Some neat finds yesterday....

I came home from work yesterday and my hubby had brought home a milk crate and organized the top of the freezer which is beside the washer/dryer. I asked him if he could get more (they came from his work). It turns out they get products in them and the supplier does not want them back. He has instructions to bring me more tomorrow. These are going to be great to organize closet shelves and crafts. He says he has them in several colors as well. He has specific instructions on this and I even left a note with his keys so he doesn't forget. I need to check to see if our supply closet at Sunday School could use a few. 

I stopped at a yard sale yesterday and found this cute little creamer pitcher. I don't really collect miniature pitchers, but it turns out this is my third one I've bought so maybe I do collect them after all. For .25 cents I couldn't pass it up. The lady said it was an antique but I don't know. I just know I fell in love with it. 

Growing up, Mom had a couple of these vases and I remember her changing the flowers in them every season. I see them in antique stores sometimes for $12-$15. I always want one for nostalgia sake but not at that price. Yesterday, this one was setting on the yard sale table for just a quarter. Oh, yeah. It came home with me. 

As a matter of fact, I had some flowers that hubby had decorated my Easter basket with over 20 years ago. I have used some of them over the years and the basket is being used for something else, but I never could part with the flowers for sentimental reasons. So now the vintage vase holds some of the flowers he got me years ago. I love the look of them on my little shelf in my office.

I found this little tray for just $1.00. I have this great idea for my table on the front porch. You'll have to wait and see what I'm doing with it, but I think it will be really cute.

It will also come in handy on Patriotic holidays. The inside bottom is just adorable. 

Our Vacation Bible School starts at church Sunday night. It's the Colossal Coaster World so everything is with a carnival theme. I am helping with carnival games for the 2-5 year olds. My daughter had a great idea to do a photo shoot on one night and print the pics the next day so the kids can take them home at the end of the week with all their crafts. She had me make some photo props. I'm not done yet, but here are a few. Thanks to Accent the Party for the free printables. Here's just a few of what the kids can choose from.

I mentioned the photo shoot to a dear friend of mine who helps out at VBS as well. She is very talented and crafty. She had the lemonade stand that she had made last year for a photo shoot with her kids.

Next thing I know, it is redecorated as a ticket booth. It's now on loan to VBS for our photo shoot this week. The kids are going to love it. She is so talented and I am so thankful for all her hard work in helping out with this. 

Heading out today to look at some flowers. Hope everyone enjoys their weekend.
