Chit Chat Shoppe Has Moved to New Blog Come Visit

Hi Ya'll, and Welcome to Chit Chat Shoppe! Glad you stopped by to see the announcement that I have been putting on all my pages here with my LilacsNDreams Blog! Whew! I am getting me some finger cramps too!:) Due to some circumstances...long story, by as of Monday, May 7th I have been working on my new blog that I started then. Wasn't sure what would happen to this one when I got blocked out, and no guarantees of having it reinstated. 

So, I started a new blog right away, been announcing it everywhere, and to everyone too. Trying to get the word out to all who were following me here as well. You can click on LilacsNDreams which will take you right over to the new blog, or you can also click on LilacsNDreams2.blogspot.com as well. When you land there you will see the tabs with all the pages I have set up for you to visit with. Oh, yeah...if you forget to click on the addys just click one of the tabs at the top of the page, and you should be taken directly over to one of the new blog pages too. Neat, huh? Hope I did it right, and it works as I have been testing. 

I apologize for any inconvenience this has been to anyone. Thanks so much for understanding, and I hope to see you all again. Best of luck to you, take care, and have a wonderful day everyone! See you at the New Blog!:)

 

Chit Chat Caffee Shoppe Gathering

Chit Chat Caffee Shoppe Gathering.

Hello, and Welcome to Chit Chat Caffee Shoppe everyone! Bear with me if you will. As time goes along with this page you will see me using maybe some different words, referring to this page with some different words/names, and so on. I guess I am in the mood for some slight changes, researching the internet to try very hard to make some things unique, and comforting to work for others as well too. There is soooo much out there in blogger land with unique names, and words being used! I have enjoyed some of the wonderful ideas I have had, and have also enjoyed seeing others liking the same things, and using it too. It has been an experience to see how others also are creative, and what they do with words. Pretty good pass time to experience for a day...let me tell you!:) 

This is one of many pages I have with my main blog of LilacsNDreams. I enjoy blogging, working with my blog, showing links to stores where I sell, showing pictures of things offered and have sold, and feel it to be more like a website than just a blog too. I have pages where I try to share different things, and different interests from me that others also like. Trying to have a lil bit of something for many different people. With this page I would like it to be a place where it is about nothing in particular. Just stopping by to visit, maybe share something that was heard of or just learned, share an experience, share something about your day, maybe stopping by with your cup of joe to get a pick me up for a bad day you are having, a place to journal, and.....just a place to chit chat and shoot the breeze with other fellow bloggers, and roamers of the internet. I don't know, but it's kind of nice to step away from business, crafting, listings, and such for just a few minutes to get a breath of fresh air, and to focus with something else for just a bit, don't you think?

I hope you got the idea of what I am trying to make this page about, and can understand my ramblings...I can get excited, and carried away sometimes....LOL:) For now this page is Chit Chat Coffee Shoppe, but I am working on trying to change it just a little bit....Chit Chat Caffee Shoppe, Chit Chat Caffee Joint, Simply Chit Chat, Just For Chit Chat, and so on, and so on. Trying to find something a little bit unique, and to make it into my own.....notice I said trying:) Chit Chat is very commonly used, but I so do like the idea of it too!:)

Thanks for visiting with Chit Chat Caffee Shoppe again everyone. Hey, if you have any suggestions...please share them!:) Would love to hear what others think, and get a little bit more input with this too. Ya'll take care, and see you again soon. Toodles...........

Good Day Fellow Bloggers With Chit Chat Shoppe

Hello Everyone, and so happy to see you visiting Chit Chat Shoppe! I know, I know...been MIA quite a bit lately. I am so so very sorry for that too. I have been dealing with priming, and painting some rooms upstairs....but first cleaning up after some contractors before I can do some of the work. Then, dealing with a garage I have not used all winter for my car, but wanting it with weather changes, and possible storms. Yeah, more issues with contractors. They started outside the house with siding, and 2 porches in November. From there they came inside the home to work in rooms upstairs...new bathroom, new closets, new walls in 1 spare room, and so on. Here it is the 1st part of April, and jobs not done yet. Priming, and painting is being done so they can finish the bathroom with the floor, fixtures, stool, and etc. No beds, and no closets to use since January, and it is getting old. Talked few times with son of landlord, and the last time told him a fire needed to be lit under someone's bootie.  Also, been walking around house, and garage picking up nails, screws, and scraps in order to prepare for mowing the yard soon.

