Being the good husband that he his (all of my training has certainly paid off), he called me and told me about it and said I should go. Intrigued, I got dressed and went to the sale. The first thing that caught my eye was a vintage, horse feed sack, and no, I don't have horses just in case you were wondering, haha. I liked the the leather and heavy canvas combination, was in mint condition and for $3.00, I had to have it.<br /></div><br /><br /><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG5dnUIJUqm8JB9kvqSZVhOMOdz3qyQ0FRvAdTV2qAplVihS7eTiR3NYvJEcBf_GMXEjQoXXg5CkoRZSbHkyZwaEoVPh1R4a0swDEf01B4KCUTF85pInFT864dyJlkfnMtwiNKUsvfisQL/s1600-h/DSC02870_4783_edited-1.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 158px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401496515732627698" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG5dnUIJUqm8JB9kvqSZVhOMOdz3qyQ0FRvAdTV2qAplVihS7eTiR3NYvJEcBf_GMXEjQoXXg5CkoRZSbHkyZwaEoVPh1R4a0swDEf01B4KCUTF85pInFT864dyJlkfnMtwiNKUsvfisQL/s400/DSC02870_4783_edited-1.jpg" /></a><br />I came home and knew exactly what I was going to do with it.</p><br /><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiif6BJovwTU9Er1r8FXaHEdrXClCeAPOzH_QrP9cTAuGOnnkrJq1ve0FunsYGeGeG0zcsS01iJjAcmqfRLT_xHOemEBbmbTiiWjrVTt43Sf_E9IiL_HJuOEF63DXXQCPLlCulYzhHidKn/s1600-h/DSC02871_4784_edited-1.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 297px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401496969468543218" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiif6BJovwTU9Er1r8FXaHEdrXClCeAPOzH_QrP9cTAuGOnnkrJq1ve0FunsYGeGeG0zcsS01iJjAcmqfRLT_xHOemEBbmbTiiWjrVTt43Sf_E9IiL_HJuOEF63DXXQCPLlCulYzhHidKn/s400/DSC02871_4784_edited-1.jpg" /></a> I had some left over autumn flower stems </p><br /><br /><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj04K0T2Z34wbTBMerRbRQHM4VE34mhpWri6EcY32GZDjH9XWle8d-oeCw2JzJrppKZySLVqRGtfnt3ehVXbGmtObVAP1C8gm6SM9cBSX6y8lTOwgRqJVvVkFLh8I7clSXaoCjhPd-WMrxD/s1600-h/DSC02876_4789.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401497694332080802" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj04K0T2Z34wbTBMerRbRQHM4VE34mhpWri6EcY32GZDjH9XWle8d-oeCw2JzJrppKZySLVqRGtfnt3ehVXbGmtObVAP1C8gm6SM9cBSX6y8lTOwgRqJVvVkFLh8I7clSXaoCjhPd-WMrxD/s400/DSC02876_4789.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihLu1xZhd5rrOqyA6faC7CK2_jMRaPNkHArt2q59kobCjoNzGh-oYE9VNLxlThuV8RyElneGCm0elSPIHEvxzoVLpH9C0X7EXjCFHr-ubl21CwMSZiIM2kN_LVEcFrJWnjoJI7J7Pa39yR/s1600-h/DSC02875_4788.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401497895912213058" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihLu1xZhd5rrOqyA6faC7CK2_jMRaPNkHArt2q59kobCjoNzGh-oYE9VNLxlThuV8RyElneGCm0elSPIHEvxzoVLpH9C0X7EXjCFHr-ubl21CwMSZiIM2kN_LVEcFrJWnjoJI7J7Pa39yR/s400/DSC02875_4788.jpg" /></a>and decided to create a front door decoration, kinda like a wreath but without the wreath, make sense?

<br />
<br /><p align="center">
<br />As the weather cools down to the mid 80's, we start coming out of our air conditioned houses to enjoy the outdoors, to feel and enjoy the nice fall weather. When fall arrives here, a lot of outdoor activities take place such as outdoor concerts, musical plays in the park, walk a thons, bike races, marathons and lots of community sales, garage sales, and parking lot sales. </p>
<br />
<br /><p align="center">
<br />Last weekend, my mom and I went to our favorite parking lot sale, it's held twice a year and it's one that we don't want to miss. On Saturday morning, my mom meet me at my house bright and early and off we went to do some serious shopping, with our flea market shopping cart in tow.</p>
<br /><p align="center">The following pictures are just some of the things that came home with me</p>

<br />Our shopping cart was overflowing with vintage goodies. I had to stuff a few things in my pants pockets, that how loaded down we were, seriously! Not everything was photographed, like all the Christmas decorations we bought (I'll save that for another post). I would had taked a picture of the over stuffed, overflowing shopping cart however the camera was at the bottom of the cart!

