Good Morning Friend
There has been a lot going on around here lately. Let me start with the real important stuff. I know all of you are awaiting the weekly weigh in results. 1.4 lbs I KNOW I KNOW, BIG DEAL RIGHT? Well I was hoping for a bigger loss than 1 FRECKEN POUND, but I guess it’s better than gaining a pound. When I was doing Weight Watchers three years ago I could drop 5 lbs the first week alone. Now that I’m 43 years old it’s so much harder. I’m not giving up I’ll do better this week , I’m going to bump up the walking pace and drink a little more water. I do feel much better now that I am walking regularly and not so dehydrated.

On another note
Sunday was the DINE BY DESIGN for A LADY'S NIGHT OUT that Kim invited me to attend. Let me just say WAY TO GO KIM! There where about 9 tables all beautifully decorated by their designer. I forgot to take pictures of the other tables after seeing Kim’s fabulous Shabby Chic place setting. I couldn't’t have added or taken anything from the table to make it any more beautiful. Kim hand made sweet slip covers out of vintage sheets and chenille bed spreads to make those cold ugly metal folding chairs girly. We enjoyed a lovely delouse meal served to us by the hostess's husband. HOW NICE the evening was felled with good conversation and good food.
Here are some pictures for your enjoyment
Each guest received a vintage salt and pepper set and their name place setting as a gift from the hostess
HOW SWEET
Thank You Kim

Sweet Endings

Wishing you a charmed day , Love Julia

Friday Finds

What a great day today has been
I got up early and painted my happy face on while
sipping on my creamy morning coffee
The Friday Girls where full of morning smiles and laughter
Our first stop was the bank of course
then La Grange here come
On the way we found a pretty good garage sale
Tamaria got a good deal on a clothes dryer
No more hanging clothes over the shower curtians on rainy days
A few more garage sales and after that it was time for Second Chance
My total bill was 19.50
here are some pictures of my treasures
I just love the Shalimar purfume bottle
its very heavey and still has a little purfume left in it
I plan on Shabby Chicing our travel trailer when we move
I think these paper lanterns will add a cute touch




My favorit find for today

became to be mine

however some things are just funnyer if your there when they happen

let me just say Thank you Tamaria

PRETTY PRETTY PRETTY PRETTY PRETTY PRETTY


Peek of Boo



We stopped in Fayetteville where we found a few more treasures
Lunch was at The Oaks in Oldenburg
and Yes
we went back to Second Chance
for the second chance of the day
We just cant get enough of that place



On a different note:

I have started Weight Watchers to help me get back into my swim suit figure. hehehehe Positive thinking right!! I’m just going to lay it out their so I can be accountable to the whole blogging world. I weighed in at 168.2 on Monday. My short term goal is to lose 10 lbs before the Seniors graduation. I will post every Tuesday with my progress. Last nights meal was really yummy and every low in points. Here are pictures of my tasty dinner.

Pan fryed salmon and grilled asparagus

Homemade shrimp cocktail

The beautiful china is from the sale in Warrenton. There are place settings for 12 for only 35.00 and they where boxed in two wooden Del Monte boxes that are worth 35.00 each. Lucky me!!! I hope you have a charmed week end and happy hunting

Hi Girlfriends
This has been a very full week for me and mine
After returning from the coast on Sunday I had a little cleaning and straighten
to do around the house because the Senior was home alone this week end.
Monday the Friday Girls headed for the Warrenton Spring Antique Show
What a Day!!!
We had a wonderful time shopping all day
of course we didn’t get to see half of what there is to see at the show
So we decided to come back on Wednesday to pick up where we left off
Here are some pictures of what we saw on our Wednesday outing
I forgot my camera on Monday
so please check out Kim’s Blog for pictures of Monday
Us girls have to look out for one another
