Back in August Karen and I had a private swap. I filled a basket with items I thought she could use to alter.
Well she surprised me by giving me back an antique album, but she did alter it and in MY COLORS!!
It is GORGEOUS!!
It is for photos of my girlfriends trip to South Carolina and Florida I am taking this spring. I am so thrilled with this album. I had it for years and never did anything with it.....
Well, it was a good day. Life is so wonderful....difficult, but wonderful! I hope you have a blessed Sunday! Talk to you again soon!
Joining Terri and Martha for Teacup Tuesday.

I'm just getting around to visiting the folks that visited me this week ... and I've been on both your sites. You hang in with TEAL ... I'm a 13 year survivor and while the battle is with me everyday ... I continue to be thankful for all those who supported ... and still support me. Believe in the power of prayer ... and know you are in mine. Thanks for sharing your great finds ... I'm crazy about doilies! You found some good ones!
Love those teacups! Especially the last green one! Gasp!
Are you going to paint the bench! I have started a collection of them by my bakers rack with my picnic basket on top. Love them!!! Am hoping to find several more old ones in Round Top.
I am so glad you like the photo album. I was worried when it started getting really thick but there was nothing else I could do so....what the heck! I had such a great time doing it for you! It calms me to create....and my life has been so hectic lately.
Boy did it rain here last night! It was awesome! I love it when it rains and we are in the coach...sigh.
HAGD! Me.
WOW I say bravo for your hubby taking you to the sale! Beautiful treasures.

I love the album, too! You will have fun filling it up with special memories.

Hi ceekay,
Your teacups are delightful & the doilies too, what bargains you found.
What a special gift the photo album is beautiful, a very loving gift.
You sure did hit the jack pot! Wow one dollar a tea cup...and 9 doilies for .50. I would not have passed it up either. I can see you had a fun day...
Have a sweet day and big hugs, Elizabeth
I really love that tea cup. Can't believe the price you paid.
Pretty dollies and sweet album.
Can't wait to see what pics you'll put in it.
Gloria asked us to pray for you...and so I am! With all my heart I pray the Lord gives you peace and strength and courage. I pray that your caregivers are conscientious and knowledgeable. I pray that you are completely healed and go on to live a looooong, meaningful life filled with LOVE

Your new teacups are absolutely gorgeous! You got such good deals. I love that little yellow bench! It's such fun to meet blog friends and spend time together. I will be meeting another one in a few weeks and perhaps another soon.

Hello Ceekay,
those are great finds. This tea cup with the fuits is really impressive, the fruits look truly naturally. And the doilies are a real bargain. What a lovely lace doilie Karen gifted you. This is truly pretty. As I see all those treats make you really happy. I love that.
Greetings, Johanna
Thanks for visiting my blog. I LOVE the two tea cups that you found ... and I love the great deal you got on them!!
what fun things you scored. i love the yellow bench. can't wait for weather to get better to go a yard saling!
oh gosh! what a great find! and deal too! teacups and lace just perfect! love love love them all!
Your cups are both gorgeous. I love the botanical pattern and all the gold on the first cup and the pretty colors on the second. What great thrifty finds. The doilies and bench are pretty too.
Your friend did a fabulous job on altering your album. It will be such a wonderful keepsake for your trip mementos.
Hi Ceekay Sweetie...
A beautiful share this morning. I love your teacup finds. How pretty they are. Even the little doilies are just gorgeous. Love those church rummage sales.
Your book is just gorgeous. Can't wait to hear all about your Spring trips and see the book filled with many memories to last a life time sweet friend. Karen has so many crafty ideas locked up in that mind of hers. If we could only pick that brain for an hour one day, what wonderful creations we would find. I am so happy that you all found each other.
Have a glorious day sweet friend. Many hugs, Sherry
Ceekay, what amazing treasures you found! I love church sales - people dig things out of their homes that haven't seen the light of day in years, and they are usually so reasonably priced. Those tea cups are gorgeous! What a steal to get that bench and those doilies for 50 cents! I love your "trip album" that Karen made for you. How special that is. laurie
It is GORGEOUS! Lucky girl!

Wow! I love the tea cups. They are beautiful and the album, wow! How lucky are you? Have a wonderful week. Blessings, Martha
