Hello Beloved! It's a great day today at Home Haven. Welcome to Tuesday Treasures. I had to make a mad dash to the Topeka Post Office to get an important bill mailed out right away. I'm so glad that when I mess up and a bill gets over looked that I can hot foot it to the Post Office in the evening and give a sigh of relief...it's going out tonite!
So while I was so close to the huge bookstore, I just had to pay a visit and of course I found a couple of books marked way down. One was on Interior Design, THE AMERICAN TOWNHOUSE by Kevin D. Murphy and photography by Radek Kurzaj. The other book is GREEN CLEANING by Margaret Briggs and Vivian Head. Don't have pics of these, but will enjoy sharing any info I think would be fun to hear about.
BOOKS are a WEAKNESS with me along with lipsticks, fingernail polish and especially NIC- NACS. A weakness I tell 'ya! I've done better about not buying so many purses! This is a victory and I really need to buy clothes, clothes and more clothes. I'm ignoring this part of what makes a woman bee u ta full. I will overcome this down fall this month as all the great sales come to light. I will buy, buy, buy...because my sis is coming to town and that's what we do in AUGUST. She's a clothes horse...hee heeeeeeeeeee. Better get some sugar cubes out and feed me.
HINT: Never put off updating the wardrobe because you keep thinking 'I will update after I lose umpteen pounds...then I will buy some really cute clothes.' I've done this for years and have come to realize that this excuse just doesn't carry any weight to it.
What ever size you are, look pretty all the time. It will make life alot happier and a happy woman is so sweet to be around.
I treasure your blogging friendship this Tuesday and everyday right along with BOOKS. Each book is special and I seem to keep finding places to stack them. Sure enjoy them.
Happy Tuesday,
~Deanna~

HI!!!
I couldn't have said it better myself!!! I had my physical about a month of so ago and they finally called about it, I ahve taken cholesterol meds for years, My Dad died at age 52 just short of it really, so mine Chol, is and has been high, so meds for me, but anywho, they called and said I need to start taking 1 pill one day 2 pills the next day, ok I can live with that, she she said something like body fat index, and i was like, oh I'm ok, I'm 5 5 almost she said NO you are 5 4 --i said well 5- 4 1/2 but with weight being 145 she said you really need to lose a few pounds, I thought I was going to cry, I know I have gained 5 pounds ever 5 years and CANNOT TAKE IT OFF!!!! I try and try, and I give up, I thought about me and treadmill becoming friends again then said it's to hot!!!!haha
hugs,
jamie
cannot wait to hear about the books!!!!
Books are a definite weakness of mine. I read all the time and often will have a different book in 3 or 4 locations of the house and will pick up the story or chapter of each book as I am in that room. I can still follow that many story lines at the same time. And I usually find I have finished reading 3 or 4 books at the same time.
I would give up T.V. quite readily before I would give up books!
Wait now... Those words of wisdom are fan-tast-ic!!! So we are going to buy you some wonderful clothing?! Right!!! hip hip how-ray! A hot granny in the house (and I don't mean hot flash hot!)
Much love!
Deanna, I love how you enjoy life! I always smile when I read your posts.
Glad you found some books to add to your piles! Ha!
I love decorating books and nature books, and garden books, etc. So pretty to look at.
Of course I like to read too. I like Christian, Romantic, Historical Fiction, and also Biographies and True Stories. Occassionally I will read a Mystery.
I love magazines too. I like Romantic Home, and Victoria, and Country Living, and Midwest Living, and Family Circle, and Woman's Day to name a few. We also get Reminesce. It is fun to read about the olden days! ((smile)).
Gotta Run!

Books.....and boxes of books...and stacks of books. The handyman needs to put it in high gear on the roof so I can move on to some of the other projects, like a place for all of our wonderful books. I know there are some I have that I would like to sit and enjoy but I don't remember which box they are in! :O)
Those books last night were a great buy!

I love garage sale-ing for old books I also have many boxes full, waiting for a shelf.
I've gained lbs.this winter after a back injury and decided rather than spending on new clothes, I'd garage sale for a few and boy did I hit the jackpot! One sale had new clothes as if I'd picked them out of my favorite catalog!
Hi Deanna! Thank you for stopping by my blog and leaving such sweet comments about my laundry room...I hate doing laundry so that's why I picked yellow it is bright and cheery...I would have liked a window in there butit was not possible, that way it would have made doing laundry alot more enjoyable....I loved reading your post, you are so right...I hate clothing shopping but when I do get something, it makes me feel better. Have a nice week! hugs, Jennifer

Hi Civilla! Howdy back.
I've been losing weight steadily since January and keep putting off buying clothes because "they'll be too big soon." Meanwhile I keep wearing the ones that keep getting bigger and make me look frumpy. This is the inspiration I need to get rid of all those "fat" clothes and get some that fit now.
Oh I love books! Especially the old ones, the classics, the ones about Victorian anything, decorating books, gardening books. books about roses, porcelain, vintage jewelry, or cameos, hmmmm...I guess you could say that I just plain love books:).
Blessings,
Kim
Preach it, sistah! I love your philosophy! Are you going clothes shopping? Hang on and I'll grab my purse and go with you!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Sounds like you got some great books to add to your collection of treasures. It's always a joy to visit your blog :)
Dear Ones, Thx for commenting. I love these visits.
Gina, so glad you've dropped by. Have fun shopping...I'm gonna.
Kim, Books are such a treat and I agree that the really old ones are a extra treat.
Shelia, Come on ya' all, let's all go and make a party out of this. What fun we'd have!
Blessings,

Sandra, So glad you've stopped by.
Books are great! Hope all is well.

Congratulations on your knighthood. I loved her blog and I am just so happy to be in that great group. I am so happy your Sis is coming. Ya my Rachel is doing fine. One week ago today the surgery. We have all realized how fragile life is and just gathered all together to give thanks. Thanks for your prayers and support dear Deanna. I love books too. I have a virtual bookshelf. Already read those though.