2 days after the call to the son the scaffle was gone outside with all 3 ladders that had been pulled up from the yard...they sat there all winter. My garage is cleaned out, organized, I can park my new car in there, and still able to walk around the garage. Finally! Now, to get this upstairs done. What fun, right? I think not. But, not my property, we have lived here almost 4 years, and the landlord is great! It's these contractors being used that I am not approving of. But, what's a girl to do, right?

Well, now that I have shared some life events.....I do really hope all of you are doing better than me. Hopefully you are in areas to enjoy this wonderful weather we have been having, and with the seasonal change into spring. I always like this time of year. Things are fresh, new, coming back to life, and it feels good!:)

Thanks so much for visiting with Chit Chat Shoppe everyone. Good to see you, and always welcome to drop by. Please feel free to share, comment, and make a note if you will too. Remember to say Hi so that I know you visited, and can hop on over to see you as well. Take care, and see you all again soon. Toodles..............

Welcome to Chit Chat Shoppe With Blog Blogging

Welcome to Chit Chat Shoppe in Blog Blogging! Glad to have you visit with me during this time. WOW! Wednesday, 1st week of 2nd month in year is gone, and right now time has kind of been moving this way a little bit. How about with you? It has gotten cool again for us in our area of living, but so nice and sunny, and No Snow! I can handle that one, and so can the body too!:) 

Unfortunately, time still gets away from me a bit yet. I am working on schedules for me during the week so I can become more organized. I have not fulfilled my goal with it, but have honestly been working with it, and trying. Hopefully soon I get a feel for a schedule, and get a rythmn that works for me.

Welcome to Chit Chat Coffee Shoppe

Welcome to Chit Chat Coffee Shoppe everyone! Glad to see you, and have you dropping by:)

Time has just been flying lately, don't you think? I mean, here it is the 1st day of the 2nd month of the new year. Where has this past time gone already? Weather has been great here....just beautiful! Hardly any snow...if any. Just loving it! 

Pretty much have been a home body lately. When nice like today I am antsy to get out, and I finally did a little bit. But, only to go to the hardware store, talk with the landlords son, back to the hardware store, wash my car....and a big truck happen to be racing by when I got a big splash from him. 

Tonight I wanted to put up the new holder for the shower head on the shower wall. Got the old one off, got a container with some dawn soap, some vinegar, and some hot water, and let the shower head soak to clean. Got the screw out of the holder, and there I was stuck! Whoever, whatever, however....the back is like glued on! Even the flat head screw driver could not get it to come loose. Now what?! Well, in the morning they will be here to walk the house, and try to find where some of the drafts are coming from too. While here, I will ask the head contractor, or Landlords son if someone can help me out on getting it put back together. So, till then it sits again. Darn for wanting to fix something, and do it right, huh?:)

Well, I hope everyone has had a great week so far. Thanks again for visiting with Chit Chat Shoppe. Ya'll take care, and see you again soon.

Now...that is soon ending. Google had taken Picnik over in 2010? Seems like an eternity ago, not sure on definite time it happened, but things went pretty smooth after that transaction too. Now, this announcement along with you being referred to Google Plus to do your editing. When they say this I am assuming it is Picasa that they are having you use since their albums are with them. Can't do nearly there what you could with Picnik. So, for those you would like to see maybe keeping Picnik around a bit longer, here is the announcement that came to my email. Feel free to read it, and continue on with signing the petition if you wish as well.

