Nifty Thrifty Tuesdays No.48 and a Giveaway Reminder

Hello ladies...this week we will be looking at some of my favorite links from last weeks party. I will say that I'm so very sorry that I didn't get around to all of y'all, but these wedding plans are keeping me soooo busy. Last week we got the cake ordered and decided on the florist and believe me...those are both very hard decisions. I have been busy this month buying some really "cool" thrifty items, but just can't seem to find the time to get them all ready to show them off at my party...hope to have some ready really soon, so please come back to see what I have. You could really help this MOB if you could take a few minutes and visit around at some of the other links here this week...I bet you could find a few new friends and at the same time see some really neat NIFTY THRIFTY stuff...so give it a try! Now let's see what you have to share this week. Don't forget to enter my 1000 follower GIVEAWAY...you can enter it HERE!

A Sneak Peek

I'm here at the condo painting and thought I would give you a sneak peek of what I'm working on and I'm also sharing a few pics from around my "COASTAL NEST". I can't think of a better place to be painting other than here at the beach...it's a warm January day here...temps in the low 70's (now if you are buried in snow...please don't be mad at me). Better make this short and sweet, so I can get this project finished.
                                                         Hope you have a wonderful Sunday,
                                                                                Linda

Fluffing With Some Southern Cotton

Who doesn't like a little bit of change in our home decor? I'm always lovin' a new look...it feels like you have a brand new NEST! Now Mr.CC thinks I'm a little crazy because I go around changing things up all the time, but I think all hubbies do this...I guess it's their job. Since I'm a true THRIFTY GAL, I don't spend too much moola when to comes to my decorating and that's a good thing. Here are the changes that I have made on my mantel...I did some fluffing and came up with this!
                                              Hope all of y'all have a wonderful weekend!
                                                                      See ya soon,
                                                                           Linda

                                   Now all SOUTHERN homes need a little COTTON!

                                                My $2 TARGET birdie...isn't he cute?

                                                             FREE ALABAMA COTTON!

Blissdom Bound?

Are you BLISSDOM bound? Well silly me forgot all about this conference until a few days ago, so yes another year will come and go without me getting to attend and that makes me sad. I'm going right now and marking this on my calendar for next year so I don't miss out...if it's not on that calendar then you can just forget it at my old age. Have you ever stayed at one of the Gaylord Resorts? If not, treat yourself...you will be glad you did. Mr.CC has stayed at several of there locations for conventions and always came home with nice things to say about them, so I thought we would give them a try while we visited Nashville for a few days during the holidays. Beautiful resort with lovely balconies in each room looking out over the hotel...check out their specials that they have going on...you can save a ton of money. So if you are like me and not attending this week, then you can still enjoy a tour of the resort...come along with me to see this wonderful place, but be sure to have yourself a warm drink and maybe a snack...it's kinda a long one! Now if you have not already entered my 1000 follower GIVEAWAY...click HERE to enter.

                                          Hope y'all had a fun time here...see ya soon,
                                                                        Linda

                      Now the two of us had an awesome time here...so I know all of us would
                       also have an awesome time too! Let's all think about it and maybe a big
                        group of us should get together and make the trip next year...ALL IN?

                            You can go here to check out what this conference is all about!
                                                    Let me know what you think.
Linking up at the following places...come join me!

Now let's talk about some NIFTY THRIFTY treasures...ideas and so on! This week I'm sharing a couple of thrifty finds that I discovered at Penelope's Closet. Now let me tell you a little bit about this wonderful shop...it helps to support our local Penelope House...a house for women and children that have been victims of domestic violence. It's been a long time since I have been here and I was really surprise with all the updates that have taken place. I know a lot of our local consignment shops donate merchandise to this charity and I'm thinking that maybe some of our local shops donate also...I couldn't believe all the merchandise that still had price tags on them and were clean, fresh and in style...I'm talking upscale merchandise. Here is a couple of goodies that I came home with. Now it is time for you to show me whatcha got!

                        Thank you for coming and I hope you have a FUN time here at my PARTY!
                                                                           Linda

                                        Loved the size...just perfect for displaying some of my
                                                      THRIFTY sterling flatware!

                           Yes...I have some sterling flatware engraved with some other persons
                                                             name on it...oh well!

                                        I'm loving displaying milk glass in my dining room...so
                                                     I'm looking for more to add to my
                                                                     collection.

                                          So when I found this $3 beauty...she just had to come
                                                                    home with me!

                                         Then I spotted this tall one...it was my lucky day...she
                                                                  had a $7 price tag!

                                             I will be adding my two new friends here in
                                                     my dining room soon...stay tune to
                                                               see their new home!
