Goose Creek Candle Giveaway...A Little Fall Decor Too

The weather here in coastal Alabama might still be hot and steamy, but fall is right around the corner. Tomorrow, we are getting a "cool" snap, so I thought, I would pull out a few seasonal decorations to slowly remind myself that summer is almost over. I think I’m in denial about that, but again, I do really love FALL...how about you? Now, the best way to put me in a fall mood is with scented candles, oh how I love me some good smelling candles. So when Goose Creek Candle Co. asked if I’d like to try two of their American Heirloom Candles, and then give one away to one of my readers, I gladly accepted!

                My first pick was HAZELNUT CREAM...oh my...I'm
                lovin' this one. Fall is the perfect time of year for this
                scent, but I love it so much, that I will burn it all year
                            long. Nothing wrong with that, huh?        


                   When I burn every ounce of it, then look what I have
                    left. It's a great glass container, and it comes with a
                                   pretty pewter top...yippee!!!

                To recycle this jar, you don't even need to
                remove a sticker. Now, I'm liking that!!

                My second pick was WHIPPED PUMPKIN LATTE. Now,
                that was not a big surprise. If you know me, then you know
                how I have an obsession with anything PUMPKIN.
               UPDATE...Mr.CC just came in the house and said WOW,
               that's one great smelling candle, so I know it's a winner!!!

Look Who Just Keeps Showing Up

Here, on our beautiful Alabama beaches, we just keep getting a visit from this ole guy. It's a 150 foot mystery ship, that Mr.CC and I just had to see, up close and personal. So, today we made that visit to see a little bit of history.

This is actually the fourth time parts of the wreckage have become visible over the years, after it first made an appearance following Hurricane Camille in 1969. It reappeared in 2004 after Hurricane Ivan and again in 2008 after Hurricane Ike. It was very interesting to view how these wooden ships were made, many years ago. You just don't see, this kind of work anymore. This is the most visible it has been in recent years. Eventually the shifting sands will pull it back under the beach, where it will slumber until another storm is powerful enough to bring it back to the surface. I hope you enjoy viewing it from my pics...next best thing to being there with me.
                                         Blessings,
                                            Linda

                             I am so glad that he is not
                                    in my front yard!
                       Now, look that this beautiful old wood.





                          Lots of wood and steel.






                       More parts from the ship are
                             still out in the water.



 
 

                         I sure hope we don't see him again
                                    for a long long time!

Nifty Thrifty Tuesday No.129

Welcome to my weekly NIFTY THRIFTY TUESDAY party...so happy to have you here. I hope your week has started off with a bang, and you are enjoying this first week of September. It's so hard to believe that September is already here, where did this summer go? Well, it's here, so what that means for us is, college football! Oh yes, we just back home from a three day trip to Atlanta, to watch our Auburn Tigers play. It was a fun time with our daughters in tow (as always). Now, it's time to get outside, and clean up our yard after the storm that blew in last week. So, I better go, and get to cleaning. You will love these three features that I am sharing with you today, so be sure to check them out.
                                           Blessings,
                                              Linda
