4th of July, 2009!

I am so anxious to share some of my recent finds for Show and Tell at Kelli's. I went for quite a few weeks and just didn't see anything that "thrilled" me to buy it. But that "problem" was resolved last week, when, I frankly could have bought the stores out!

My hubby bought me this adorable candle holder when we were in Prescott as a surprise to me. I was antiquing....and he went into the candle store and found this copper looking calla lily candle holder. It is so pretty at night and I finally found the perfect place for it...which wasn't easy!

While antiquing, I saw these little goblets. There was only 2, but we are only 2! I didn't NEED them, but when they said $1.00 each...well, could you have resisted?

and 2 compote dishes...yep, same price...and they are crystal.

OK, on the squeal level...well, let's just say I was having a Hallelujah moment inside Hobby Lobby when I found this fantastic baby!!!

Hmmm, you all are squealing with me now too...I KNOW you are!

I put my little wreath and eggs from the Apothecary jar...and it made room for my previous post of CJB!

Story time....please hang in there with me....a while back Ro and I were looking at these little clocks from Bulova on line. They are $80 to $100. They are about 12 inches high. ok...fast forward....last week hubs said, while we are out, do you want to stop at Big Lots? I said I didn't need to...and yes, I really did say that. Well I walk in and stopped in my tracks. There was this little clock.

Well, I was just carrying on about how I couldn't believe it...and how much they were...so, we bought one! Now, it still wasn't $5.00 mind you. Wish it was...but the price was less than half!

Well, I am going to take off the rest of the week from posting. Going to enjoy it with my hubs. I hope all of you have a safe and memory making July 4th celebrating this wonderful land we live in!
