Thrifty Treasures



Blessings to you and Hello from the Kansas Flinthills. If you don't know it by now, I enjoy JuNkIn for ThRiFtY TrEaSuReS! These 2 decorative white dishes are now companions to some other dishes that hang on the Diningroom Wall.



The Gold rimmed dish is one of President "IKE" Eisenhower's childhood homes in Abilene, Kansas that he lived in. The house is located at the President Eisenhower Museum. Maybe next time I tour the house, I'll blog about it. Though the house is small, it has a very comfortable feel to it.







These 3 Culinary Colors BAKEWARE DISHES from HOUSEWARES INTERNATIONAL, USA are in Harvest Gold, Avocado Green and Rust. They're oven, microwave and dishwasher safe.







MORE USA made white Corning Ware bakeware to go with the other pieces I've harvested. AND for lots of reasons, I like glass.






For a few dollars, I was thrilled to purchase this off white USA Pottery Vase.





When thumping this stemware, she chimed beautifully and I hope to use these brass candlesticks on the Thanksgiving Tablescape I'll soon create.




I hear Christmas music coming from upstairs that my daughter is playing, "I'll Be Home For Christmas." She and Toddler have been decorating their upstairs Apartment for Christmas! I bought these 2 Santa mugs and little bread dish to get me in the mood and they help, but it's nothing like hearing Christmas music drifting downstairs to set a mood. It snowed lightly today. Maybe hot chocolate could be fixed and these mugs used.


Soon it will be Ho Ho Ho...Merry Christmas!!!

First may you have a most blessed Thanksgiving. Have you got your menu planned and dishes located???
Luv u,
~Deanna~

Hi Deanna, I am trying to collect white plates too for a wall in my kitchen. Yours are pretty. And I love your USA off white pottery too! Have a happy week!

Me again...I have to say it again,...you are fun!

I like your thrifty finds! I collect whiteware too, and I like glassware and your other pretty things.

That's neat that you have an apartment upstairs for your daughter and granddaughter. How wonderful that you can be there for them, yet they have some privacy.

Yes, Christmas is just around the corner,...and I love Christmas music too. And I LOVE Christmas movies.

Love, Linda @ Truthful Tidbits

DECORATING

I knew a very frugal Lady named Edith that shared with me a excellent guideline for decorating. She said with ease, "If your room has clean ceilings, floors, and walls, and the windows have nice curtains, you'll have an attractive room."



John 3:7

“Marvel not that I said unto thee,

Ye must be born again.”

King James Version (KJV)

PSALM 118:17

I shall not die,
but live, and declare

PROVERBS 24:3-4

By wisdom
a house is built,
and through understanding

it is established;
through
knowledge

its rooms are filled with rare

and beautiful treasures.

BLOSSOM WHERE YOU ARE PLANTED
As long as I live, I will have to continually submit to God's plan for my life. You will be blessed because you turned your life over to God. Be confessing how good God is and tell Him you agree with who He says He is. BELIEVE and watch miracles happen. Be not afraid. ~Deanna

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS
SELECTING THE CORRECT SIZE CHANDY TO USE IN A ROOM MADE EASY. FORMULA MEASUREMENTS: Measure the room's height and width. Add together the numbers. Example: 8' x 10' room is 8 plus 10= 18" Use a 18" wide chandy. OR Take width of room calculating 2" for every foot. Example: 15' wide room. Take 15 times 2 = 30. Room needs 30" wide chandy. Standard distance between the bottom of the chandelier to the top of the table is 30 inches. When hanging the chandelier, make sure to hang it at the proper height. The bottom of a chandelier over a dining table or kitchen island should hang 30 to 32 inches above the top of the table or island. Most rooms call for at least 7 feet of space between the bottom of the chandelier and the floor.

WISHES

NO MATTER HOW BADLY YOU WISH with all your might that the something devastating that happened in your life hadn't happened and want so badly to go back in time to prevent it from happening...it isn't humanly possible to do this. You can't change the fact that it happened. IT DID. But JESUS can change the MEANING of what happened to you and give you PEACE. He can show you the way in which you are to go. God richly BLESS you. ~Deanna
