Happy Birthday to NIFTY THRIFTY TUESDAYS...you have come a long way baby since the day you were born. As you turn 1 year old today...thought I would share with all of y'all my first party, since so many of you were not there. Every week more and more people are showing up and joining in all the NIFTY THRIFTY FUN...last week over 200 came by to party...big difference from the 56 that came by to my first party and I'm hoping to keep growing in the future. Since all of y'all have been so nice by coming to my party, I would like to say a big THANK YOU by having GIVEAWAYS every week during the month of March. This week my friend Rhonda over at BLUE CREEK HOME was very sweet to donate this beautiful MOTHER AND CHILD PILLOW...if you already know Rhonda...then you know she does an outstanding job with her handmade pillows and if you don't know Rhonda...then you are missing out on knowing a true SOUTHERN LADY...so be sure to go by and introduce yourself to her. Want a chance to WIN this beautiful pillow? Here are the ways that you can WIN...
1. Link up to NIFTY THRIFTY TUESDAYS and leave a comment...1 entry
2. Follow BLUE CREEK HOME and be sure to let me know this by a separate comment...2 entries
3. Tell me where you will display the pillow in your home...1 entry
4. Post the giveaway on your sidebar...1 entry
The GIVEAWAY will end March 6 and the WINNER will be announced on March 7!
What a SWEET pillow!
You can meet Rhonda here at Blue Creek Home
Week 1...March 2010
Hello everyone...the day that I've been waiting for is finally here...it's my first NIFTY THRIFTY TUESDAYS PARTY! I love to host parties in my home...I had a baby shower here just last weekend for my nephew's wife and it was soooo much FUN sharing this wonderful and exciting time with friends and family. I was telling Mr.CC earlier today that this kind of party here in blogland is right up my alley...no mopping...no dusting...no cleaning baseboards etc....just sit in front of the computer and type away...I can even do this while wearing my favorite pair of pj's!
Today I will be posting about some goodies that I found at GOODWILL and a local consignment shop...I hope you enjoy the party and thank you sooooo much for joining me...it means the world to me!
Have fun looking...I know I will,
Linda
I found this old vintage pitcher at a local consignment shop...knew I had to have it...it goes really well with some glasses that I already have...luv the $5.00 price tag!
Brand new TJ Maxx merchandise at GOODWILL...$2.00!
I'm going to use this cute mixing bowl for a kitchen gift basket...I'm still buying items to fill it up!
Another TJ Maxx item...still had the price tag on it...only $3.00! I guess she doesn't like returning things...her lost...my gain.
I will be going to the following parties...
Tuesdays Treasures
Wow Us Wednesdays
Anything Goes
Junkin' Finds
Wallet-Friendly Wednesday
Take a Look Tuesday
Tip Me Tuesday
Show Me What ya Got
Amaze Me August
Twice Owned Tuesday

Hi Linda, congratulations. I'm sure that time's gone fast for you. Thanks for the link to Rhonda's blog. It's beautiful, and will be delightful to follow.

Hello Linda, congrats on one whole year of your fun meme. I enjoy it very much.
Love your thrifty buys too. The water pitcher is so sweet and the TJMaxx items a real steal. You gotta love the great buys you can find thrifting.
Hugs, Jeanne
Happy Birthday to your linky party! Not only do you know how to throw a good party, you find the best deals!
Have a wonderful day!
I love the rustic feel of the pillow with the materials and the fabric flowers but yet it is so elegant thanks to it's artistry! It would look perfect in my living room!!!!
Thanks for always hosting a fabulous party!
This is my first visit to Nifty Thrify Tuesday's and love it.
I like all your good finds. I am jealous of any good GW store, for lack of having one.
Any way love that cute pillow
Janice
This is my first time linking-up to Nifty Thrifty Tuesday. I am also a new follower of yours, and I am enjoying your blog!
If I am lucky enough to win the lovely pillow, I will proudly display it in the dormitory. It is the largest bedroom in the house, and it is our guest bedroom. Our teenage daughters call it the dorm because it's where they have sleepovers with their friends. I think it is one of the prettiest rooms in the house, and the girls take good care of it!
Hi Linda,
Love your blog! Thanks for hosting such a great linky party...I just joined in...looks like fun! I also just became your newest Follower. I live on the coast of Maine and love the coastal theme in your decor and on your blog.
Hugs,
Cheryl at My Sister's Cottage

Happy Birthday Nifty Thrifty Thursday!
I would love to win this fabulous pillow.
I would display this beautiful pillow in my French Rose Garden Bedroom.
I added your giveaway button to my sidebar.

I would love to use this pillow in any room of my home, but I honestly thought of my daughter when I first saw it. The image on the pillow reminds me of Asheley - my daughter - holding my granddaughter - Lana. The images on the pillow actually resemble Asheley and Lana. And the pillow would look gorgeous with the table chandy I made her for her birthday - this month.
Blessings,
