Unexpected thrift store stop

I was a little early for my salon appointment yesterday and there just happens to be a little thrift store a few steps away...so decided to pop in!  Will show you a few things that will appear in my etsy a little later.
 This first one is a "Cabbage Patch Kids"...I think nightie.  It is pink with lace around neck, sleeves and bottom.  It also has a strip of lace down the front. 
 This is a little white skirt or petticoat that could be for Barbie or doll a little larger. Lace around hem.
 A cute little pinafore apron with a blue and green trim.  This is kinda like the one Raggedy Ann wears.  Hers doesn't have the trim.
 Little white dress, petticoat or nightie.  Label inside "Made in China" and the lace is pink.  This would fit a small baby doll it measures about 8" overall.
This is a handmade skirt or half-slip.  It has a piece of elastic in the waist and measures 7" long.  It has been made from a wide pice of fabric with trim at the bottom.  I have left all of these alone with no washing etc...so they come as is.  A few stains, but nothing major.  I believe will come clean.

Have a great week end!  
Peace and Blessings all you dear Bloggers!

Every Morning Beautiful

This Bible verse came to me today from a lovely family member and I had to share! 
Think of this every morning before  you start the day.

Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.  They are new every
morning; great is your faithfulness.

Lamentations 3:22-23

Have a Blessed Monday dear blogger friends.

Peace and Joy, 
Nancy

Bangle Bracelets made from empty tape rolls

 
 
 

Some examples of my latest.  These are bracelets I made from empty tape rolls.
The flowers are made from torn fabric and ribbon, with added bead embellishments.
These are fun and easy to make.

When it rains....it pours....

As you all know the South has been in a drought.  My yard is like a sand pile!
Well, finally started raining yesterday, and I had a down pour at my house.
The front yard looked like a lake, and I had no boat! lol
Inside the house, I had no water!  I didn't want rain water, I just wanted
water to come out of the spigot when I turned on the tap!  BUT, NO!!
it did not!  Water experts here...finally after two days of off and on water,
hopefully, now it is fixed.  More adjustments to come!  Just making sure
it is all in working order first.  Will keep you up-dated on this as I live it!

Peace and Blessings all you lovely blogger friends!

Easter Greetings





We, as Christians, celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ on Easter Sunday.
The Bible tells us that on the third day he arose from the dead.
His love is so great that he died so that we might all have eternal life, and
all we have to do is to accept him as our Savior.
Let us praise and honor him, not only during the Easter season, but all the year!

Blessings to you all, blogger friends,

Happy Easter,  Nancy
