show/tell, thrift finds and a bladder infection

gizzy has a bladder infection... im sooo thankful thats all it is and nothing worse!! so im on my way to pick him up at the vet! cant wait. sure missed him last night, had only sadie on my lap, i think she missed him too!
i was reading gayles blog http://themiddlesister.blogspot.com/ the other day and it reminded me of some little quilts i had made years ago and a cathedral window i had started as a wall hanging and kept going...well at the time..i havent really worked on it much for starting it 20 years ago! maybe i will keep it out in eye site. its funny how the fabrics kind of date things..
All of a sudden im having problems trying to put pictures on my blog so am now on my phone.
Gheez...and i dont know why the pictures are so blurry when posted from my phone?
I guess i was into hearts back then.. More of a star person now.

 

And here are a couple thrift shop finds...i love vintage christmas and will keep these! Santa salt shaker .50, santa magnet 1.00

I think angie wants the plate holder 6.99, ill probably keep the 1.00 basket...

 

Soo cute! Napkin/ s&p holder .75!

  And jeff holding gizzy!!

 

Enjoy your day!         jody    Next post.. Jana finished her tree skirt!!