Welcome to Chit Chat Coffee Shoppe Blog Page

Welcome to Chit Chat Coffee Shoppe Blog Page! Glad to have you here, and happy that you could stop by for a visit, and a virtual cup of coffee. It's cold here, and the coffee is good to keep us warm right now. Although it is evening here, and I will probably make some hot cocoa I found in the cupboard, and maybe a few mini marshmellows too. Hmm...and warm!

Here we go into the weekend, and we have gotten through our second week of the year too! Whew! Time just flies sometimes, don't it? Soon we all will be rushing to get our taxes done, and preparing for the change of the season too. Hopefully it comes a bit sooner this year than it did last year. Would be nice with the great winter weather we have been having so far here. 

Well, I wanted to stop by, say Hi, and share a cup of joe with ya'll. Thanks again for visiting with Chit Chat Coffee Shoppe. Stop by anytime, there is always a cup sitting to be drank. Make sure you say Hi too. Then, I can stop on by to visit with you also. When you can, make sure to visit my other pages I have created with my blog too. Thanks again, and see you again soon. Happy Weekend!

 

Chit Chat Coffee Shoppe Says Happy Thanksgiving to All

Chit~Chat Coffee Shoppe Says Happy Thanksgiving to All!

Whew! Where did this month go? Really has gone by, hasn't it? Holidays can be like that. Sometimes I complain because I don't get done all I want to, but yet it is good as there is time spent with family, and friends during these special times. 

I hope that everyone has some where they can go, some where they can be, someone they can share with, and pray that no one has to be alone on this day of celebration. I wish you all well, enjoy, have fun, and please be safe too! HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL!!
 

Good Afternoon Chit Chatters Bloggers Visitors and Friends

Good Afternoon Chit~Chatters, Bloggers, Visitors, and Friends!

Welcome to the Chit Chat Coffee Shoppe for LilacsNDreams!:) Glad to see you here, and happy you could stop on by. Don't be afraid, you are always Welcome to say Hi, and let us know you were here too:)

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend, and excellent time with trick-or-treating too. I would soooo loved to have done some things I had planned on this past weekend, but have been home sick. Yeah, over a week now, and still cannot quit this darn coughing yet. I so had some big plans for a "Girls Weekend" this first weekend of November with some friends, and yesterday I finally had to break down and inform them I would not be able to make it. Was very disappointed as it would have been a blast to go! Friends coming together in a different area, spending a couple of nights of doing nothing, thrifting, shopping, fleaing, and whatever we could find to do, and just have some good old fun! I will be thinking of them, and wishing them well as they journey out. Hopefully we can plan this again for us to have fun....spring? maybe? 

Yeah, getting cold here, leaves falling, NO snow but sometime it will happen, furnaces running, and that time of year when a person hybernates. Now.....if I lived down south I could at least do a little bit more as I would not have the snow to fight with. But, gotta do what you can for where you are, right?

Well, folks, time to take some meds. I held off a bit today so I could get on this wonderful computer, and get a few things done. Starting to get tired, and coughing....I think I grew another lung some where with all of the coughing. Still sitting up to sleep, but if I can start sleeping normally that way...without waking up coughing....I hopefully can lie down soon:) 

Thanks for visiting everyone, and don't be afraid to say Hi, and let me know you were here. Love to hear from everyone:) Take care, and have a super evening!:)

Good Day and Welcome to Chit Chat Coffee Shoppe

Good Day to everyone, and Welcome to Chit Chat Coffee Shoppe! Love to have you here, and glad you visited. Sorry, again I have been behind with this particular page on my blog, but check out my other pages with thrifting, and second treasures. You will see I have been slowly working with those, adding some pictures, and sharing with everyone my treasures found lately. Also, a glimpse of completed projects I have been working with, or some that are a working progress too. 

I do hope everyone has had a very enjoyable summer. Most schools have started, or are soon starting...that time of year again. Labor Day will soon be here, and where is the time going? Seems like I have sooo much to do yet, and very little time. I have some painting I would like to accomplish yet before the weather changes, and hopefully I can get some of it done yet. 

