Candlelit Dinner

 

It was fun to set this table and a lot more fun to enjoy most of our family around it for a belated birthday dinner. I wanted it sparkly. After I lit all the candles Addy and JJ wanted the other lights off so we could just have the candles give us light. We had a wonderful candlelit dinner.

Monday got away from me because of some further work Greg and our son had to do on our Water Heater. They had to empty the water tank and replace the elements which were in horrible shape. New ones are in so we should be good for a few years or at least we hope for that. Our grands were here during the work on the tank and they kept me very busy. Hoping for a quiet day today so I can catch up!

Hope your week has started well.

Today’s Thrifty Treasures ~ Rose Bowl +

Rhoda at Southern Hospitality is hosting Today’s Thrifty Treasures again this week. Things are winding down for this weekly meme. It’s always fun to see the great bargains that blog thrifty shoppers find! Check it out by clicking over to Southern Hospitality.

Dear and I went to the Rose Bowl Flea Market a couple Sundays ago and I came away with 2 small purchases. I bought a glass bell dome/cloche for $10.00 and a wired something or another for $5.00. When I got the cloche home I was trying to figure out what to display under it and Dear put it over my Gin and Tonic. Hmmm. He thought he was pretty funny. As you can see I came up with something different to put under it. It will be changing again soon with something for Fall. This Saturday we stopped at a garage sale and I picked up this heavy cast iron candlesticks for $4.00.

Thanks Rhoda and happy hunting everyone!

Photobucket is holding all my photos that I stored on their site from 2007-2015 hostage replacing them with ugly grey and black boxes and asking for a large ransom to retrieve them. It is a slow process to go through all my posts deleting the ugly boxes.
