Tuesday's Treasures With Brenda....

I look forward to Tuesdays with Brenda and they are always good ones!

Some weeks we find a real haul and some weeks a few things but they are all treasures to us.

 

We shopped three thrift stores and all of them are on Beltline Road in Irving.

Texas Thrift first and then a few blocks down is Goodwill and another few blocks past that is Thrift Giant.

I love the olive tree!

The wood and metal things are now hanging on the kitchen side outside the house.

Yes, I have run out of walls inside the house and moved on to the outside.

You never know what you will find when you're out thrifting. So many times I have something I need in mind, as does Brenda, and it seems to miraculously appear on the shelves! Not all the time but frequently.

Case in point, Sherry has been looking for smaller crockpots and I joined her in the search.

Not a crockpot in sight lately! All in good time.

Quality towels can be expensive but Brenda found these for me and I am replacing some shabby worn ones for better towels.

The yellow cushion is now in the sewing room on a chair and the curtain underneath it will go to the ranch and will hang above the bathroom sink.

Speaking of the ranch, we had planned on leaving tomorrow but have decided to wait until Friday.

We have loose ends to tie up and since it is going to storm on Thursday, we decided to take an exttra day here at home.

This is a Scentsy burner and now lives in our gazebo!

I save bits and pieces of spent candles to make firestarters or wax burners.

Making use of every bit if the fragrant wax.

The coffee place mats match a rug I have at the camper.

A brand new set of autumn lights!

 $5!

Two wine canvases at $1.50 each!

Louis Dean has already hung them on the fence across from the kitchen.

We've been working hard on the gardens, yard and areas.

Yes, we are old and elderly, but we keep at it!

Pulling weeds, planting flowers and vegetables.

Every morning we have coffee outside - either in the gazebo or the kitchen deck or the table on the front driveway or the new sunset deck in the back yard.

Bit by bit, step by step, here a little, there a little.

"For precept must be upon precept, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:"

Isaiah 28:10

I take all of these words to mean we must keep on doing what we can as well as we can for as long as we can.

And that's what Louis Dean and I are doing!

I pray you are as well.

We have been working on the gazebo and I'll show you the rest of the finished decorations.

I ordered a black and white buffalo checked rug and it made all the difference!