Wishing everyone well, and thanks so much for visiting with me today. Wishing everyone a super weekend. Enjoy, have fun, and be safe! See you again soon:)

 

Good Morning With LilacsNDreams Chit Chat Coffee Shoppe

Good Morning Everyone, and Welcome to LilacsNDreams Chit Chat Coffee Shoppe! Glad to see you here, and look forward to hearing from you as well. 


Busy, busy, busy for many right now. Last minute vacations, the rush for school shopping, preparing for getting kids started with school, and also preparing some for their next step they are taking in life with going to college. 


Past couple of weeks I have been slowly working on repurposing some products that I have gotten from thrift stores, found at sales, or some of it comes from some of my own inventory of things too. I have been enjoying myself with this as it will be a new step for me to add with my sales of vintage, and collectibles that I have done since 2004. I am nervous, and also excited as I am enjoying what I am doing, and hope things work out for all of it too. There are so many talented people out there doing this, and I only hope I can do as well as some of them have done for themselves too. 


When you have a chance, visit with my other pages at the top of here. Visit Thrift Store Junkies....where I try to show pictures of items I have come home with, or maybe have at home. Then, visit with Second Time Treasures where I try to show you pictures of before, and after of some of the projects I have completed and worked with lately. I have titled my pages pretty much according to the topic that will be on that page. Giving you a little of a variety for when you visit with me. Clicking on the Home tab takes you to the beginning of my blog, and how I originally started with LilacsNDreams. 


Thank you all for visiting with me today, and wishing you all a wonderful Friday!:) Have a sweet weekend, enjoy, and have fun. Till the next time my dear friends....Be Well!:)

Good Morning at LilacsNDreams Chit Chat Coffee Shoppe

Hello, and Welcome to LilacsNDreams Chit Chat Coffee Shoppe! Glad to see ya'll here!:)

So, what has everyone been up to lately? Me? Well, started working on some projects...so I was gluing, searching for the right color of ribbon/material to use to make a bow on an item I have completed. But, after looking at it, and picturing it, I decided it needs just a little touch to it. So, hopefully I found something to work, and match up, and to give it that "touch" I think it needs:)

Other than that not too much of anything else really. I have been spending time with a social network that has a new platform, and is open to everyone too. That place is called Treasure Seekers Unite. Just a small place to get together to converse, and share things:)

Hope this finds everyone doing well, and wishing ya'll a Happy Hump Day too!:) Take care my chit chat friends. Please make sure to visit again, and always welcome to leave comments, and share with us here too:)

Good Morning Welcome to LilacsNDreams Chit Chat Coffee Shoppe

Good Morning, and Welcome to LilacsNDreams Chit~Chat Coffee Shoppe! Glad to see you here, and hope all are doing well. 

Whew! I don't know how it has been for all of you, but we have had 98+ degree weather here, HOT, Humid, with no kind of a breeze at all. Course, if there was a wind, I suspect it would be hot too:) 

Been busy babysitting grand baby a little bit. Had her Saturday night, watched her for a few hours Monday night, and she just left me again a little bit ago. I am beat! Not really from her, but being outside mowing kind of relaxes you enough to sleep....which I have issues with at night. So, was hoping to sleep tonight. But, I have a daughter who has been really good with last minute notices of babysitting. I might have to say No one of these times so I can have some Me time to do my thing, catch up on things, and get ready to work with some more projects. Need to get a few things done with painting, gluing, creating, and a little more creating. Season will be changing, and time to get some of it done to get it listed:)

Well, I do hope this finds everyone having a splendid morning, day, evening....whenever you were able to stop by. One good thing....shoppe is open 24 hours here:) Take care everyone. 

Good Saturday Morning from LilacsNDreams Chit Chat Coffee Shoppe

Welcome to LilacsNDreams Chit~Chat Coffee Shoppe! Glad to see you stopping by, and visiting with me this morning. 

