A Steal

"It's really old!" was the man's reply as I chased him down in GW! 

I saw him coming out of the back doors with it on his dolly. Could it be? I literally just about jumped up and down trying to get my husbands attention to get there. Pronto. 

No? Fine, I'll stalk him myself. And, I did! LOL! I turned and was right behind him peeking over his blue shirted shoulder trying to find the price tag! 

"Where do I fit this?" he mumbled to himself. By this time, Wes finally got my vibes and came up the aisle. 

"I might want it!" 

Price tag...CHA-CHING!!!!! 

Wes-"How much?"

He didn't act overly excited, but my stomach was crawling with butterflies!! I've been wanting one of these forever! Secretly, he was excited, but I think he was acting nonchalant so they wouldn't jack the price up when they found out I was getting it for at least $250 less than I normally see them. 

They marked it an "old dresser."

(This house has seriously crookeditess!!! Thus, the props).

How about a pie safe for $49.99????? Can I get a WHOO-HOO?!?!? 

True it doesn't have the tin on the doors, but for me...it's perfect! 

Add some fall decor...

...and the corner in my dining room has been filled!

(With exactly what I had wanted, but knew there was no way I would be able to afford one. Isn't God good?)

I'm thinking that I may add material behind the doors so I can hide junk in there. Not sure yet...

So, are you tired of seeing these sweater candle holders yet? Seriously, it took all of 5 minutes to make all of these! Soooooo easy peasy! And, cheap! :)

How cute is this Dollar Tree pumpkin?

Behind the table is a sneak peek of my GW steal!

Remembering...

"Home of the free because of the brave..we will never forget".

Thievery

So, I practically "stole" something from the GW today...a new treasure came home with us!!!! You'll just have to wait and see! (Mainly because I'm too tired to get my lazy bones up to take a picture).

Wonder if consistent peeking over the worker's shoulder scared him a little bit? Trust me...I was a hound sticking to the scent! HA!

These two can get into all kinds of mischief together! Don't let their angelic expressions fool you.

My Hubby

I just love this man!!! I can't even begin to describe to you all the things he does for me and our family! He is such a giving, patient, caring man. I could count on my fingers how many times I've heard him complain. He is a hard worker, going to work and coming home to put in more hours to help ease our financial load. He has to give up many of his hobbies and I've not once heard him say he regrets it! He's told me before that he could be making "big bucks" if he had stayed at his job, but made the decision to go to Bible school. He helps the elderly at church with jobs they aren't able to do, he helps his wife with the mundane everyday chores, he helps with his daughter more than most men would dare to tackle. He's my cheerleader, my supporter, my shoulder to cry on. He's my bestest friend on earth and I can whine, tease, and critique him without him throwing back about what I need to work on.

Don't get me wrong...he's not a saint!! ;) (He is a man)! However, I'm wiping back tears to think of how blessed I am that God has chosen us to live our lives together. It takes a special guy to put up with me and I'm glad it's Wesley!
