Blue Monday

BLUE MONDAY

FIRST POST











This is a platter that I bought at a thrift store.I

thought it was so pretty at the time even though

blue is not one of my favorite colors. It has roosters

on it, but the border is so pretty and over all

I think that it was a great buy. What do you think?

Today is my first time to try an enter the great things

offered. I am very new to blogging. I haven't

been able to drag the Blue Monday Button. But

I will keep on trying. Thanks for looking!!

A TASTE OF RED FOR THE TABLE

I have always kept my table set in the past,
but it has been a while since I have. The table
before I sprayed it was oak I just could not find
the right dishes for it.The black makes a big
difference in how dishes look on it. So for the
holidays it will be fun to get back in the habit.
The red just adds so much to it.Most of the time
I will mix and match dishes. I think a table looks
so creative with that type of setting.

My Son Plays A Part In Hurricane Gustav

LOOK AT THIS ALLIGATOR

THIS IS CHAD IN THE SWAMP
Hurricane Gustav swept through south Louisiana

and western Mississippi on Monday, September 1.
The category 2 hurricane caused widespread power

outages in both states. My son was one of the thirty

seven lineman initially went to Beauregard Electric in

DeRidder, La. Leaving there the crews ventured to

Jeff Davis Electric in Jennings La. The EMEPA crews

seeing numerous snakes and alligators while working

on lines and the right of way in swampy areas.

I just have to share pictures of my son Chad and the

guys that went with him. I know there is still

plenty of work to be done in Louisiana but I do

hope that our guys made a difference while they

were there.

More From Dirt Cheap!!

Runner and the flower arrangement are

both from Dirt Cheap. The candleholders are from

Southern Living.Beaded elephant is from a

friend's gift shop. Once again when you find

something at a good buy you can always find

a place for it.I just did.

Thrift Store Friday

The red pillow with the beaded trim I bought

from dirt cheap. It was one of those items

that you just know you can do something

with it because the price is right. The beads

are just all in place. But the zipper was another

story, it was broke so I just pulled it together

and used fabric glue. Now the only person

that knows that is you!! I really believe it

was worth the $5.00 that I paid for it

broke zipper and all. It always looks

like it was made for that special spot.
