Happy Tuesday Friends!

Can you believe we are into the second week of November already?
I can almost smell the Roasted Turkey, Mashed Potatoes with Gravy, and the Sweet Milk Dinner Rolls right now!
I wanted to thank each and every one of you who purchased items off my previous post.
I had 12 customers and only a handful of items left....I plan on taking those up to Goodwill tomorrow.
It was a lot of packaging and the postmaster thought I was selling on EBay...but it was so much fun!
I may have to do this again soon! Online Garage Sales are great...If you have items that are cluttering up your space, you might want to consider doing this on your blogs...it is free for you, and you might just get that extra $$$ for Christmas!
Remember...One Woman's clutter is another Woman's Treasure =)

I wanted to share with you a few things that I have been doing this past week.
I cut apart a pillow sham and coffee stained it. I then, mounted it in a frame. I believe that Mary from Gettysburg Homestead did this also.
The holes were actually caused by a mouse that decided to make a nest out of this in my shed/studio. I have since put De-Con in there and have no other problems.
But I thought it added some age to it...So thank you Mickey Mouse! Here is what I did with the stockings that Jenn made me and the small mittens I found at Goodwill...I also found the peg rack at Goodwill on a different trip.
I can't wait to bring this over to the house so that I can use this.
Thank you again Jenn!
Here are some items that I have picked up on my thrifting travels....














I love a good collection of "Chick Flicks"
I found this "as is"...
I love the red under the mustard....Prim Perfect!


This is what I am working on for "Whatcha' Working on Wednesday"

I went to Goodwill yesterday (I know...big surprise!)...and I hit the Prim mother-lode!
Someone must have decided that they did not want that decor anymore...so they unloaded it!
I peed my pants in the store...good thing I was wearing my Depends!!
I will share those items with you next week.
I hope all of you are having a great week...Thank you for taking the time to visit with me =)

Oh Janene!
Happy Tuesday sweetie. While blog hopping this morning I happened upon your beautiful blog of happiness. I am so thrilled. My gosh you have so many beautiful things to look at. I love the little pillow ticking stocking that you hung with the mittens. They are precious. The little angel atop the tree tugged at my heart. My gosh you have so many things. I loved everything.

I have signed up to follow your blog. I cannot wait to see what you share next. Please pop over and say hello. I would so love to have you sign up to follow my blog as well.

Country hugs, Sherry
