Weaving Gods Word Into Our Lives: Recent Thrifting....

Recent Thrifting....

Well we are very fortunate to have a very nice Thrift Store in town that is very clean and well cared for and obviously there are also many cheerful givers in town and happy employees because they never seem to have dirty, broken and unusable things for sale like we have seen in some of our more recent trips to thrift stores. Which can be a real disappointment when treasure hunting. With all of our moving many things of course go missing as you can imagine. And in this recent move it seems like shelves and decorating things are the ones that have disappeared so when ever we are in town we pop into the Goodwill to see what is in and we have been finding some wonderful little treasures for decorating our home with as well as great books to add to our library.

Here are some snapshots of our recent treasure hunting...

A beautiful antique french dresser set!!

A pretty framed picture for Anna's bedroom...

Some interesting looking metal chairs....

A wonderful bible story book from 1904.

and a pretty topiary print in a nice frame for the master bath.....

and a nice sturdy wood shelf for all my bears....

and Noah found this very nice leather vest which he pretty much never takes off but he is 13 now so really what can I say every once in a while when he's not looking I can squirt it with some febreeze hehe!!

And then I wanted to share with you some pictures of my hair, I know I know real exciting stuff there but for me it sure is! It is finally growing or at least seems like it is. The well water here is amazing and has been such a blessing my hair has been very soft and shiny I am telling you I should bottle this water and sell it!! And although it seems a little thiner than I remember and there seems to be a few more greys poking out I am feeling very thankful that I am starting the new year with some pretty tresses. And a special thankyou to my wonderful husband who has been graciously giving me a trim as needed since I have been terrified to go to a hairdresser and have them take to much off.

I am happy to report I am being good and taking it easy and resting, catching up on movies with netflix and keeping my neck iced. But then of course I have a wonderful family taking good care of me also which makes it easy! And hopefully in a few days time I will be good as new. Although my husband has been cooking dinner and he is a very good cook so who knows how long it might take for me to recover in reality it could be weeks hehehe :)
Have a Blessed Day ~Heather

Dear Heather,

Oooh, such treasures, indeed! Your bears look very happily installed, and Noah is pleased as punch with his vest, I can tell :) . My brother used to wear the same jacket every day till it fell apart~such memories!

Your hair really does look nice~Our well water is hard as can be, and we have to rinse with vinegar to get the soap out. I'll be buying some of yours, if you do sell it :) .

Love,

Marqueta

Good to know you are recuperating. I really like your hair; it looks very healthy and shiny. The hair cut is very flattering. Adrian did a great job. I'm amazed at how much Anna resembles you! You both have beautiful color eyes! Excellent finds too.

Blessings,
