This is one of the goodies that I picked up on my shopping trip with my sister. We went to one of our favorite thrift stores called “Home Again”. It is a fairly new store in town…they purchase your items that you don’t want anymore and resale them. Wow was it our lucky day!! The night before they had gotten in a bunch of country prim items. My sister got herself a very old teddy bear, a raggedy doll, a vintage plate and vase…And she got me this prim light. Does anyone know what this might of been before it was turned into a light? It appears to be old and has some rust on the inside and outside. I’m not sure if I’m going to leave the homespun fabric bows on it or not. I can’t make up my mind on which room to put it in…might try it in different places to see where I like it the best.
Here’s a few other things that my sister got me while we were out on my Christmas gift shopping trip.
A rusty cow bell…I want to paint the star to make it stand out more. Hmmm…black, barn red or mustard?
We picked these up at Kmart for 90% off. I’m going to replace the red ribbon with some homespun fabric and leave them out through the end of January. My sister also got me some Ghiradelli chocolate and treated me to dinner. We had a lot of fun!!
This was what she actually gave me on Christmas day with the note that said my gift was a shopping trip with her. It says “Cherish Yesterday, Dream Tomorrow, Snow Today” And I’ve been wondering where has all the snow gone? We were expecting a snow storm of Friday night into Saturday with ice and up to 7 inches of snow…we had a storm watch then a storm warning, but it never came. We did get a little ice, but by late morning the roads were just wet. We have had ice warnings 4 times in the last the few weeks…I would much rather have snow than ice. It was a good thing that we didn’t get a bad storm as we spent Friday and Saturday helping Laura get moved out. As Friday got closer, I was feeling excited for her and a little sad for me all at the same time…
But when we got up on Friday morning, it turned out to be a really sad day! We got woke up by sirens at 5:40am…one of neighbors home, on the street behind us, was on fire. It was a 7 alarm fire and their house burnt totally to the ground. They got out fine, plus her mother who lived with them…but lost their dog and cat. I have never seen a house burn so quickly like it did. My friend Linda is a dispatcher and she said that the call came in at 5:30am, that they thought they had an electric fire cause by a ceiling light that shorted as it was turned on, but 10 minutes later the whole house was engulfed in flames. I’m so thankful that they got out…they have been in our thoughts and prayers. We have heard that they plan to rebuild.
Tomorrow during the day, I plan to get back to work on finishing some items that I want to list on my selling blog and esty. And now that Laura is all moved…hopefully, we can get back to working in the kitchen is the evenings and weekends.
Until next time…. prim blessings, Cindy
