Blue Plate and Treasures

I usually don't post much on the weekends because I am busy being a mommy, wife and doing church stuff. Not saying that I don't do these things during the week, because I do, but it may be the same with you that the weekends are simply busy!

I did have to share a few treasures. First is a blue and white plate. You may remember from here that I LOVE blue and white china. I don't know what it is about it, but it lures me in. On Saturday, my mother-in-law gave me this plate. It will be going on a kitchen wall (maybe if a certain plan works out that I will share later) or in another room. I just need to find a plate hanger.

Second, on Saturday, I realized that we have a Hobby Lobby. I have heard people in the blog world walk about it for months and I figured that we didn't have one. I looked Hobby Lobby up and to my surprise we have one 30 minutes from me. I was ecstatic because I found the following for 90% off. I am going to try to think outside the box for these new treasures.
The tall pokey thing (does it have a name?) was $2.50, the large mirror $3.50 and the two smaller mirrors were $1.60, everything was under $10! I love a good deal! I'm not sure what I will do with them yet, perhaps I will paint them, or not.

Lately it seems that I have a one track mind for decorating.

  1. I don't know what the tall thing is either, but what fun these new things will add to your house. Enjoy!

  2. What a great deal! I have a song that I sing when I get to go to Hobby Lobby. Hee hee. The song drives my husband nuts, but he loves seeing me happily dancing around the house when I get to go.

    The tall poky thing would look great on my mantle. Maybe I'll have to go find one for myself. Cue singing!

  4. I could've told you we have a Hobby Lobby, as it is located slightly further than spitting distance from my house. After you hit HL, you should just keep on driving. What's another 10-15 minutes at that point? ;)

  6. Fun treasures. For some reason your blog is showing up really dark on my screen and I can't read a lot of your post.
