Bestie Appreciation

Motor City Monday #8:

Dark, gloomy & lots of rain! My Motor City Monday is a bit different today. This is a stay-in kinda day. But, what will I share with my people? A special letter to one of my favorite fans, Ms. Mona. This is a tribute to you.



Dear Mona: Blogging has been more then writing posts; I’ve met some great friends along the way. I can always count on you for comments and positive suggestions. You’ve contributed to the look of my site more then you realize. Then I found you were a fellow Lilly-lover and I realized we must be sisters. I appreciate your thoughtfulness. My only complaint is that we live to far apart to meet for a morning coffee break. (I know, you prefer tea!)

Great Thrift Find

Feeling Thriftaboulous!

Don’t you feel pleased when finding a fabulous deal while thrifting? This was a Craigslist find. Two rod iron chairs for $35. Very sturdy while providing a traditional look for my small patio space. The cushions needed to be updated and I could foresee something nice.

A new staple gun from Home Depot, and I was packing and ready. Of course I wanted the chic new patio sets that all the fine garden centers offer. However, this look fit our budget. Thanks for looking. Let me know what you think!

Good luck all!
