Mustard Seed Planting today.....and although riches would be nice, I'm reminded in Proverbs ~

Excellent list, sweet bloggy friend! Can't wait to see snaps of all your thrifty finds. Isn't it the best feeling to clean out and send it to Goodwill? ☺ I have a box that is accumulating from every room. Happy Wednesday! ☺
You have given me hope!! I never seem to find cute items or great buys at my local thrift stores :) I'll have to look again!
The only thing that would make this post better...would be to sit with you,drinking coffee laughing over the little things...and God's humor!!
Received the blanket...it is PRECIOUS!
It took me a long time, but I think I finally figured out the best day to go for my stores. Or, it could have been a once-in-a-lifetime thing....we'll see. =)
So glad the blanket made it to you, Rebecca!
Your lists always make me smile, and I agree that contentment is a beautiful thing indeed! Thanks for sharing your blessings!
