Spring is here in the valley of the sun once again... We have a lovely showing of desert daisies about town and the smell of orange blossoms in the air...

:: Let the thrifting begin ::

It's official I received an email from dottie angel (aka Tif Fussell). Thanks Tif !
I wrote her telling her that I would like to take on her challenge. She accepted so here we go. I do hope I can do her challenge justice. I have the love of shopping totally against me. Shoes, clothes, you name it. I am though this year realizing that I have to much stuff as I think we all do.It will be nice to cut back on purchases. This shall be fun because I do love to thrift as well. There are quite a few places to haunt here in Phoenix and it will be fun to visit them all with the hopes of some really fabulous finds.
So with that said let the shopping begin. I mean thrifting....
Actually yesterday I ran into a local thrift store and found these three finds.
It's Friday... How bout finding some of your own ?




:: A few weekend ideas ::




  1. If weather permits go for a bike ride
  2. Spend some time working out in the yard
  3. Paint an old stool a bright spring color (orange-turquoise)
  4. Watch a child's sporting event (soccer-baseball)
  5. Spend time with your children

Valley of the Sun ?


To a Zonie like myself it feels more like the Valley of the rain .... and the temp may be a measly 52 degrees outside. It feels more like 32 . Rarely do we get the chance to sip on HOT tea and cuddle up in a blanket and want to watch an old movie in the middle of the day (bummer wish that could have been me) LOL . It's been a week of wet weather here in the desert and lots of snow in the high country !
We have probably had more rain this week than we get in one entire year !
With a weeks worth of clouds, rain, wind and colder weather ... I was able to spend some time with my beloved sewing machine and hook . In an attempt to create some new items for my neglected shop ... Hopefully the weather will cooperate just long enough for me to snap a few photos, we will see (not much light for good photos right now).

Have a great weekend...

XOXO