My night ended really good last night. I went over to see a friend of mine I had not seen for a very long time. Was just a pop in visit, but it was good to see her, share some things, and check up on things too. Always good to see a friend, and share some of your excitement of things you have been doing, or that they have been doing too. Time goes to fast, and never enough time for everything, is there? At least we seen each other, got to say Hi, and check up on what we have all been doing with ourselves. 

I am proud of her. She showed an interest with taking pictures, and being creative with photography, doing CDs, and so on. She is a self learner, and now has her own brick and mortar store, and is doing well with things. I am happy for her. I had told her some things of what I had been doing, and how I was changing things, and doing something that I am having fun with, and enjoying. She liked to hear it, and commented I was doing something I liked doing, and was good with. Now....to get some more pieces done, and start getting them out there to sell:)

I hope this finds everyone doing well this Saturday morning with a cup of your favorite wake up drink. Stay cool, and hope it is not too hot for where you all are at. Thanks again for visiting with LilacsNDreams Chit~Chat Coffee Shoppe. You are always welcome to visit, leave a comment, and share with us here too. Have a wonderful Saturday everyone!:)

Good Morning Welcome to LilacsNDreams ChitChat Coffee Shoppe

Good Morning Friends, and hope ya'll got your cup-of-joe in your hand, and starting the morning off good. Me? Coffee really isn't my thing, but sure do enjoy a good cappucino to get the juices started for the morning. In fact, think I might go into town to friend's coffee shop, sit a while, converse, and have me a good cup of cappucino:)

By the way, it is ok to grab a doughnut, cookie, jelly roll, toast, or whatever you desire. I won't tell anyone about them there sweets that are being snuck in:) Here is to wishing ya'll a wonder Happy Hump Day! Best of luck with all you do, and when you can, take a couple of minutes to visit my other pages I have put into this blog:)

Thanks for the visit, and welcome to always comment and share with us here too. 

 

Welcome to LilacsNDreams Chit Chat Coffee Shoppe

Hello, and Welcome to LilacsNDreams Chit~Chat Coffee Shoppe page! Happy to have you here, and glad that you stopped by to visit. 

I wanted to make a quick note to everyone apologizing for any inconvenience you might have experienced during the times of me working with my pages. I have been adding, removing, rearranging, and so on trying to make things a bit more simpler for you, and also for me:)

I had in the right side bar My Blog Pages to Visit, and today have removed that. I worry about things getting cluttered in that bar, and try to maintain things the best I can. So, when you look above, under my banner you will notice that the tabs are there for the pages I now have. Just give them a click, and you will be taken to the page. Whew! Trial, and error, more error, and so on....finally I am able to do what I have been trying to achieve. Each place always has a curve it can throw, got it with blogger as well, but things are looking up now:)

Again, so sorry for any inconvenience this has been to anyone during my "reconstruction" of things. Thanks for understanding, and visiting with me today. Take a look around, and you are always welcome to leave a comment, share something, and so on. Take care eveeryone.

Welcome to LilacsNDreams ChitChat Coffee Shoppe Blog

Good Morning everyone, and Welcome to LilacsNDreams Chit~Chat Coffee Shoppe page! Glad to see you here, and enjoy you visiting with us all here too. I wanted to remind everyone that on the right side of this page is My Blog Pages to Visit list. Due to circumstances with blogger, and what they meant by the 10 pages they allow, misleading is what is was. Anyway, like many other bloggers I have made another way to have the pages I wanted, how I wanted them, and to make them that everyone could interact with the pages. I wanted to work with more than the static pages blogger offered, and so that everyone would be able to share, and comment with things too.

When you get a chance, visit with some of the different pages I have done so far. I have been working so that not everything is on one page, gets boring for some, and of course gets too winded....as we all know I can be sometimes...LOL:)

Thanks for visiting with the Chit~Chat Coffee Shoppe page. Hope you enjoyed, and wishing you all a great day! I hate to run, but I have not been to bed yet, and need to get a little bit of sleep before coming back to work on my blog again. Take care my blogging friends!:)
