Thanks so much for your ...Happy Thanksgiving Laurie<br />Thanks so much for your lovely comments my way... Sad my vacation was so short but lots of photos to remind me and prompt me on the next...<br /><br />I love shopping goodwill [or St Vincent's de Paul].. I also tend to deposit their way too.... But I did just as you did recently and went in search of picture frames for repurposing...I usually find lots of lovely silver ware there also ... and can become dangerous once you know where to find the goodies..<br /><br />Love your new chalkboard.. If I ever get around to doing mine I'll show you.!! hehe.. Have a great weekend.. and thanks again.. xxx JulieJulie@beingRUBYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10424920655462727594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9197215137790765660.post-63423285203064529042010-11-27T12:52:53.344-05:002010-11-27T12:52:53.344-05:00Love the chalkboard...I've been contemplating ...Love the chalkboard...I've been contemplating if I should paint a wall in my kitchen with chalkboard paint...and I'm lov'in the white dishes...you can never have too many white dishes.Faded Plainshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10728647724999033849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9197215137790765660.post-80424390326985881922010-11-27T00:43:12.526-05:002010-11-27T00:43:12.526-05:00Super cute Chalkboard!

Where ya been living-under a Salvation Army truck? Yep-if you can get past the trash there are a few treasures to be found. You see that picture that you thought was TRASH? Yeah! Yeah? That one with the cute little bears & rabbits on it? Yeah? Well, just so you know-I had one of those hanging in Mimi's room...oh..let's say about 25-30 years ago...it was kinda CUTE way back then;>) <br />Today? Not so much! Now...I am NOT mad at you for making fun of something that I thought was CUTE 30 years ago..I'm just saying that I am gonna be crying at my desk all day;>) Then I smiled because I realized that YOU, my friend from the other side of Lake Michigan, could be HOLDING the very same UGLY PICTURE I donated to Goodwill many, many years ago...and perhaps it has had an owner or two in between...just think of the history~<br /><br />That being said- You did a great job on making it into a blackboard..AND...I love your white gravy boat and saucers-those are DEFINITELY not mine-I wouldn't have given them up!<br /><br />Hugs- Happy Thanksgiving Eve!
