RECENT LOCAL AUCTION SALE FINDS ~ Shoes Shoes and More Shoes To Sell On eBay

Just a week or so ago at one of the local auctions I found some women's shoes new or almost new in the box.  I have put them up for auction twice now and no sales. Right now I can list for free on eBay because we have a store. Once the free listings are over if not sold I will stick in my store.

Cute shoes just need the right buyers for them.

So that is a few things I have bough at our local auction house. Hope that your finds are profitable

Wordless Wednesday ~ Cake Makes Everything Better

Wordless Wednesday ( almost ) Cake make everything better.  No matter how the day is going a piece of cake with the girls can only make the day go better.  The year is 1951 when this party took place.  And I am sure the cake was homemade as was the frosting.

Happy Wordless Wednesday

Tidy Tip Tuesday ~ Do Away With Bathroom Trash Thrifty and Easy

For Tidy Tip Tuesday we are making the bathroom trash easier to get rid of.  Find a pretty small trash can for every bathroom you have.  Line these with a plastic trash bag from your grocery shopping trip and when it is almost full just remove and take out to the garbage.

I like to place a few empty garbage bags at the bottom of my trash can so I am ready to go after taking out the trash.

Monday Menu Plans ~ I Never Get Tired Of Our Chicken Soup

Boy time is just flying by. Spring is in the air and we are finally starting to get a bit warmer. Today was fifty degrees with the snow banks starting to melt into dirty gravel piles.

This picture is just a week ago last Saturday. Snow and more yukky snow.

Times are busy with going to auctions and church doings. We are cooking our chicken soup tonight and that will take care of us for a few meals. 

Wednesday we will go to church for a soup dinner and we will make a pot of pea soup to bring and share with others.

Lots of soup this week I guess. Fast easy and economical meals.  And with the smell of baking chicken tonight I am getting a craving for our chicken and rice dinner. May have to make that Friday or Saturday night.

Thanks for stopping by.. lets keep saving together and lets keep saving together. Grace

ORGANIZING AN ENTERTAINMENT AREA ~ UNREAD BOOKS

ORGANIZING AN ENTERTAINMENT AREA ~ CAST ASIDE UNREAD BOOKS

Are you like me, a lover of books.  I am forever picking up books as I visit used book stores, library sales or garage sales.  Pretty soon I have at least 30 to 40 books just waiting to be read.  On top of that some one is always giving me a book to borrow.  They think I will love it and now I want to read that one so I can return before I forget to give it back. 
Only keep the book you want to read on or near your night stand.  If you gather more books than you can possibly read how about donating some to your thrift store or library sale.

Thanks for stopping by for tip for the day.

TIDY TIP OF THE DAY ~ YOUR NIGHT STAND

TIDY TIP OF THE DAY ~ YOUR NIGHT STAND

Your night stand should only be used for items you need in bed.  Your books, your reading glasses, cell phone and memo pad. 
Now of course this should not all be on top of your night stand. A drawer makes things neater or if your night stand does not have a drawer you can always use a pretty wicker basket underneath.

WHAT'S FOR DINNER ~ HOME MADE CHICKEN SOUP ~ ON A COLD NIGHT

It is snowing and cold out.  What would be better than some home made soup. 
We took some chicken out of the freezer the night before to thaw. 
Next day we baked, cooled and deboned. 
Next boiled up the bones for some broth.
To that more canned broth is added along with the diced up chicken. 
Add 1 tsp of pepper, 1/2 tsp of salt and 1 tsp of garlic
Add to all of this 1 can of diced tomatoes with spices
a handful or two of frozen mixed vegetables
and pasta already cooked and drained.

Simmer for about 30 to 45 minutes and homemade soup is made.
Forget the canned chicken noodle soup and taste what soup really taste likes.
Thanks for stopping by for dinner.. Grace
