~I Want One!!! and Little GW Finds~

Isn't he adorable, I want one...I love Buster with all my heart but he's a little to big to pick up and cuddle:) This cute little guy is "Max" a shintzu ( I know that isn't spelled right but spellchecker isn't picking it up so I don't know how to spell it) he has the cutest face and such a personality! He belongs to a lady I went to school with and her kids got him for her for Mother's Day. He was down the docks yesterday and I had to get a pic of him:)
Do you ever go to GW or the TS and come out with just little prims, that's what has been happening to me lately. They were good buys though...this is the top of my frig and the little basket on the left I got for .39, when I got it home for some reason I turned it over and it had M. Ford 1996 on the bottom. So I got a handmade basket with blue on it for .39! Sorry the pic isn't great...sometimes I get it right and sometimes I don't:) See the little faux plant? I got three of them in a package that had never been opened for $3.00!





I put some mod podge on them and some cinnamon and cloves on the ceramic bottoms. This one is on the cupboard in the entryway!








This one is an Aloe plant that is sitting on my crock bench in the keeping room. The little jug I bought at the Country Store, I think it's cute!















Awww, Html don't you just love it!!! The spaces just never work out for me.








The sugar bowl I also found at GW for .49 it's some type of pottery and I'm sure it cost more then .49 the date on the back is "86".






























Yesterday we went to the docks and took a pontoon ride with our friends, Danny is pictured here guiding the boat.
We cooked hamburgers on the grill there...a relaxing time and finally had some good weather, the river was muddy looking though from all the rain!













I've probably been driving you crazy with all the background changes I've had lately.lol I just couldn't find one that I was satisfied with, the 1st one wiggly things drove me nuts and then the 2nd one I didn't care for the writing on the middle column. I think this one is okay for a while and it seems to load fast...if not please let me know, okay?
Well, tonight I made chicken and onion enchiladas, they are in the oven right now so I'm off to make some spanish rice to go with it...I guess were having a Mexican night here.:)

  1. I love that dog. My Abby is a shitzu Alopsa mix. I have no clue if the spelling is right. I wouldn't trade her for anything.

    I love all your TS finds. Lucky, I never have that kind of luck.

  2. I have given up on TS and GW - they never have anything colonial and I am trying to stick with that kind of decor when I buy any new goodies. It is hard because prim that isn't colonial is everywhere temptimg me! LOL Colonial is harder and harder to find.

    Those plants look real in the pictures! What a great buy!

    I love pontoon boats - that's my idea of boating for sure.

    Have a great evening! hugs, Linda

  13. Hi Rondell, You sure got some cute finds! I need to go shopping!! I haven't been in forever and I am starting to go through withdraws!! :) Hey, now I actually have room in my DR for some new stuff! LOL!!
    Yes, Max is a cutie. He actually looks alot like my "Lucy". Except she's no little puppy, but still my baby!! Its funny I was never a dog person, until I got her. Now I completely understand all the fuss. She IS my BABY!! And the best part, she will never out grow me and she will never talk back. LOL!! Take Care, Tammy

  15. Rondell,
    I have a Shih Tzu (That's the correct spelling :)) and a Shih Tzu Schnauzer mix. We got Hunter, the Shih Tzu, nearly 7 years ago. He was one and my BIL and SIL had decided he just wasn't the dog for them. Poor Hunter has been NOTHING but a wonderful dog for us but they just never took the time to read up on the breed (Simple things like they need groomed!. I, on the other hand, have several family members with Shih Tzu's and learned what I could before we brought him home. We love Hunter, so much so that when we started looking for a second dog, we wanted another one. We ended up with Ruger, who is a mix but he was a freebie and he's a good dog...when he wants to be! LOL

    I haven't been to the TS in a few weeks but yes, I can find lots of goodies at the TS and it always makes me feel good to know I found a bargain!

    Have a great day :)

  17. I want that puppy too!
    Your GW finds are so great! How do you get them at such low prices? I love paying cents instead of $$$!
    I would love to go for a water ride...it would be so relaxing. I need that right now. For some reason I have been a little too uptight for my comfort.
    Have a great week friend!

  21. Hi Rondell,
    That puppy is adorable. I love the little jug and the sugar bowl...I actually have the same little jug and I also got a little crock that matches it. There hasn't been any thing at our GW lately either.
