I am blessed by my son. Not just because he is my son, but because he shows that he cares for me through thoughtful things he does. His name is Charlie Kelly and he will be 30 years old this summer. He is a machinist by trade and lives and breathes guns. He would love to be a gunsmith someday.

| A cool feed sack $4, and a yard of denim stripe fabric $1 |
 |
| Look at the neat stitching! |
 |
| An old pie tin 50¢ and some old wooden spools, 25¢ |
 |
| Window hanging above the swing in the back of the property. See the five acre field then the ranch housing addition to our west. It looks closer here than it really is. |
 |
| The south burm leading to the swing area that divides the north from the south burm. |
 |
| See the old gates? They hold back the ornamental grasses as they get big and tend to fall on the plants in front. This solution works well and adds charm to the space. |
 |
| Looking north at the second large burm. |
 |
| A bubbler fountain we built off the patio in front of the rock wall. |
 |
| Old porch pillar with weather vane in the gardens. Six are in the house, the seventh one is here in the garden...no more room in the house. |
 |
| The back swing. It always feels 10 degrees cooler here under the big oak tree. |
 |
| This park bench to the south side surrounded by sedum. |
 |
| I built this dry creek bed and the bridge all by myself...surprised the Hubby! |
 |
| This dry creek bed leads the rain water away from the patio. |
 |
| Looking to the north at the large north burm in the back. |
 |
| Our tiny little vegetable garden is big enough for two tomato plants, zinnias and a yellow squash plant. We go to the farmers market for all other veggies. |
 |
| Looking out a bedroom upper story window to the south west facing burm and the field. |
 |
| See how the plants have gotten bigger but the gate keeps the ornamental grass off them? |
 |
| Looking south across the two large burms at the very back of our property. |
 |
| Looking north across the two large burms at the very back of our property. |
 |
| None of these burms and flower beds were here when we bought the house. Just flat boring grass. We have done a great deal of landscaping to bring interest to the yard! |
 |
| A $7 table. This will be sold at the antique store. |
 |
| A $2 very old and very cool genuine cowhide leather suitcase that I was going to sell in my booth, but Hubby loves it, so I guess we are keeping it! |
 |
| Look at the inside! Very interesting. |
 |
| Now this little $5 table grabbed my attention right away. Can you see it painted in MacKenzie Childs style...I can and I will. |
 |
| Here are the cute legs on this adorable table complete with all the dirt and grime that came with it. |
 |
| A 25¢ scarf, two 10¢ glass bowls for my garden art project and a sweet bunny cookie cutter. |
 |
| DEAL OF THE DAY! Brand new BareMinerals foundation in my color, regularly $17.99 each, I paid 25¢ each for the six of them!!!!! |
 |
| An vintage enamelware bowl, $1. I will sell in my booth. |
 |
| A nearly new Hoover Vac! |
 |
| Two cute canisters, $1. |
 |
| She has been wanting a water purifier, this one was only $1 with a new unused filter. And coasters to keep her from ruining the tables that I painted for her. Uhhh, Hubby accidentally dropped ALL of the coasters in the garage BEFORE I was able to give them to our daughter. None survived the crash! |
