What a great day! I am off work and the snow is coming down; no worrying about icy/snowy roads and trying to get to work. This kind of day puts me in a mood to settle in and get a few things done around that house that are enjoyable to me (note: I did not say vacuum!) Reading my new magazines: Country Living, Romantic Homes, Mary Engelbreit's Home Companion, Flower Gardens, and Better Homes & Gardens Do It Yourself Weekend Projects. Maybe if I'm lucky something will inspire me to be creative or give me a new idea for spring planting.
I did want to share this photo of two of my recent Goodwill buys, this pretty white cup and saucer and planter. The violets were already in the planter, which are in excellent condition. Each was bought at different times, but they are pretty displayed together! And the best part it only set me back $2.50!

They look like they came together. I love the stark white against the violet.

"Hi, I'm Jennifer and I am a thrift-aholic"....("Hi Jennifer") I swear a few years ago my husband was ready to have an intervention. I love to find goodies on the cheap.
Have you ever stopped going to a certain thrift store because they became "too proud of their stuff?" I expect thrift stores to have thrift store prices! The one in town has gotten to high and I would rather drive 30 miles to another one. And at these gas prices! - Jennifer
I hope you are still enjoying your cozy time!! It is zero here and I am going to nest all day:-)