The front door gets a lot of use and every night since the weather has been cooler, my husband and I have been going on a walk/run (ok, we do more walking than running for now). When we leave for our walk/run, we leave the house through the front door and my husband hasn't even noticed that something is above the front door. When he finally realizes it, he'll say, hey Janice, when did you get that? I'll tell him how long it's been there and he'll disagree with me, insisting that I must have "just" put it there, tooo funny, he makes me laugh!!</p><p align="center">So, what hangs above your doors, I'd love to know.</p><p align="center">Have a fabulous weekend, Janice

So, I placed the white pumpkins on the dinner plates and well, they just looked to small! I walked around the house holding these pumpkins, hoping for a decorating idea to pop into my head. Here's what I did.</div><div align="center">

These are on one side of the foyer table.

So fast and simple to do. I secured the lace to the pumpkin with a straight pin and glued the earring to the lace. When I take my fall decorations down, I will simply take the lace and earring off the pumpkin and use for something else.

They were having their annual event called "Art in the Park" where the cities park is filled with vendors selling their one of kind art pieces. We went to Boulder City not to really see the art but to visit the antique stores that have their sidewalk sales just for this event.

Well it's a photo I took while my son and I were in North Carolina. It's a mural that was painted on a side of a building. I took a double take when I first saw it, made a U-turn as fast as I could and whipped into the parking lot to snap a few photos, to show all my blogger friends.
<br /></div></div><a class="separator" style="CLEAR: both; TEXT-ALIGN: center" href="http://www.blogger.com/" div=""></a>
<br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center">
<br />One thing I discovered in Cary, North Carolina, there are no emergency lanes, or no where to pull over like a shoulder on the road, nope, didn't see one as I drove past darling , pretty as could be houses. I won't even talk about when we went to Duke <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">University</span>, couldn't find a parking anywhere or the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">University</span> of North Carolina, same thing, NO parking spaces, no where to pull over to walk the campus or to take pictures. You see, my son Michael who is 13 years old, likes to look at colleges, we do <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">alot</span> of travelling to different states for baseball. Whatever state we are in, we find the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">university</span> to take a look, to do a little sightseeing around the campus.
<br /></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center">
<br /></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center">So, the only pictures I have to share with you are the murals from two different buildings. I'm sure if these darling houses were built after Blogs were discovered, I'm sure that along the roads there would be little turn off lanes for picture taking with a sign that would read something like this: "Turn off lane for taking pictures for blogs."

<br /></div></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center">Since I've been back from my trip, I have come to the realization that I need to slow down while driving. I've always been the dare devil on the road, driving just a little faster than the posted speed limit....just a little. The other day on my way to work at 5:30am, listening to my favorite radio channel, I looked in my rear view mirror and what do I see, yep, flashing red lights. I pull over to the right so the police car can pass me and get to where they were going but the car pulled up right behind me. Humm, I thought, what did I do? The nice police officer informed me that I was driving way faster that the posted speed limit. He informed me what the posted speed limit was and told me how fast I was going. Only 11 miles over the posted speed limit (I thought to myself, why is that considered speeding). We had a lovely conversation and I drove away without a ticket, yippeee! I considered my self lucky and since then, I'm driving the posted speed limit, well, most of the time.

<br /></div><div class="separator" style="CLEAR: both; TEXT-ALIGN: center">I seem to drive just a little over the posted speed limit on my way home from work. So before I got off of work today, my son called and asked if I could stop off at Starbucks and get him and my youngest son their favorite frappuccino drink. I get their Starbucks request, come home for about 15 minutes, then it's off to physical therapy for my son. After physical therapy, went home and by now my husband is home from work. I'm home for about another 15 minutes and then my husband and I go grocery shopping.

</div><em><span style="font-size: large;">Michael and I had a great time while we were in Cary, North Carolina. As stated in a previous post, we were there as my son Michael who is 13 years old was trying out for the USA International Baseball team. This was the second round of tryouts. This was more of a showcase than a tournament. Sure the kids played baseball games, each team played four games. The games were played so the scouts could see the abilities of each player. The ages were 14-17 years old, my son being one of the youngest kids there</span>.</em><br />

Michael's name was on the scouts list as one of the players to watch out for. Michael did what he knows best and played his best up until the last game that was played on Sunday. Michael was in the bull pen warming up with his pitching as he was going to pitch the next inning. As he was in the bull pen, he "tweeked" his back and could barley move. He told his coach what happened and Michael was pulled from the pitching position (the scouts wanted to see him pitch one more time). Michael was next to bat and he ripped the ball up the</em> <em>gap between first and second base. He could barley run up the first base line to get to first base, he was in severve pain! He got out at first and everyone could see the awful pain he was in even the scouts.</em></span><br />

</div><em><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Michael was having back pain before we left, he's had it for about two months now. We've been to his sports docotor and many tests have been run to figure out what is causing his back to "tweek" (it stiffens up). All the tests have come back negative. He's been going to physical therapy 2 times a week and doing his exercises at home. His doctor said he may be going through another growth spurt which could be causing the problem (humm, not to sure I agree with that).</span></em><br />

