I've looked into some really fancy schmancy web developing ...

fancy schmancy on line shoppe ....  but for now
I'm powering thru blogger and trying to maximize its'
pages and tabs features.

I've sold my fair share of goods

little page
powered by blogger and paypal

with that said ...
and now I'm really giddy ...

THRIFT'N ON A THURSDAY ... LINK PARTY #9

I will be away from my desk all day tomorrow,
so I started the link party a bit early

THE hunting  SEASON IS UPON US
did I say the season is upon us?

saddle up all of you
 thrifty cowgirls ...

whaddya' think of these 
fabulous
bargains?


join in at the end and show off your
thrift'n finds!





this chickie hunts and gathers up and down the California coast
snoop around to see all of her $1 treasures ...




I have never seen creativity put to such good use
as at
MAMIE JANES

this kindred spirit repurposes every thrifty morsel she finds
and takes the most stunning pictures, to boot
peek in 
and say hi to Jane!


sizzling sensations
over at some new friends of mine ... 
they show their hot wares all over the midwest!

(we met at an Illinois blogger bash)


love old books??


who doesn't?
my dear friend Lynn has been faithfully reading my blog for six years ...
you MUST
stop over and catch a glimpse of her old books



~~~

naturally, I've been thrift'n too ...
it's what I do ... 


take a peek
and then tell me which treasure you think might be headed for a makeover?










linky guide lines:
this can be the icky part ... many of you play along
 but 
 fail to link back with a visable link
  ... this is not about pride my little cowgirls, but about endorsing each other!
please be so kind as to create a visable link back to 
savvycityfarmer




link the URL to the actual blog post

POTTING SHEDS ...


I believe
I BELIEVE
I believe
in a squeaky chanting voice

spring can't be far away, right?
once February rolls around my heart starts humming
a little song ... way down deep inside ...

if there's any time in my 24 hours for daydreaming,
my thoughts head toward my shed ... and the frozen perennials
struggling to make their way back around 
for spring and summer pleasure.

take a cue and some inspiration from these pinterest images ...
I searched potting shed
and this is what sprouted...




 hhmmm ... I have most all of this wonderful junk laying around here
just needs me a zinc wrapped cubbie ...




 collections en masse
make a serious statement ...
terra cotta pots grace almost
every garage sale ...
haggle til you can't haggle ...
buy them all
love, love, love the dirt floor
I'm a born and raised Hoosier farmgirl ...



 in all of my daydreams, there's a greenhouse


be still my HEART

 in this small delight, you can say your prayers while you pot



repurpose
repurpose
hhhmm ... wheels a turnin'


 use what you have ...
 keep adding elements, until
you achieve the look


find a corner
and start potting!!


REALLY?



do you have a fave?

"HEY ... YOU SEEN THIS YET" ... TWITTER SPAM


Twitter Buttons



or not ...




... I joined the ranks of twitter-ers
a few weeks ago
it seemed harmless ...
 social butterfly-ing ...
networking for the sake of
business and all 
~~~
sigh... I'm sinking fast into the
quagmire
of
"why did I ever do this? "


instantly
I was hacked
and started receiving 'spammed' tweets
from most all my followers ... 
may I say, respectable and honorable friends!

okay ladies, aren't you quite sick
of it all?
I guess someone is getting their jollies
coining the phrase,
in very poor English I might add:
"hey ... you seen this yet?
horrible rumors about you going around online ..."


and of course a bogus website attached
#I'mmadasahornet
why?
because there's not a darn thing to be done ... 


I reported it ...
went to the help desk ...
changed my password
yadda
yadda
yadda
are ya with me here?


please know that if you "seen this"
come across as twitter from me ...
it's origin is, well
your guess is as good as mine ...

JEANNE D'ARC LIVING



We're on the threshold of spring, aren't we?
the mild winter (thus far) 
in the midwest make ones hopes really high ...
time passes quickly though

... as long as the earth remains there
will be summer and winter
seed time and harvest
rain and snow (Genesis)

I'm filled with delight ... in the February issue 
Spring will be a major focus ...
reserve your copy today
(many of you have already)
quanities are limited ...


breathe in
breathe out
the earth is groaning for Spring!




be blessed this beautiful winter weekend

joining in at
