~Hi Blogging Friends~

I’ve been gone a while I know but not my fault, my laptop is getting fixed, I clicked on something that I shouldn’t have and it really messed it up, hopefully it can be fixed, Chris said I should have it by Tuesday or Wednesday. So I put off posting because I’d have to use this PC which was just fine to use before Christmas:) Isn’t it funny how we get used to something and don’t want to go back to using the “old” PC?


Well, I’ve been to GW at least three times since I last posted and can’t remember what I got first so I’ll just show you…I’ve found more Yorktown dishes, these bowls were .49 a piece and every piece I have found has been in perfect condition.

Candlestick and bud vase…I swear they have a whole set of this in the back room and only bring out a few pieces at a time.LOL I can’t remember what I paid for these two but I know it wasn’t bad.

064

I was really tickled to find this jewelry box, love the lock on the front, I needed something bigger for my everyday things so of course I painted it black and stained it:)

060

I really like how it turned out…to the right is pictures of my four children when they were little:)

065

Neat basket huh? It’s handmade and was only $1.00!!!

062

Another basket with a flat back for a $1.00 and I think the flowers and greenery were .50:)

063

I found this which to me looks like a butter mold for .99 it needs stained but I thought it was a neat find:)

061

I have no idea what I’ll do with this tray but bought it anyway:)

058

Look at the neat, large, wooden pineapple I found for .99…I’ll have to work my magic on it and can’t wait to get to it. I would have did it today but I got called out to work this morning so maybe tomorrow, I don’t have to take Samantha to preschool she is sick with strep throat poor little thing.

059

I’ve been reading your blogs and have been enjoying them so much…guess what? I saw my first robin today yehhhhhh! Spring sure is here just has to warm up a little more, I took a walk around our yard the other day and it looks like a battle field, trees down all over, sure have a lot of work cut out for us soon. It’s been raining off and on but not as bad as they said it was going to be, thanks goodness.

Another thing, I’ve been blogging for two years this month, didn’t check but I think it was yesterday:) Two years, I can’t believe it, I’ve had so much fun with blogging and meeting new friends, seeing you decorate your home and also how much we love our families…I think blogging friends are very special people:)

I hope your having a wonderful Sunday evening with your family or friends where ever you are!!!

  2. Hi Sweetie...
    Love your post today, and I am so glad to see you back.

    My goodness they must have a whole set of your dishes in the back, and just keep bringing out a few at a time, as they say Rondell will be in tomorrow, put out a few more pieces for her.
    I can just hear them now.

    I love that large pineapple and I will be watching to see what you do with it. I also adore your jewelry box. How beautiful it is.

    Thank you for sharing sweetie. I am so happy to see you again. Country hugs...Sherry

  3. Great new finds! I love how you are filling your dishes collection. Maybe I should pick a pattern & start my own search. Way cheaper than buying new... plus it is fun & a great way to go green. :)

    I hope all is well with your laptop soon.

    Smiles,
    Betty

  7. LOvwe your finds - especially the jewelry box. It looks like an old colonial document box!

    I have to say I had a hard time reading the black font on the brown page though. Maybe it is my 55 yr old eyes! LOL

  12. You always find some of the neatest stuff at GW. I am never so lucky when I go to ours. I have noticed lately that they seem to have a lot of 'overstock' things from stores that don't sell. I figure one of these days I will hit it lucky! :)

    Take Care and hope your new pc gets back home soon!
    *hugs*

  13. Hi Rondell............I think I would like to visit your Goodwill, you get the best buys there. I never saw vases like that in your pattern. We haven't lost as many branches as in years past.......we are getting too old for all of this clean up!

  20. Great finds, Rondell! Love the box. I found a box at a rummage sale Saturday, but haven't got it painted yet. I am always searching for boxes. I love the look of them stacked. So much fun, when we find a bargain, isn't it?
