Weekly Words to Live By



{A little info on the photo above: The Goodwill chalkboard that was once blue...I sprayed the whole thing with chalkboard paint. It's a great little place to display inspirational messages and a perfect size for our dining room mantel. I love the little birds at the top and the nest at the bottom! The little silver piece I picked up at the Nashville Flea market a couple of weeks ago, and the shadow box with the antiqued silverware I bought half off {for $12} at Hobby Lobby yesterday...I've had my eye on that piece for a while now! I'll have to do a separate post at some point on the map of France in the background. It's almost 160 years old and was a great Ebay find for less than $30! The straw hat, which you see in many of my posts, I got a while back at Goodwill. I collect vintage looking straw hats...they are a weakness!}

I'm joining Tracey @ Notes from a Cottage Industry for her Weekly Words to Live By and Cindy @ Cottage Instincts for Make it For Monday and Rhoda @ Southern Hospitality for Today's Thrifty Treasures

  9. Great quote! i love your mantel, love that chalkboard. you always find great things :) I have made some terrific finds over the past 3 months on teacups and saucers, doilies, silver...I found a complete set (tea) except for the tray at goodwill for 25$...they put a hammered aluminum or nickel tray under it. some of this stuff i am keeping, and some I am going to giveaway at your next cottage blog hop. I was a visitor this past time, I want to participate the next go round. I have already put some stuff together as "sets" that i think people will enjoy.

  10. Hey, Kim, I love your thrifty display, so pretty!

    And how hilarious on your dream. I love some cottage elements, but I'm not about to sell everything in my house & start over. So I'll just mix it all in, a little bit here & there. What a dream! :)

  15. It would’ve been better if you posted a picture of it as well but I think I got the picture. Nowadays, most of the money gets spent on buying Affordable Assignment services so whatever money I’m left with; I have to use it for my personal needs which is why I check different blogs posts for DIY decoration items so that I won’t have to buy them.

  16. Constitutional Law Assignment Help
    The system of laws defining various institutions of authority and responsibilities within a state is known as constitutional law. The constitutional law governs not just the government and its agencies but also the rights and privileges of the general community. To create and oversee the new rules and regulations is the primary goal of the constitutional laws. Because of this, there is always room to create new rules to reflect the evolving situation. Constitutional laws are those that set a country's legal framework and explain how various administrative components—particularly the authoritative, official, and legal—relate to one another.
