Good Morning Fellow Bloggers and Chit Chatters

Hello, and Welcome to Chit Chat Coffee Shoppe with LilacsNDreams!:) Glad to see you here, and happy you could stop by. Whew! Isn't that the truth! I would like mornings better if they would start later myself too. It has gotten cooler here over the weekend, 1 morning I turned the heat on for just a few hours to get the cool out of the house, and you know. When it gets like this out with the leaves following, cooler weather, football games, and all of that.....when it comes morning I would just like to stay in bed, and curl with my blanket. Or, sit in the chair with that good old hot cup in my hand, blanket thrown over my feet, and kicked up reclining. 

Not a whole lot going on this way right now. Just working on getting cars winterized....mechanics like me now:) And, getting the house prepared for it too. Days are shortening a bit, and seem to tire a bit more lately too. Gotta love it, right? Hope all are well with where you are. Thanks again for stopping by, and don't be afraid to share, leave a comment, or drop me a line if you feel like it. LOVE hearing from everyone!:) Have a super week everyone.

Welcome Back to Chit Chat Coffee Shoppe

Good Morning, and Welcome back to Chit Chat Coffee Shoppe everyone! Glad to see you here, and happy that you could stop by. 

I don't know about ya'll, but this picture above sure hit the spot for me the past few days, actually for the month! I am always slow to get started in the morning, and then by the time I do really get moving, and motivated....most of the day seems to have disappeared! Ever have that happen yourself? How frustrating sometimes, isn't it? 

Well, I am finally back to having a little bit of Me time now. This past 1-2 months has been soooo hectic! Daughter moves to TX, I helped her husband out a bit while he finished things here before she came back to get him....they both have jobs down there too (whew). Then, son signing up, and joining the army....some of the paper work, and records they need is amazing for this too. In between the contractor has been here to measure the windows, and then the landlord came with the second visit when they looked at the windows on the house here. Contractor back again to measure for the porch that they want to put on this house. Sister had a birthday to celebrate which I seem to babysit her and her husband, and played taxi service for everyone. Hubby had a birthday just last week which he was able to be home for so that we could go out for supper, and enjoy a beautiful day:)

Then.....hubby got me a new car for our anniversary. Nice, shiny black, only had 11 miles on it when I left the lot, and 3 weeks later a deer hit me on the side of it. Tore out the mirror after his head slammed it into the window, his body flew against the side of the car and dented in the back passenger door and handle, he dented the back panel slightly, and then his foot hit the wheel. He flew around the back of the car, went down in the ditch, and headed into the field. I have been wondering....would our insurance consider this a hit and run you think?:) I will be asking them this next week....LOL:) I am not joking, but this is the 1st time in all my years of driving I have ever been hit with a deer. Usually it is hubby that has a problem, our daughter, or someone else....not me. So, my first time, and with our new car. I had a rental for a couple of weeks, but was soooo happy to get the new car back, and try to get use to it again.

Having a cup of joe has been helpful, a cappacino has been great when I get that, and it sure has been tempting with other drinks too....after the way things have been lately.

But, I am back, trying really really hard to get things all caught up again, and into a schedule of things again. Been doing a little thrifting, painting, gluing, repurposing, and different things like that when I have found the time. 

Again, thanks everyone for visiting, and stopping in to see me. Make sure to check out my Thrift Store Junkies page to get caught up with some of the things I have found while thrifting, and then see my Second Time Treasures page that shows a few of those thrifting items that have been repurposed, painted, and etc. What fun!:) Take care everyone, and see you again soon.

 

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 from Chit Chat Coffe Shoppe for LilacsNDreams

Good Morning, and WELCOME to Chit Chat Coffee Shoppe! Hope you got a good strong cup of joe in your hand, and ready for the day! Ummm....I have not been to bed yet, and if I don't get there soon, I might just look like that little guy above....yikes! That is scarey. 

We are now going into the weekend, and I hope all of you will be able to enjoy it with all you have planned, or intend to do. I never make plans anymore. Hubby gets home for 1-2 nights out of the weekend, and is gone again. Little while longer, and schedules will soon change again. That means winter is here at that time, or on it's way...urgh! I so do not like the snow anymore!

Anyway, maybe later today...Friday....I can sneak away for a bit, and get some thrifting done for a few pieces/items to work with. Got the glue, should get a little more paint and some primer, AND some mod podge too. Got some ideas for that use too. Anyway, visit my other blog pages from the top tabs when you can. See what is being shared with those, pictures, and of course the links to everything for me too. Thanks so much for visiting. Take care, and Happy Weekend Everyone!:)

 

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:)
