Well, I've done it again! I've pushed my blog to the side and let life take over. I have been reading everyone's posts (I actually read 300+ over the last few weeks- whew!), but haven't found the motivation to share my own words. Is it too late to say "Merry Christmas"- yes, it is. But, I'm right on time with a "Happy New Year" to all of you!
Before the Christmas decor comes down, here are a few pictures of my theme trees. I am such an ornament hoarder that I've had to put up multiple trees to display all my treasures. Mind you, this is not ALL my trees- just some of them. I admit it- I have a Christmas "problem."

Saying goodbye to summer vacation
It's been a busy past month (as evidenced by no post from me in 30 days). Our extended vacation included a trip to Ann Arbor (Michigan), Canada (Toronto and Montreal), The 1000 Islands (NY), Saratoga Racetrack (NY), and finally NJ for our "Jersey Shore" vacation. I came home with a Rubbermaid of thrifted treasures- which is still unopened and sitting on my dining room floor! No sooner did we arrive home, then it was back to school for my son and back to work for me. I can't wait to open that container and see what I bought. Maybe, this weekend....

How Funny is This?
There'a a fine line between a GARAGE sale and a GARBAGE sale! I bet we've been to alot of garbage sales in our search for treasures!

Thank you, Amy
A BIG thank you to Amy at www.sointovintage.blogspot.com for answering all the questions I had about selling treasures online vs. in a store. I appreciate Amy's willingness to help a "newbie" wrap her head about the pros and cons of the various options. If anyone has anything to share on this topic, I'm all ears- thanks!

Let's Play, "What's in the Box?"
I decided to go through one of the many boxes in my garage. I wonder what's in it? Let's check it out together!

Hiding in my Garage!
Despite the near 100 degree heat in the Midwest, I ventured into my too-cluttered garage to find some Pyrex treasures. So much fun to see these beauties again!

Pyrex Collective blogs
If you know any Pyrex (or hankies, pottery, Derby glasses, Christmas) fans, send them my way! I'm a social butterfly and I could use some more followers to "talk" to and exchange ideas, comments, and compliments! Thanks!!!

Flea Market Finds
My trip to the flea market was semi-successful. I arrived bright and early (before 8am) to avoid the predicted heat. By 9am, it was already sticky and the sun was intense. Unfortunately, my favorite vendor wasn't there. This seller sets up boxes and boxes and boxes of assorted stuff. You dig and dig, set aside your goodies, and get a one-price-for-all your treasures. Oh well, next month...
However, I did find 4 Derby glasses for $10- that's a good price! Hope your weekend was full of fun finds!

Pottery Pictures
I finally got my "rear in gear" and dug through 4 large boxes of pottery. It was like a treasure hunt! I re-discovered pottery that I bought months ago. Some pieces I will keep, others will be sold, and Goodwill will become the recipient of some not-so-great pieces.
Hope you enjoy looking at these pictures, as much as I enjoyed seeing the pottery again!
Keeping these:
