Friday Flashback

What a FUN Thrifty Thursday party we had yesterday! SUCH wonderful eye candy....I really could've posted every single link again. LOL
But Here are a few featured participants in case you missed it.
Which incidentally, if you missed it...you REALLY MISSED it!
Soooooo many great contributors!
My thanks to everyone! I hope you will visit yesterday's Thrifty Thursday post for a complete list of contributors.

I LOVE antiqued mirrors. Salvage Savvy has a gorgeous mirror that she "antiqued" and gave lots of character. She explains the process....

Junkin Junky had crates of inspiration. I had problems adding her pic to my page, but you can go and look for yourself....And don't think for a minute she found them at a thrifty price.....she MADE them! And she explains how!!!

And then there is Crafty Butt, showing her creative best side again with this table she whipped up in an hours time.....

Secret Pie Shoppe has my heart this week with this clever airmail curtain. Ingenious!

WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just love that one!

And finally...

I really want to brag over the bedroom at Conspicuous Style......

But all I can do is drool.
EYE CANDY alert!
Really....no words, just lust.
In the words of AC/DC, "To Those about to Rock, We Salute You!"
You rocked it!

To those of you who have been featured on Tales from Bloggeritaville's Thrifty Thursday/Flashback Friday, I hope you will take a button as a token of my appreciation.

...in fact I would be downright flattered if you did. Thanks to EVERYONE that linked up to Thrifty Thursday! It's not a party without you! YOU all inspire me!

And speaking of appreciation & inspiration, I want to thank my friend Beth of Unskinny Boppy for helping me with the button code. I LOVE having smart friends! Thanks Beth! I couldn't have done it without you. Obviously!

I truly appreciate you being so kind to explain the code and send it to me.

If you haven't visited Beth's blog, I suggest that you do. Beth is a wealth of inspiration and injects her inspiration with humor and love. LOVE Beth! (You MUST see what she did to her dining room cabinet: "Tramp Stamping")

I invite you to come and visit me at my Foodie blog, Plates and Places. Today I am sharing a recipe for Pastitsio!

Have a FABULOUS weekend, friends!

LIVE (fully)*LOVE (much)*LAUGH (allot)
(do this all this weekend....it does the soul a wealth of good!)

Sammy said...: Great links! Though I went to the air mail curtain and I don't think it's a shower curtain. I think it's just a regular curtain.; July 29, 2011 at 7:59 PM

Words of Wisdom

"Older and wiser voices can always help you find the right path, if you are only willing to listen."-Jimmy Buffett

Sea Joy
When I go down by the sandy shore,I can think of nothing I want moreThan to live by the booming blue seaAs the seagulls flutter round about me.
I can run around when the tide is outWith the wind and the sand and the sea all about,And the seagulls are swirling and diving for fish.Oh, to live by the sea is my only wish.
- Jacqueline Bouvier

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream." --- Mark Twain

The cure for anything is salt water---sweat, tears, or the sea. ~Isak Dinesen

I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength.Philippians 4:12,13 NIV

Live a good life and in the end it's not the years in the life, it's the life in the years.~ Abe Lincoln

Let your boat of life be light Packed with only what you need --A homely home and simple pleasures,One or two friends, worth the name,Someone to love and someone to love you,A cat, a dog, and a pipe or two,Enough to eat and enough to wear,And a little more than enough to drink...For thirst is a dangerous thing.
-- Jerome K Jeromefrom "Three Men in a Boat"

The love of God is like the ocean, you can see its beginnings but not its end.

"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent."
~Eleanor Roosevelt

"We can make our plans,But the LORD determinesour steps" Proverbs 16:9

"Let us not forget what is best remembered or may we not remember what is best forgotten."

"Fish and overnight guest stink after three days."
~plaque at Fish Camp Restaurant, Orange Beach, Alabama

"We are not human beings having a spiritual experience, we are spiritual beings having a human being experience."

"A friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future and accepts you today just the way you are."
Proverbs 27:17

The happiest people don't have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything they have. The richest person is not the one who has the most, but the one who needs the least.

Live simply. Love generously. Care Deeply. Speak Kindly. Leave the Rest to God.

Worry is a robber of time and energy. Take comfort within that God's power is what we truly need. He knows our needs before we can even ask for them.

If you worry, you didn't pray. If you prayed, don't worry. Faith is the ability to not panic.

Don't "find" a religion. "Find" your relationship with God.
~Bill Burgess

"Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great ones make you feel that you, too, can become great."-Mark Twain
