Thrifty Chic

Love the chippy shabby white table.  Do you think the legs were cut off?  I can't decide, hmmm.  Needless to say I did not bring this treasure home with me.

A couple weeks ago found this beautiful chair at my local flea market.... My cat has decided to sleep in it.  Every morning this is where I find him....

I admit I love to play in the dirt....and, yes, I love to pull weeds!   I love the outdoors working and enjoy spending my free time in my garden.

Sometimes I wonder if Cyn and I are not a little nutty??? After all who is crazy enough to stand in line outside in this bitter, cold Midwest winter just to scrounge for treasures at a local estate sale.  Although growing up, I had always wondered what the inside of this Georgian home looked like.  We endured the cold and three hours digging inside the house produced many thrifty chic purchases.  Needless to say, we were not disappointed. 

When we think of pumpkin, we think of pumpkin pie and Thanksgiving.  I have had this dessert at a bridal shower (Cyn's shower in fact) and it is to die for.  A dessert so yummy you can serve it anytime of the year.  Enjoy!

Cyn and I never did make it to Ikea this past weekend.  We will save that trip for another day.  Cyn and I have become so thrifty we have a hard time justifying each and every purchase these days.  We blame it on all the fabulous finds we score at our local thrift stores.  Such treasures to be had just waiting for us to find them.  The chandelier by far was the highlight of the day.  Not only did I grab that baby fast, I had not only Cyn but another shopper loathing my fabulous find.   Looking forward to the next fabulous find......Jules
