Hmmm Savers?

So thursday i ventured to a store called SAVERS its like good will i guess? It was my first visit and i wanna say it was a great experience? But it wasnt that great BUT i did get some good bargins! So as you all know we got a new table its marble... I know more work for myself BUT its so PRETTY! :) Ive decided we need place mats and coasters so i thought id have a look and see what i could find right? Whether or not it was a real place mat or not i figured if i found a nice curtain or a nice table cloth i could cut it up and make me some unique placemats! But the curtains they had were awful and the table cloths were COVERED in stains..and i had no plans in dyin the material and then cuttin them up! So i moved on and found me a good deal on green apple coloured cloth napkins! Ive been wanting to switch to cloth but just have been to lazy... but they had 9 of these nice napkins and i couldnt pass them up! Not at 60 cents a piece! And then i found a nice well i guess it was a place mat of some sorts but there was only one of then and i was looking for something to place in the middle of the table to place the bread, salt n pepper and what not in the centre of the table with out scratchin up the marble! It was only 90 cents!


So while i was out today i popped into walmart to see what was in their clearance section and i came across this really cute baseket! It was on clearance because one small piece on the bottom was snapped a lil and heck ive been looking for a bread basket! And this would do a perfect job of that! Its the same colour as our chairs and the green napkins look great with the basket!



So i hope uve all had a great wk :) And sorry i havent blogged every single day :) I hate not having my camera! Anyway im sitting here waiting for a loaf of bread to bake and all the boys are off up stairs im down stairs listening to music and enjoying a cup of peppermint tea MMM I hope everyone has a good wkend!

My evening!

So like mentioned before we were over at Joe and Ang's! She grilled tonight which was pretty good (even if the chicken was a lil black *GRIN* i think we all enjoyed it!) But our local icecream place called "HoneyBear" opened up this wk and we can NOT be happier! As you will see from the pics Angie snapped earlier this evening! But a great night was had by all we may have not have played games this wk but the boys watched movies and us gals caught up on girl chat! Which we both need sometimes :)

Spring has Sprung!

:) So we were over at Angie and Joe's for our ritual dinner and games this evening and seeing ive been with out a camera these last few days..... I have MUMMY brains! Ive been loosing things lately! My mum says its what happens when you have kids! (ITS SO TRUE! that and 2 grown men to look after a dog 3 cats a guinea pig and a 5 yr old!) So anyway she took some pics of the newly sprung seedlings that are growing in her basement!
