Freebie Friday

So this week our youngest son dropped by. He had a bag in his hand and gently pulled this beauty out. He said his mother in law was at work and they were going through Christmas Decorations and getting rid of stuff and when they were getting rid of this - she thought of me. I love nativity scenes. I love smaller ones that are unique. 

This by its self was great and I thought it was so pretty. But then he said that is not all. And he opened it up and all these small pieces that go with the nativity scene were inside! How sweet is that!?! 

So the lady who runs my favorite little thrift store in a town nearby - has covid and so the thrift store has been closed for a couple of weeks. Hopefully they will be opened back up soon. I miss it. 

Thanks to the thoughtfulness of my son's mother-in-law - I have a beautiful gift to share for Freebie Friday!! 

Hope you all are staying well!! :O) 

In the Garden

 This week the sun came out and the temps made it back into the 60's and 70's and so I spent some great time in the garden. I also opened up the gates and let the chickens in for a day or 2. They loved the time they spent in my garden! I can't wait to share more of what is going on in my garden. 

Good Advice For Us ALL

We have actually had some winter weather this week. We had a couple of pretty cold days! I decided it was a good time to make myself some tea. I loved the message on my tea bag: 

"Let your energy be used to build, not destroy."

This is good advice for us all! Be kind, There is enough ugliness in our world these days. So let us use our energy to build. :O) 

My Best Deal

This week I ventured to a Goodwill further away that I have not been to for probably a year or more. It is a smaller store- but ever so often i find great things there. 

This week I was looking through baby clothes- since we have a new grandson and I found a great deal. 
Yes~ It will probably be 8 months or more before this will be used - but you just can't pass up a good deal when you come across it- even if it won't be used for a while. 

I have tried to look up what this retails for - but can't seem to find it. Don't have any other name for it other than it is Little Tyke. 

But no matter, I know that the $4.99 that I paid for it was an awesome deal! I can't wait for the little grandsons to be able to play on this!! 

Have you found any good deals lately? I would love to hear about it! :O) 

 

CH 2-1 Lessons on Faith Part 1 LESSONS ON FAITH – Audiobook

Freebie Friday

 So this week I tried to go to the favorite little thrift store nearby- however it was closed and would not open back up till Sunday - so sorry there is nothing to report on in my Freebie Friday. But I thought I would get on here and share a great deal I found this week  - just in case you have a Winco near your house - you could check it out. 

Winco is where I buy my olives from. My grandchildren love them and I try to open a can every time our family gets together. Winco is where I have found my best prices for them. 99 cents is the deal I usually get- which compared to other stores is an awesome deal! But a couple of days ago I went and found olives for 78 cent - I bought a whole box of 12 - now I am thinking I probably should have bought 2! Oh well. 

I also found 7.25oz cans of shaving cream - 98 cents and 1 pound blocks of yeast - $1.00.  Those are great deal!! 

Nothing free this week - but I did get some great deals - so it was still a great week. Plus the prices on their paper towels and toilet paper are great as well. I am so thankful that I have one within about a 30 minute drive or so!! :O)
