100th Post and there is a GiveAway!!

Can you believe 100 posts? I can't. My blog is less than a year old, so I am kinda new to this but I love it! I love thinking up new things to share and even more I love reading othe blogs and getting great ideas from them. I love sharing my little finds and some of the things that I make. I try to keep it light here and not add too much personal crap, we all have enough of that don't we? Today I want to share last weekends flea market finds. The first one is a small "train case" we used to call them (dating myself aren't I) My hope for this is to tear out the inside (it is a mess and smells !) and add fresh fabric and then give it a coat of white paint. Cost $1
The two pictures are good size pictures I got for our future home here in SC. They were $15 for the pair, I love the pictures and the frames are in good shape. Not sure if I am changing the frame color or leaving them as is. These chidren just speak to my heart!! Last but by far the best a wood child's rocker $9!! It is real sturdy and even buying paint to paint it white it is a steal!! It will be beautiful on DD's porch. I have threatened to paint it pink so I could take it with me when I move out!! Pink is not baby girl's color but it sure is mine!!





Of course there is the give away! Please leave me a comment on this post for a chance to enter the give away. If you become a follower you get your name in the drawing twice! Add my give away to your blog and get another chance to win!! Spread the word, I would love to have more followers! Thanks to all of you who read my blog!!

  11. Karen, You got a lot of great deals!! I can't wait to see that train case when it is finished. The chair will look great painted white, but I agree that it will look even better painted pink!

  24. Well my first choice would have been the Train Case (age showing here as well). I love your CQing. A dear friend of mine was trying to teach me (long distance) and I think I did pretty well until it came to the embroidery. I have no experience here. I am a follower of yours now and perhaps I'll pick up the needle and embroidery thread and give it another try. Thanks for your give a way and congrats on 100 posts!
