Daddy's Jar

I got this beautiful old Ball jar at a church yard sale.  It was a fundraiser for their Annie Armstrong offering.   I took the top off and it fell and broke.  I hate that.  What I found so precious about this old jar was the slip of paper that was inside of it.  It reads:

"Was Daddy's Jar"

(Eleanor)

I wonder who Eleanor is?  Her Daddy must have been very special.  My Daddy was special too.  

Copycat UPDATED

I remember back in the 70's when my bff got a push button phone.  We couldn't figure out what the # and the * buttons would ever be used for!  I saw this project and loved the telephone pad design.  I finally got it my hubby to hang it. 

I'll take a moon pie and an RC please

My mother in law gave me this awesome old RC cola crate.  I cleaned off the cobwebs and decided it would make a nice centerpiece for my dining room table.  I got the cute little birds at Lowe's for only $3 each! 

Thrifty finds

I got all this stuff at a church yard sale for $5!! The frame is Target brand and is in immaculate condition. The basket with the decorative balls are a beautiful color and are really heavy. I am not nor do I have any desire to be in the Junior League, but I thought this was a cute cookbook.

Meet the the Cloche family

Papa cloche-he's the size of a cake dome





Mama cloche-she's the size of a cheese dome



And baby cloche! It's little bitty! Seriously, isn't this the cutest thing? The green from the pear is showing up in the background so ignore that please. I got it at a new thrift shop in Goodlettsville, TN that benefits Teen Challenge. They have some really nice things.

Linky parties

I don't have any idea how to do linky stuff so I am doing it this way.

I am linking my project to these parties:

There are probably more, I just can't remember all of them. Don't laugh, y'all will be old someday.

I'm such a copycat

I saw this project on http://www.dollarstorecrafts.com/ a few weeks ago and I knew it had to be my next craft project. I bought the canvases at Dollar tree and used my cricut and some really pretty scrapbook paper from Michaels. Hubby has promised that he will help me hang them this weekend.
