Thrifty Thursday....



Boy...what another busy day I have had...

Started out washing the shower curtains and cleaning the tubs...

Then I made 2 pans of cabbage rolls...

Then I made lunch...

Then I decided to do a major cleanup in the backyard....

Then Erika called, and said her and Vivian were coming by for a cup of tea...

Then I ran upstairs to get cleaned up...

Then my other daughter Lissa arrived...

Then they went to Winners...while Vivian had a nap...

Then I put the cabbage rolls in the oven, and a peameal roast for everyone...

Then my son-in-law Jeff arrived ,as he and Lissa were taking a daybed from upstairs, to their place...

Then we sat in the back yard for a bit....then we ate...then Erika and Vivian went home....we sat around and talked for a while....my boyfriend helped Jeff load the daybed into our truck, which they were borrowing for the night...

                                         P H E W !!!!!


      Good thing I loaded these pictures in yesterday....all ready for my Thrifty

                            Thursday post.....Off we go........:o)

                I picked up this paint by numbers, for $1 each...

                    Kind of an unusual subject, and larger than usual..

                          They will go with the rest upstairs in the back bedroom
                                         at the cottage...
  
This cute silhouette was also $1...


Love this pair of Milk Glass candlesticks   $3......



And these 2 glass canisters made me smile...one was 50 cents and the other was 75 cents....they are perfect for my tea and sweetener...they both have
glass lids, which I especially  like......







My son brought me this cute little leprechaun, that he had picked up that day whilst he was thrift shopping, on the way to the cottage last Saturday...He already has a spot on the sunporch with the others...Isn't he just toooo cute...with his little squeeze box...and all freshly painted as well...:o)




Just had to include my sweet violet from the cottage...still going strong on my table in the window....hopefully they can stay for a few more months, before it 
                        gets too cold...




well.................I am pooped...haven''t even shopped for the weekend yet

Oh....to hell with it...we'll shop in Vineland at my favorite little IGA...

Whatever the special is......is what we are having to eat at the cottage..

            Hope you were as busy as I was...

                            Feels great, eh?

        More pictures of Vivian to come...


                            Cheers!  :o)

  2. You find such great things at your thrift stores! Yesterday I found my son a brand new pair of Vans shoes (in his size, 11!) for $6.00. I also each of my kids a pair of jeans, a top and vest for my daughter, my son 2 funky green lamps for his room and a book. All for $35.00. I am glad my kids don't mind having thrift store finds.
    I love cabbage rolls. They are a lot of work to make!

    1. actually Birdie...I do the "lazy" cabbage rolls...just layer the cabbage like a lasagna...layer of meat and rice..tomato juice...you get it...used to roll them, and they always turned out crummy...hence the "lazy" method...and they taste exactly the same...glad to see you are a thrift lover, as well...:o)
