Tuesday's Treasures!! And a Movie With Candie!

This was my first old fashioned Tuesday in a long long time - minus the art!

Before I drove to Grapevine to meet Candie for an afternoon movie, I hit up four thrift stores, the Dollar Store and went to the bank.

I can barely remember the last time Candie and I spent an afternoon together.

I know it was this year.....I think......I'm pretty sure.

But we were long overdue!

Our movie of choice!

It was hilarious!!!!

The entire audience was women 'of a certain age.'

We laughed out loud a lot! 

Everyone did!! 

Albeit, some louder than others if you know who what I mean!

It was another scorcher of a day!

I remember the summer when it was 100+ for something like 60 days!

So this is not nearly as bad. Trying to think positively!!

After the movie we hit up Hobby Lobby with me riding in Candie's cool new Candy Apple Red car!

Then we lingered long over our very late lunch at Schlotzsky's!

There was so much to catch up on and we could have stayed and talked far longer than we did.

It was a special afternoon for me and I really needed to 'talk.'

Candie and I both have mothers in a rest home. Our mothers are totally different personalities and have very different situations - but we could share our daughter's hearts knowing we understood each other. Thank you for that, Candie.

Now for my Tuesday Treasures!!!

Out of the 4 thrift stores, I scored at least something at 3 of them.

Those Texas dishes now complete my set which I have purchased piece meal at different thrift stores.

Or maybe they did all come from the Goodwill on Beltline!

I love this lamp and it will live in the guest room.

Hopefully tomorrow.

So will this.

I'm going to call the guest room my She Shed Wannabe!

And I fell in love with this quilted coverlet.

It may live in the guest room on the full size bottom bunk.......

or it may live at the ranch.

I have a lot of projects to do.

Two baby quilts and two full size quilts for two newborns and two newly weds.

Plus lots of paintings!

This was not from Goodwill but a gift from my sweet neighbor girls.

You pull a string and it plays Jesus Loves Me.

I think the quads will love it!

They will be coming over for an Old Fashioned QUAD Day soon.

And I am hoping and praying we get the guest room put back together tomorrow.

That bunk bed is a seriously heavy piece of furniture.

It is pretty much assembled now.

However, I had the bright idea of putting a room size rug in there and that has caused me to just about cry tonight trying to help Louis Dean get that thing straight.

The bunk is HEAVY and he's used PVC pipes and blocks of wood to lift the bunk and try to straighten that confounded rug!!

It still has a wrinkle in it as I write and he is in there trying to figure it out.

The wrinkle will be UNDER the bed so I say - forget it and call it done and put that mattress down!

Except.....he has used wood putty - he loves that stuff - to fill holes so tomorrow he must sand it and then I must stain it and THEN we get to put the room back together!

The stuff that goes in there was strewn all over the house!

I consolidated it into the dining room, hall, sewing room, and our bedroom so I could at least clean the den, living room and kitchen.

I MUST have a clean room with candles and music to retreat to.....when I am just about ready to pull my hair out!

Okay, I am going to suck it up, put on my big girl panties and go in there and either help Louis Dean or convince him that a nice glass of wine and waiting until the morning to finish is a good idea.

I think I may be at this point!!!
