Friday Favorites

With the weekends approaching Friday always seem to whiz by without notice. So I thought it would be a perfect day to have Friday Favorites. A posting about some of my favorite people, places or things.

Here are my Fur Babies, which they are all my favorites. :)

Next week I will show you some of my favorite things about our new house.

I am also working on my blog to be less cluttered, more postings, and a giveaway soon too!

What are a few of your favorite things?

Yard Sale & New Goodies

My yard sale went SUPER great on Friday and Saturday sales dribbled in. My dad brought down 4 van loads of items and sold almost everything. I sold almost everything on Friday and let my younger sister sell my remainder items and keep the money on Saturday. Sadly I forgot the sunscreen and paid the price for it on Sunday.

I picked up some wonderful items from my dad that he was going to sell. Most of them were from my grandparents farm when I was young. Some old LARGE blue canning jars, old produce scale an old oil lamp with the reflector and some other odds and ends.

Mr. P and I visited one of the local bars/restaurant on Sunday evening for dinner. Mr. P was happy to find they had 25cent chicken wings and $1 drafts. After our long and busy weekend it was nice to just relax on Sunday with each other.

Sadly Monday morning came way to early today. Here we are another week trucking along.

I am am bound and determined to get my kitchen finally completely unpacked and organized. It is driving me nuts with boxes under foot and things every where.

I will be sure to share photos of the kitchen once I have everything in its place.

Been Off Enjoying Summer........

We have been busy with moving, repairs, more moving, Me being sick, having a yard sale, then Mr. P being sick, and more moving. We have also been enjoying the new farmers market in our town park every Saturday morning. Here is a picture of a small portion of our bounty recently.

Green beans for a steal and Amish made raisin bread. YUM!

I actually look forward to jumping out of bed each and every Saturday morning to see what awaits us.

I have been busy unpacking more and more, washing, scrubbing and putting away. I feel for every box I unpack there are 2 more waiting for me. I have no choice other then to keep myself unpacking since I was in a little fender bender a few weeks back. So I am without a car for hopefully no more then another month.

Of course the house is a huge work in progress so pictures will be sparse for the moments until more work is done and walls are painted. I can say besides paint on the walls there is at least one room that is coming together nicely. That would be the ever so small pantry. haha

Before - small oak dresser was in there for linens I believe.

Now -- I use to be a HUGE coupon user so do not be alarmed by the 10 bottles of A1 sauce or 30 cans of chicken broth. I should also mention I still have 3 boxes of food I could not fit in here. So it has been a treasure hunt if we need something.

My old wooden Yeast box hold spice packets. I hope to find more to store items on the shelves.

Old oak drawer found at a barn sale for 10cents!

Old wooden black bench (that Mr. P does not like) holds various old wooden crates.

On the floor a old chippy paint egg basket holds extra boxes of foil and baggies.

Crock bowl holds extra containers of spices.

Tomorrow and Saturday we are having a town wide yard sale. My dad and sister are both bringing down all sorts of things to combine with the few items I will also have for sale.

I hope I can grab a few moments to go scour the sales on Saturday morning on my way to the park for the farmers market.
