G IS FOR:


a "Good Green Get"...

in thrifter slang, that is. 

Do you like to go 'sight seeing' in second-hand shops or thrift stores? 

I've become familiar with many different shops in our area and now know their 'special days' or 'colors-of-the-day' for 25-, 50- or 75%-off deals. 

This week's finds didn't disappoint my hopes for another good deal.  These were 1/2 priced and I KNEW right where they were going to sit once they were washed and dried.

What do you think I paid for these two tall vases? 


Each measures 14"





















They now flank the above-fireplace painting and I think they really help 'lead you into' the trail to see what's in the picture.
(my cost answer is in my comments below)

APRIL A-Z CHALLENGE

"C" is for: 
Cooing...calmly...Creator-fed

Puffy grey couples
sharing daily nourishment
Creator's providence








I love hearing the mourning doves while they're visiting on our deck searching for more food. 

Sometimes they're bathing in the little birdbath and then fluffing out their feathers while drying them in the sun.













What begins with a "c" on your back deck today?
