and picking up a few little goodies.
We did very well in finding great prices. Each item was less then $5. These Johnson Brothers dishes were $5 for 5 pieces.
"God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying.... for the former things are passed away." Revelation 21:4
This week I have said good bye to two women who have had a huge impact and influence on my life. On Tuesday evening, my dear Mother in Love took the hand of Jesus and left her earthly body to walk the streets of gold. She was one of the most giving and gracious ladies I have ever known. It has been a sorrowful tear filled few days, but we are in fact rejoicing in knowing that she is not in pain anymore and praising God that her faith has been made sight and that she is with her Savior.
Then on Thursday morning, my husband's aunt joined her sister in law as she too left us to reside with Jesus. And although we were not blood relatives, she stepped into my life at a time when I was grieving the sudden loss of my own mother. She has been a substitute mother, a grandmother to my children, a friend, a mentor, a beautiful example of how to love people wholly and unconditionally.
Few of us have the privilege of knowing one person in our lives who sets a course of integrity and honor and who fills you up with their unwavering love. I have been blessed to know and love two such women.

I don't think it is milk glass, but I've seen this kind before. It is shaped like it might belong to a mixing set. Nice size too. And only ONE dollar!
There were five of them, all taped together for, YES ONE dollar. And they all say Fire King on the bottom. Yipee!!!!

I am over the moon about the pink one. It did not have a price on it, so I put it back, then picked it up again, saw a worker and asked about the price. She went to the back, and I was thinking, yea, they are going to sock it to me. She came back and it was marked $1.99! Woo-Hoo, great for me!!! One of these days I am going to make a quilt with the vintage sheets I'm collecting and I'd LOVE to use the pink sheet for the backing :-)

So I just had to sit and enjoy them with a warm cuppa, and a small slice of sweetness.
Jesus said, "I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?" She said to him, "Yes Lord; I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming into the world." (John 11:25-27)
All of the dishes, glassware and service on the table except the salt and pepper (wedding gift) and the tea pot were found at thrift stores.
Grab and plate and pull up a chair. We'd love the company.
Our strawberry season is over, but the fields are still laid out so pretty.
I wanted to host a table that was giving honor to this special day.
I found the scripture china at Ross last year.
My sweet son gifted me with this beautiful clear glass tea pot and warmer for Christmas. He purchased the pot, warmer and some very delightful loose tea from Teavana.
Rejoice in the Lord, again I say REJOICE!
HE is Risen INDEED!
