VINTAGE GOODNESS.......

I thought I would share some pictures of goodies I found at thrift shops lately with you. Some of these items will be for sale as soon as I can post them. Here are some beautiful vintage slips I found on Sunday.....






I LOVE and am addicted to Jewelry, ANY jewelry, whether it be store bought (on clearance of course), vintage or handmade.....Here is just a very small sampling of some vintage items I picked up recently....




I have also been trying to organize my craft/office/storage space with some success. I need a clear slate for a clear mind so I can try and create something with all my vintage lovelies....


This is a really cute crocheted baby dress I found at the Goodwill yesterday. I practically snatched it out from under another woman's nose (ha ha!!)


Here is a basket of some goodies I found at the Goodwill in the last couple days. The bolt of fabric was only 99 cents!! I am not sure what I'm going to make with that yet. The silver tray was 75 cents and the floral hat was 50 cents!!! I love bargains like that!!


Here's hoping your tomorrow is a grand one....Hugs~Chris

I have been spending a lot of my free time lately creating my new web-store that I will be sharing with you soon. I also hope to get my Etsy store started in the near future as well. It's not a quick thing.....you know.....posing items.....take the pictures....upload the pictures....resize the pictures....download the pictures.....yada yada yada!!!! Be sure to check back often, because when both stores are active, I will be sharing a special surprize with you. I hope you will take this trip with me...I think it will be fun!!

I want to share a few new photos with you tonight. This beautiful picture was taken by my son, Brandon.

Here are some new photos of my grandkids....This one is from this past weekend. They had "Trick or Treat on Main"....I don't know who can be"Goofier" Goofy or the kids.

Here is a group picture of my grandkids! Now these are the kids I know.


Last but not least...here is our baby, Marbles.......


Take care and hoping that your tomorrow is a good one.......Hugs~Chris

More scenes from my backyard

Last September we took Kimmy and Katie (our granddaughters)
camping with us.
We had lots of fun celebrating Halloween that weekend.
We intended on going again this year, put Papa got sick and we couldn't go.
We had some very disappointed kids.


Here is a picture of all the kids at the campground on a hay ride.

This is a picture of our grand kids from a few years ago....They all have very different personalities, as you can see by their costumes.
