You know, I don't think you have to have alot of money to decorate your home. Truly, I like to pray when I am going yard saling. I want to find what will make my home a nice place, and also be a good steward with what the Lord has given my family. If we made millions, I would still like to yard sale. It's just good business. This weekend I went with my sweethearts mom, (also known as Grammy at our house) and sister, plus my 4 treasures to some yard sales. We hit this old farmhouse that I have always wanted to go into. The older lady who had lived there for many years had moved to an assisted living facility. I suppose there was alot of things the family didn't know what to do with, so they had a yard sale. When we went in, there were things everywhere. I saw some beautiful old pieces of furniture. I really don't have any place to put another piece of furniture though, so I moved right along into the kitchen. I found a cake plate with the dome cover for a whopping $2. It was really dirty, but I had a vision for this very old piece.
Isn't it pretty? I have space above my cabinets in my kitchen, so I am always looking for something pretty to add.
Here it is in it's new home. Most of the decorations in my home, I've gotten wonderful deals on. The Lord has been so very good to me. He seems to place things in my path that I really like.
That white thingy on the counter is my Walmart dehydrator. I've probably had it for 12 years. It was like $30, and I have used it for so many things. Here are some of the oranges I've been drying. The smell is fantastic. I use these dried pieces in mulling spice or tea, or I grind the peel for baking. I also use dried oranges on my christmas tree as a garland. I use raffia as the actual garland, and tie oranges on every foot or so. I really like the homey look of oranges in a big glass jar too. There are so many blessings being a homemaker. So many joys in simple things, that the rest of the world might overlook at a glance, but the rewards are so numerous I could never quite put it to pen and do it justice. I hope you are finding joy in your home today. I hope Christ is reigning supreme in your hearts and minds. In Christ, Geanine |
Here is a little white oak handmade basket we found for $1 Wowsers. I can't tell you how excited I was to find this little treasure. I really do love the beauty and usefulness of baskets. When I am out yard saling it really makes me love my job as a homemaker. So many things in the homemaking world appeal to me. When I got home from ysaling, I decided I was going to slice up some organic oranges and dry them. Eww how much fun I was having.
