This week at NIFTY THRIFTY TUESDAYS I will be sharing with you what I did over the weekend...I had a GARAGE SALE! I sooooo needed to get some unwanted items out of this house and I did just that. My mom told me about the neighborhood sale that they were having in her neighborhood and since Mr.CC and I were not going out of town to watch our AUBURN TIGERS play football, then we loaded this stuff up and headed over to her house. I was very happy to get this stuff gone from my home and I'll be honest...the best part was spending two days with my sweet MOM! We had so much fun talking and laughing...I cherish every minute that I spend with her, because I do realize how lucky I am to still have her in my life...she is 82 and still in good health...that is such a blessing to me. It always seems like every time that we have a garage sale together, the two of us shop each others stuff and come home with a least one item. This time I came home with three items...look and see what I found!
As you know...I love anything ORANGE...so this cute little beaded candle holder came home with me!

I love that photo of the two of you. What beautiful ladies you are.
I got a candlestick this week at St. Vinney's but that's it. Not enough to post about but I'm so happy with my $1.49 treasure.
I know how you feel Linda about time with your Mom. I am visiting mine for a couple of weeks and I'm so blessed to still have her with me. I love the orange candle holder and the two milk glass vases are also special. I love some milk glass! You look so happy with your Mom!!
I love the light coming through the orange candle holder and what a good pic of you and your mom.

Love that treasured moment with your Mom...glad she lets you know of garage sales too.
Great find on that orange glass, I like the way the light reflects on it.

My mom and I are good together in small doses.
Maybe we are too much alike to be together too much more than that. I fondly remember our good years together.
My "thrift" this week is about the free portion of what I found this weekend.
Just wanted to say, I just started reading your blog today. I found it on another blog but I don't remember where! It's great! Loved your finds this weekend!! WAR EAGLE!
How wonderful that you now have these precious treasures from your mom. You both are beautiful!
XO,
Janie
Hi Linda!
That is awesome you were able to spend a fun weekend with your mom. Great memories! i bet the two of you had some fun together checking out each others treasures up for grabs!
Hi Linda! I love your orange candle holder! And how fun to get to have some time with your mom! Hope you are having a great week!...hugs...Debbie
Your and your mom are two lovely ladies! Love the orange beaded candle holder AND the milk glass vases.
Looks like you have a very special relationship with your mom. Nothing like sharing family treasures. I cherish pieces that have been given to me from family. Thanks for hosting! I love your blog...fun theme! Thanks and Happy Fall!
Give extra kisses to your mom! My mom passed away at the young age of 54. It has been 13 years and I still miss her, but have such fond memories! My children do things that remind me of her...so sweet! Lovely picture! Christie at Three Pixie Lane

Hi Linda. I thought it was pretty funny when I came over to link today, and see you start off with your love of orange, like me. And like me, we share milk glass. Great minds think alike. Thanks as always for doing the party.
Linda, what a great picture of you and your Mom. I am blessed to have my Mom and Dad too. Love spending time with them. Glad you sold some of your items at the yard sale. And I love the things you came home with. I have some of the same vases. I love milk glass. Love & blessings from NC!
Love love the orange! So sweet with your Mother!

I love the Teal/Turquoise Rehab project table, and she's got some great tips on how it was done. And the wall paper art is really inspirational!
It's so great that you had your Mom to do the garage sale with you. It makes it so much more fun when you have help.
Love the photo of the 2 of you.
I don't have anything to link up today, but I'll have fun checking out everyone else's.
Thanks for hosting!

Hi Linda, I am happy to be joining in your fun meme again. To say I have been busy is an understatement. Smile.
Time with your mom is always special. Your photo together is a treasure. The milk glass bud vases are also a treasure and a lasting memory in years to come. I too love orange but mostly in the Fall. Your beaded glass candle holder is a good find.
Happy thrifting to you.
Hugs, Jeanne
Lovely photo, thanks for hosting:))
Greetings from Europe, Biljana
That is a lovely photo of you and your mother!
Awe, that is a sweet photo of you and your mom.
Very exciting finding an orange lovely like this!
I didn't get any pictures taken to play along this week, I put up a recipe instead today. I am glad to read about your "mom" time. After losing my mom in May, I realize even more how lucky I was to have those special memories. It makes me happy when others are creating theirs.
Hi-just linked up to your party-such nice memories with your mom-I'm now a follower so come over and visit me! Thanks
loving that orange vase, and so glad you had a great time with your mom!
What a sweet picture of you and your Mom! It's extra fun to get new little treasures...especially when you cleaned out to make room for them!
Jan, (also a lover of the color orange!)
Thanks for hosting. This will be such fun!