</div><span style="font-size: large;"><em>My husband received a call today from the one of the coaches who will be coaching the USA International Team. He said that he was really impressed with Michael and was one of the best kids out there in the showcase and Michael was their number one pick but due to the fact that Michael had gotten injuried, he is the first alternate on the team. Which means he didn't make the team per say. Each team consists of 24 players. If one of the kids backs out then Michael will be on the team. </em></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><em>I have to say, that my husband and I are not upset about the news. We would rather concentrate on Michael getting better than him playing on the baseball team (although Michael doesn't see it that way). Plus if Michael made the team he would have to miss 10 days of school, yep 10 days, that's a whole lot of school to miss!! Michael is still young and has a long baseball career ahead of him. He has been gifted with the most amazing talent and athletic ability, these things can't be taught, you either have it or you don't, and Michael certainly has it!!</em></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><em>Thank-you all for reading as I bragged about my son, we are so proud of all his accomplishments and love him to pieces!!</em></span><br />

Yep, My blog got a new look and I absolutely LOVE it! I owe it all to my creative, fabulous friend Kristen. I swear, there's nothing that girl can't do!</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">Let's see, just for starters, she's an author(not yet published, it's only a matter of time before that happens), a singer, an inventor, a mother of two children, a wife, works full time (we sit right next to each other at work), a Harley Davidson motor cycle rider, the ultimate, loyal Pittsburgh Steelers fan. Kristen also owns and operates several power tools, and built an entertainment center for her lovely home, she built it in a day! This is just a very small listing of her many talents.</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">Kristen has impeccable taste in interior design, you should see her beautiful home. Nothing is ever out of place and you will never find any dust settling on her furniture, trust me on this, I've looked, :)).</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">Kristen's new adventure is creating amazing designs for blogs and has a new blog called <a href="http://glamjunkgirl.blogspot.com/"><span style="color:#cc33cc;"><strong>glamjunkgirl</strong></span></a>. Looking for a new, unique design for your blog, visit Kristen's blog, she's even opened her own etsy store where you can find several already made blog designs. If your looking for a one of kind design, Kristen can help you with that as well as there is no limit to her creative ability.</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">My son and I got home, early this morning.

This is the second round of tryouts for the USA Baseball National Team. I won't go into all the details just in case your not a baseball or sports fan. But this is huge and a honor that my son made the first tryout which was in California. If he makes this second round of tryouts, then we'll be off to Tampa Florida for the third and final round which will be held the second week in October. If Michael makes the third round then they will immediately fly to Ecuador, South America where they will play baseball for 10 days, playing against different teams. Not every baseball player can tryout for this team. You have to be the best of the best and be invited to attend.</span></div>

Don't count on these vintage rhinestone clocks to tell you the time cause their times are different. Their hands never move, they display the exact same time every time. Sure, it's 1:25 somewhere, 2:06, somewhere else, 10:16 in another place, another country.

I'm so glad you were able to stop by to see the 9<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">th</span> segment.

<br /><p align="center"></a></p><span style="font-size:130%;">I bought this many years ago from one of my favorite sellers on <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">ebay</span>. She always had the most amazing items and I was a regular buyer from her.
<br />

<br /><p align="center"></a><span style="font-size:130%;">When I saw this chair she had listed, I knew right away I would be the new owner! Lots of people were bidding on this chair (can you blame them?). With a minute left before the auction ended, I placed my final bid. Anticipation was building, I was nervous, doubtful, unsure if my last bid was high enough to win the auction.

<br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Last Sunday, I was trying to build my courage to clean my oldest son's bedroom, it was a wreck!! I walked into his room looked around, walked out, shaking my head, not ready to commit myself for the task.
<br />
<br />I got onto the computer and looked at Craigs List, looked in the furniture section. An ad appeared for an Ikea white slipped covered sectional couch, I truly gasped, no kidding. I called the phone number that was listed on the ad and yes it was still available. My husband and I ran some errands and while doing so I was imagining how that white slipped covered sectional would look in our formal living room, or in the family room. I talked to my husband about the couch and we agreed to get it.</span></div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8E9RpEamrA2ch6912N_4iPdjjg6w6TENWXWs6Lk4ZtieWKphGTghA9zFMoucN7rGA8aftOmrncctMuN9RjwTRbY0aGEK9dYMIk9S8onugObGrAruEBVvNOiCknhCjASijzvy3b67ETyw/s1600-h/DSC02510_4223_edited-1.jpg"></div></a>

Yesterday, I called my sister Mary over for some advice (she lives across the street from me). We decided the sectional looked the best, the way you see it. I moved an old door that was in the foyer and moved it into the corner as I thought the corner needed something with height. I moved funtiure around, moved furniture out, cleared out china hutches, moved a china hutch in my bedroom, moved stuff in the garage.</span> <span style="font-size:130%;">My back was killing me from moving furniture and the only cure I know for a backache is wine, yep, two big glasses</span> <span style="font-size:130%;">of wine will do the trick so I continued on.
