Menu Plan for the Week 4-11-10

Another weekend is gone! This one went by quickly! We had a great yard sale on Saturday and did our Saturday chores on Sunday. We also got surprise visit from a very good friend and my goddaughter!

I Heart Yard Sales!

I am so glad yard sale season is back!!! I got to do a little thrifting too since I have been on spring break. I found quite a few goodies this week.

First, I found these cute canisters for $3 at one of my favorite thrift stores. Since my hubby started making his own mochas I needed something to keep all his ingredients in out on my counter. These are almost exactly what I had pictured in my mind.

Next, well actually first, I found this cute lamp. It was also $3, but I didn't get it the day I saw it in the store. Fortunately for me it was still there when I went back. I was so excited! I love the patina. I was too impatient to wait to find a shade during my yard sale adventures, so I grabbed one at Target. I need to gussy it up, but it will do while I think about how I want to fix it up.

I also hit some yard sales on Saturday. I have been on the lookout for a cookbook holder and scored today! I picked up this blue beauty for $2. As my middle son said, "You got a bargain!"

It would have been great in my country kitchen many moons ago, but it got the ORB (oil-rubbed bronze) treatment as soon as I got it home! I used a tip that I read about on another blog and used a brown as a base coat so I didn't have to use as much as ORB paint. I think it turned out great, if I do say so myself!

At the same yard sale I was able to get 2 beautiful 11 x 14 frames for $1 each! I hurried and gave the husband my money before his wife found out what he was selling her stuff for.

I know exactly what pictures I want to put in these! I can't wait to get to Costco on Monday to get my prints.

I am a happy girl because I think I've found my yard sale groove again! It's been a long winter!! I missed my bargains!

I hope everyone else had great luck this weekend! Head on over to Rhoda's at Southern Hospitality for Thrifty Treasures to see some more great finds!

Until next time,

Happy Easter!

I hope you all have a wonderful day with family and friends!
