We love so many of the same things (and the same stores) :) I've been looking for sweaters to felt and haven't been finding any but today I found the jackpot at Salvation Army -- and they were all 50% off!!! Yay! 19 sweaters for $24. That was definately a blessing.Heather L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09892693393383714339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-32270714119800036252009-04-18T14:05:00.000-04:002009-04-18T14:05:00.000-04:00What a wonderful post.

Why buy it then - wait and it'll be at least half off. I do wish people wouldn't gobble everything up right away and wait it out though. We all could get things much cheaper if people would just learn to wait! That's really how I shop - that and getting lucky at the thrift store. <br /><br />Yay that you got a wonderful coat! I hope you get as lucky with the SAS shoes!<br /><br />Manuelathe pleasures of homemakinghttp://thepleasuresofhomemaking.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-20539096639181836542009-04-17T12:28:00.000-04:002009-04-17T12:28:00.000-04:00I love "treasure hunts"!

God is so good at supplying our needs and even simple wants. <br /><br />Yesterday a friend called from Cheapo Depot and told me to drop everything (I'm at work mind you) and get there quickly because the store had cases of cat food...cheap. I was able to buy 4 cases of 212 3-oz. cans of my cats fav foods for $35 a case! I have 848 cans of cat food to put in my "pantry". What a blessing considering I have a multi-cat household and help with rescue groups. Plus, each can had a coupon attached for even more food/blessings. I feel soooo blessed. God even takes care of the animals He's placed in my care.<br /><br />I love to ask God for something I need and then sit back and watch how He will perform his miracle of provision.<br /><br />D.A.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-49506016040265150042009-04-17T12:05:00.000-04:002009-04-17T12:05:00.000-04:00Yes I too look around our home and see so much lov...Yes I too look around our home and see so much love all around. The tresures bought on trips with my husband to the used stores, the things handed down from my large family..although they are all gone now, I am reminded of their love everytime I see something that was theirs. Through it all though I too see the hand of God as things we truely needed were 'there' when we least expected to find them and at a price we could afford. Although we have always had to get most of our purchases at the use stores we were taught to never get junk. There are so any good quality things to be had even if you sometimes have to wait for them. Also we keep a price in mind and although it is nerve wracking to sometimes pass up something because even used the price is too dear that day it is something we try to stick by. If you cannot afford it , well you cannot afford it..used or not! :) Used stores have certainly kept up with higher prices as things got more expensive everywhere. Here you seldom see any collectable type things like your lovely tea cups and such. I've been told most of the stores sell the better things on Amazon themselfs. I think even being here today seeing this blog is from God. I don't recall when or how I started reading your blog Brenda but you have certainly kept my heart home and kept me centered on Who is the center of it all. Thankyou.

It's almost like reading a detective story. <br /><br />Yay for the wonderful coat. Now we'll just pray you in the sandals that you need.<br /><br />Love the vignettes you've shared and that folk art tree is delightful.
