French Market Buys....

 These are the things I bought at the market at Horton's earlier this month. Time is getting away from me. I liked these very colorful napkins, they are paper, so were not  costly.
 I picked up these cards depicting scenes around our town. This one being our courthouse clock tower.
 Two cards with the Eiffel tower and a book of the rail system in France, from the 50's.
 Two old hankies and some jello molds. I may just hang the molds on a wall or make wind chimes with them.
I loved this 30"x30" dish towel. I am using it as a table cloth topper for now. I bought a few more things I will show later.
 Today is the 24th of July. YIKES, summer is hurrying by. I feel as if I have not been doing enough  outdoor things.  Need to clean out some of my flower beds. The lawn man comes tomorrow. I will have to point out the crabgrass to him. I am not a lawn expert, but really...I know crabgrass when I see it. I just may not offer him a bottled water ...yes, I will. Whenever any one works around here, I offer them a water or soda.
  Hope you are enjoying a wonderful summer day . XO

  4. Very cute finds at Horton's...Napkins are just getting so cute these days!!

    This is the time that crab grass starts to sprout. You can't kill it, just prevent it from reseeding and coming back next year. It's also time for grubs so you need a killer for that! I do all my own weeding and feeding now because our service neglected to do so much and keep at it. :)

    1. We tried to do our own lawn care...TEd laid down on that job...yikes. the lawn was awful. So I'd rather pay a little for it to be done at the right times. It seems our lawn peole just want us to spent thousands ...they are always trying to sell more care, like fertilizers for trees, bug sprays for trees,....they are making me nuts. :):) I love having paper napkins on hand for lunch or sodas. So whenever I see cute ones or some on sale I will buy them. Oh yes, I use the paper towels too. LOL. xoxo,Susie

  11. I too can get carried away at certain places. I have to stop myself. I an trying to de-clutter my life and yet I still bring home little items that catch my eye. I suppose it's really all in the spirit of fun.
