Pretty new things

I wanted to share two pretty new things I got recently. First, last Saturday hubby took me yard sale shopping. Living on unemployment doesn't leave much leftover for spending, but last week we did go to a few yard sales and boy did we get some great deals! Mark got a fishing pole for $5, and I got this set -complete with reversible comforter, 2 shams and 2 throw pillows for $10! I love the country look and the quality seems to be pretty good, too.

Then yesterday we were at a local Christian outlet store and I saw this beautiful Bible cover. I wasn't going to get because it costs $14, but Mark said I deserved something nice for a change and told me to go ahead and get it! My old Bible cover was a simple black affair, and had some staining on the back from laying it down all the time. This is more embellishment than I would normally like in a Bible cover but it is pretty and feminine and, more importantly, makes me smile every time I get my Bible out!

I love the comforter set!! It's so pretty. Just wanted to let you know that I had to go out of town and was gone longer than I planned so I just missed the end of July. I will be sending you off a package tomorrow that has the other thing I was going to send in July and your first gift for August in it.Hope you enjoy!!

The colors on your bed set are so pretty, I think something like that would be just delightful!!! Your bible cover is really pretty as well. I like the button on it, it kind of makes the cover stand apart from other styles. Very pretty.
