Were You There?

"Were you there when they crucified my Lord?

Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble...

Were you there when they nailed him to the tree?...

Were you there when they pierced him in the side?...

Were you there when they laid him in the tomb?...

Oh, sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble..."

Driving past a church we spotted this rugged cross draped in black...

My friend and me stopped, took the photo, and remembered...

Allow me to paraphrase the words of a dear friend, 'on Easter morn, may each of us find ourselves in a Christian Church worshiping a Holy God who created us...'

 Have a Blessed Easter!!

Junkin' Treasures

I was on my own for my junkin' jaunt this past Saturday. Said friend was too busy with a neighbor's project to spare the time to junk with me! BooHooHoo! (I really, really didn't mind because the neighbor has been helpful to my friend and me too!) I also had only a couple of hours to spare for my junkin' morning and could only hit a few sales in the area!

Luckily there were a couple of neighborhoods advertising sales, so I headed out in anticipation of good finds!

And of course the very best finds are always at the top of the hill...(puff, huff, puff, puff...LOL)

So many sellers throw it all out for you to rummage through...

This sweet couple was raising money for an adoption...

I think it is so generous of families to give to others to help in their efforts of adopting. The prices were right and I was able to pick up a few smalls.  I thought the bamboo table and chairs was soooo cute but I didn't need it so another lady grabbed it! FYI, don't study toooo long on an item or it will be towed away!!

I was happy with my finds for the day!

A cheese block from mudpie (new, still in box)... iron and wicker wall hanger... iron candlebras...

A mirrored window... hanging light fixture... iron candle holders with sweet birds...

Working on revamping these treasures this week!

Grabbing the paper today to spot sales for the upcoming weekend! Ummmm, need to whisper in my friend's ear the plans...

Have a Blessed Day!! And see ya down the junkin' road!!
