Last Sunday I dropped in at the GCF at New Hope Church and 401.It seems off the beaten track but my church is close by.
I bought this table for $29.00. It's great looking. I still can't decide if I'll sell it.Watch Craigslist.It may just appear this week!

Coupons Queens!

 The recent HT triple coupon day started last Wed. I've been hearing about coupon crazed ladies for way too long. I just had to investigate for myself. This is the ultimate in organization....
The book belongs to Kari B. I met her at HT doing her thing. She made the book herself. She buys 4 Sun. papers each week to "clip" her way to SAVINGS! She saves 40% on her groceries and was proud to share sites.There's couponmom.com and krazycouponlady.com.
Amanda K. told me she joined a fb group CarolinaCouponQueens. Ichecked it out too! That woman saved $90.00 this week and writes it up big time.She's at the store and in line by 7:00am as the sale clock starts. Poor Bea  wrote there were 35 women in line holding places for one another at 7:00. You don't want to be there in less you're a coupon queen...sleep-in, go later!
Another fb friend, Peggy F. lives in Fl. where they are STEALING newspapers for coupons, in the middle of the night!! They caught the thief on video, ran the clip on the evening news...caught in the act, "The COUPON BANDIT".
Watch out coupon ladies! Check the paper before you purchase. Raleigh could fall victim at anytime:)
As for me I still like Costco. I have thoughts of SCREAMING in the parking lot,"Does anyone want to SPLIT this up w/Me? Who needs a yrs. worth of TP?

European Prints

 My photos can't capture the beauty of these 3 treasures. They are water color prints of European coastal towns.I found them yesterday at GW for $3.00 a piece. The artist name, too difficult to read and foreign. I'll have to continue my research!

They remind me of the trip I took last summer to the Southern France.
I looked through my photos and found one I took 7/2010 in Annecy, France.It sure looks like one of the towns in my new collection.What an incredible trip for me, France and Goodwill...what a MIX!

Table Display

Favorite things should be shared. I started collecting china on layovers in London years ago. The cup and saucer made the trip back. The plate and leather prayer book came from a tag sale in Chapel Hill. The hand painted dish $2.00 from GW.Beautiful cherry antique table w/spindel legs also that same tag sale.
Take it from me; "Buying a house, SIMPLE. Making it a HOME, takes time and that's the fun part!"

Incredible Bottle

This old glass bottle has a story to tell! The only marking says, "Liquor Bottle"
on the bottom.It's really a beauty in color and detail.Goodwill priced at $1.98
Another Treasure!

Deck Statement

A true gem for $65.00 on Craigslist. I'll enjoy playing with it to display my "white" collection for now.Next spring I'll see what will grow in there.
