JUNKIN FOR THRIFT. One of the things I look for when I go JUNKIN' is crystal and Blue Willow dishes. If the items are bargain basement prices, I perk up knowing I got a great price for a great item. I spent a few days with my Mom this past week. We went JUNKIN'...We stopped to see what a couple of THRIFT STORES had.
BLUE WILLOW heard me calling out when I showed up finding 4 BLUE WILLOW dishes in plate hangers. From Japan. Gawking at the 50 cent stickers on the plates, I didn't hesitate to put them in my shopping cart. If I had walked away with just these 4 items it would have been a successful shopping trip.
Naturally I had to look around. Mrs. Albee, the AVON figurine caught my eye as she jumped into my cart...well with some help. She's lovely and will be a nice addition to my figurines that I hope return to me in good condition. She's porcelain and in excellent shape. Excellent.
I found some small pressed and cut crystal bowls that I will use as Berry Bowls. THEY are not the exact same pattern at HOME, but I have a larger glass bowl that can be used along with the smaller berry bowls. I will place them in my curio cabinet when it is returned to me after being refinished from the house fire.
All and all, I was a happy shopper.
So HAPPY.
May you have a delightful day.
God bless,

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
the works of the Lord.
By wisdom
a house is built,
and through understanding
it is established;
through
knowledge
its rooms are filled with rare
and beautiful treasures.
SALVATION

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
