop" for your preferred items is to sign up for email notifications at one of the sites like bfads.net or  blackfriday.com .  These sites basically do the work for you--sharing store ads and prices as they are announced and also which stores will honor their prices online and when!

Mother's Day Brunch in the Garden


Greetings Friends! When I found out my Mom was coming to visit the week before Mother's Day, I knew I wanted to plan a  brunch in her honor. It would be a garden party and I would invite several friends. Of course I went to Pinterest to browse for menu ideas.   The first recipe that caught my attention was a Greek yogurt and berry parfait.  The picture featured pretty little glass parfait dishes and I knew what my next "hunt" would be.  As though I needed an excuse...
