Buy my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

~Philippians 4:19

This is absolutely one of my favorite verses in the Bible!  Every single day of my life I have seen this promise come true--every day!  And today was no exception...

My neighbor friend and I took off this morning to the Rummage Sales.  We had planned this for a couple of days, as Thursday I saw a sign at the local Catholic church that they were having theirs from 7-1 today.  Well, let me tell you, this church really does things up big!  Their spaghetti dinners are awesome, their school is one of the best, and they're very active in the community in general.  So I just knew their Rummage Sale was definitely not to be missed--and I was right!

For several years I've wanted a Cheval mirror.  You know the one I mean...the freestanding head-to-toe mirrors on the beautiful stands.  Well, I just couldn't bring myself to spend the $$ for a new one, but kept my desire to myself.  Lo and behold, as I was ready to check out there today, I saw the one I've been wanting!  Was it $100?  No.  Was it $50?  Nope.  It was only $15!!!!  Yes, fifteen dollars!!!!  Hallelujah!  Oh, yeah, you know that right away I checked it out for scratches, nicks, or any other problem, but found nothing wrong with it.  And yes, I bought that right then and there, and yes, it did fit in my big ole Cadillac after we took it apart!  Woohoo! 

However, the deals didn't stop there.  Oh, no!!!  I got a cast iron corn stick pan for $5 (in perfect condition and well-seasoned--ready to bake in), and 2 Corning Ware glass baking pans (9"x13" and the size smaller with the basket, too) for $2--in new condition, never used.  More hallelujahs were going up! 

We stopped at a yard sale as we left the church and my friend found a brand-new entertainment center, still unassembled and in the box, for $10 (which she's been wanting very much), and a lovely brass and glass vanity table for her teen granddaughter for $5.  Yep, the Lord was truly giving us our needs and desires today!

We continued on to a couple more yard sales and found some more goodies (should I mention all the lamps my friend bought? LOL).  For me, a bloomin' onion maker I've wanted for a long time, hair bows on the clips I like to use to keep my hair up (my hair is much longer than the picture in my last post showed--it's layered and that was just the front showing--I'll try to remember to post one showing all of it), lots of summer clothes for my granddaughter and a T-shirt for my grandson (seemed to be a shortage of boy's summer clothes for some reason), a pair of church sandals for me, and a lovely plain white diner cup to go with the one I have from Community Coffee!  Some needs, and lots of wants were taken care of today!

We also stopped at a little produce stand and bought some lovely sweet onions for me to use with my new bloomin' onion maker as well as some other beautiful produce and fruit (including some cukes that Carol's going to fry up her special way and bring down to me--if I like them, I'll post the recipe over at Nanna's Kitchen).

We've finally unloaded the car and separated all of our goodies, and I've put most of mine away (the mirror will wait until someone stops by who can help me carry it upstairs), and now I plan to rest a little while and then tackle the laundry (oh yes, I got a new drying rack today for $1--never used!).

I pray you're having a blessing-filled weekend, too!

Oh, yes...here's a pic with 2 of my fav instructors--Mr. Mann in Accounting, and Mrs. Mann in Computers--
