Look What I Found!~~~

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">HI everyone, You all know that I have gone through every nook and cranny of this house in preparation for the BIG MOVE:) Well, I found this pottery basket under one of the kitchen cabinets. I have had it forever and forgot about it. So today I went to the place where I used to work and got this great FAUX succulent to put in it! I LOVE it.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnHJdYs8xmjfasjvG7HG9gzTBSeXIUsoSrXZ1HfWglEx-CyOUD_-YsulBhNOULZpb5laqJmoeXJiKP3rt-rd4GCluid8lLxFj7ZEyTyBK2I1rEhH3XAraSV5OBPL0g0PCqjhGZPYSjg_2f/s1600/IMG_0945.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" sda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnHJdYs8xmjfasjvG7HG9gzTBSeXIUsoSrXZ1HfWglEx-CyOUD_-YsulBhNOULZpb5laqJmoeXJiKP3rt-rd4GCluid8lLxFj7ZEyTyBK2I1rEhH3XAraSV5OBPL0g0PCqjhGZPYSjg_2f/s640/IMG_0945.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> I Love the curved handle on the "basket/pot". I got this from a local potter MANY years ago and I bet I only paid a dollar or 2 for it!!!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6WymyfoaGdDD15x6dcwkE68dmUK_hRhVP8baCy0FiTe_94jXKcbsUs9v6Nf8phHKk3Lc2u6X4KJ4u-LsmztrAxsL8I7a53UYVgqsb57XvALKrR8-pbatG6mSf2vqIOWRvwMyfOH9VaHRh/s1600/IMG_0946.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" sda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6WymyfoaGdDD15x6dcwkE68dmUK_hRhVP8baCy0FiTe_94jXKcbsUs9v6Nf8phHKk3Lc2u6X4KJ4u-LsmztrAxsL8I7a53UYVgqsb57XvALKrR8-pbatG6mSf2vqIOWRvwMyfOH9VaHRh/s640/IMG_0946.JPG" width="640" /></a><br /> I don't think I showed you my palm tree canisters when I posted the kitchen. I found these in Fl. many years ago and they HAD to come home with me. I got them at Steinmart before we had Steinmart up here in the north! I love the basket weave detail on these. And the bamboo detail around the rims.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw3_LT87XEEVjcNFxo9mqEou7W8b4CZ4raNj9iHBW61IA4CX2BKOVvHVioz817zGj7PWJOVtCIaOpVQPcd9o91AK3iBs35Kxddv_-ZVkXxbBhdWq-NeqXueT7oi0OiAyYrgo5dS-D9nUxy/s1600/IMG_0947.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" sda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw3_LT87XEEVjcNFxo9mqEou7W8b4CZ4raNj9iHBW61IA4CX2BKOVvHVioz817zGj7PWJOVtCIaOpVQPcd9o91AK3iBs35Kxddv_-ZVkXxbBhdWq-NeqXueT7oi0OiAyYrgo5dS-D9nUxy/s640/IMG_0947.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> A plate on a palm tree stand.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgucn01iw___6nrsQQuiyjY_BWzegNF3jRuK8PBcsIkuFC-GPH93etFtXAEab0Kc2vFVaTIsYfvb0eH9ouBt0K7SOQEFQLOO8D8Jq44QabYrEppQhZ5e6fEkpUj9Mrw4odPHr9YZhcpENRq/s1600/IMG_0948.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" sda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgucn01iw___6nrsQQuiyjY_BWzegNF3jRuK8PBcsIkuFC-GPH93etFtXAEab0Kc2vFVaTIsYfvb0eH9ouBt0K7SOQEFQLOO8D8Jq44QabYrEppQhZ5e6fEkpUj9Mrw4odPHr9YZhcpENRq/s640/IMG_0948.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> Here we have a pineapple lamp and another palm tree plate.

~~~The Move is Complete!!!~~~

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Good Monday afternoon my friends!!! Wow, it has been a VERY busy few weeks around here! I apologize for being MIA but as I told you in an earlier post, our daughter, SIL, and their 2 dogs moved in with us this weekend. They will be here while their BEAUTIFUL, new house is being built!!!!!! I am SO over the moon happy for them! So, I took some pics, mainly so they would have a record of their first move together, and I thought I would share them with you. On Fri. they both took a half day off so I went over to help pack up the last few things. The dogs greeted me when I got there!!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAg2TkxTSqLbJaFRn3-89F_M829mLFvzpNU6mBcvpT-bnyhr2jO2Y4fHUvDrQdaYNy_eFTuLjCvTr7P-j5Ge8MRsONr3xg1bHuEpBpla-ty5AYFJh5hN3NlswyJtIHAozu5nQrUmbgWyxH/s1600/IMG_0918.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" gda="true" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAg2TkxTSqLbJaFRn3-89F_M829mLFvzpNU6mBcvpT-bnyhr2jO2Y4fHUvDrQdaYNy_eFTuLjCvTr7P-j5Ge8MRsONr3xg1bHuEpBpla-ty5AYFJh5hN3NlswyJtIHAozu5nQrUmbgWyxH/s640/IMG_0918.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> Tracy bought this house almost 6 years ago so it is a little sad to her to be leaving it.

And of course there is the TV as well. I watch a lot of TV. I love TV.

New/Old Kitchen Table

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Good Wednesday afternoon! I am still a BUSY girl, getting ready for "the kids" to move in this weekend. We decided to give T and D the kitchen table we were using, since their "morning room" will be ALOT bigger than our breakfast room, AND it has 6 chairs. I love the style of the table and chairs. The way I acquired it was our son tried to sell it at a garage sale here for....are ya ready... $150.00, brand new in the boxes!!!!!!!!!!!!! And it didn't sell! You can't get a not so nice table and FOUR chairs at K Mart for that let alone that table and 6 chairs. Anyway, now T and D will have it to enjoy. I always felt it was a little too big for our room but didn't want to give it away. So today Joe and I took it apart and brought our old table and chairs up from the basement in anticipation of THE MOVE this weekend.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8qnXp9F-iJQTWZRy5Rfyga5yDclZGUfJ4ZHRrRMWDRVyhyphenhyphenPQMwpoJ0wMw-Fxnk6JCFeqtL6-ZK8yIDQithP2p_al67VmgM9DkQcyXamUn7wwXkEdDg-mDTpl0VMMlbo69xuWS1F6Z1JxX/s1600/IMG_0906.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" gda="true" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8qnXp9F-iJQTWZRy5Rfyga5yDclZGUfJ4ZHRrRMWDRVyhyphenhyphenPQMwpoJ0wMw-Fxnk6JCFeqtL6-ZK8yIDQithP2p_al67VmgM9DkQcyXamUn7wwXkEdDg-mDTpl0VMMlbo69xuWS1F6Z1JxX/s640/IMG_0906.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlvXGHVc_K44sNbLYjyx8-fsWoUUw-A7O5P6yJx2LPGIq2HfPjDeipWFiUJXkYw6WCF3lTgUmIYpA81T4OdJejdMzXVV_TiuUMOJduziyokwy0I78pKsUGD71l5Zyc0PhV_p7q9mX-lokG/s1600/IMG_0907.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" gda="true" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlvXGHVc_K44sNbLYjyx8-fsWoUUw-A7O5P6yJx2LPGIq2HfPjDeipWFiUJXkYw6WCF3lTgUmIYpA81T4OdJejdMzXVV_TiuUMOJduziyokwy0I78pKsUGD71l5Zyc0PhV_p7q9mX-lokG/s640/IMG_0907.JPG" width="480" /></a></div> Here is our "old" table.
