Hello Monday: A Birthday and An Estate Sale

How was your weekend?

Mine started Friday night we had a birthday celebration for my nephew Tyler. I made a four layer dessert for his birthday. We also call it Mud Slide Pie. It has four yummy layers made up of: A pecan crust, cream cheese and powdered sugar and whipped topping, chocolate pudding and more whipped topping on top with added pecans. Very easy and quick and it disappeared quickly.

On Saturday I went to an estate sale in town. I love going to these, not only because of the treasures but seeing the homes too. I always like to imagine the way I would decorate each room. I am always interested in the person that lived there. The woman of this house liked sewing and painting portraits and flowers. She also loved baskets and some miniatures. I was hoping to find some sock darner eggs among the sewing treasures but I did not.

Here is what I bought. I know I know!!! I have been talking constantly about cleaning out the clutter from my home but some of these lovelies just had to come home with me. I don’t think you have to try and put out every item that you have at once. I like to switch things up. I keep these treasures stored until I do. Yes that is my story and I am sticking to it. Oh, and I forgot to mention, everything was 50% off on Saturday!!!!!

I kept going back to this candelabra. Whenever I do this at a sale it is a sure sign that I need to go back for it. What will I do with it? I’m not sure. I can just imagine it full of small or large candles and it will be beautiful.
I’m not sure yet where I will put this lamp. I am definitely replacing the shade. I just loved the design of the flowers.
I think this planter is beautiful. I seem to have an obsession with this type of planter. I have several that are animals and have the opening on the side or on the back. But I thought this one was especially nice for Christmas.
I love these vases. They are old and very delicate.
Some bottles for my bottle tree

I was fighting off a cold or sinus thing on Sunday so I stayed in all day and knitted and crocheted, the day away. A good day!!!! Have a wonderful week!!!

Always remember

Love your day your way!!!!!!!
