Wow! It got cold all the way down to Florida! I had to wear a coat today! It was in the 50s! lol So let’s go out to the lanai and take some pics!
I got an early birthday package from my sister and she sent me these pretty shell boxes! I had 2 squares ones and she sent me 2 round ones!
And I finally found one of the wicker bottles that I have admired at the Antique stores AND on everyone’s blogs! This one was 75 cents!
I almost teared up! heehee!
And won’t this sweet picture be cute in my doll room?
It says “YOUNG IDEAS” Original by RMI Nursery Plastics, INC. 137 East 25th St., N.Y.D. on the back! 75 cents! Oh, I LOVE it!
And I know what my hubby will say when he sees these….’what in the world are you going to do with those?’ But they were so cute…and in their little holder, too!
A splurge….$1.95 !
I’m linking to these fun parties!
I’m joining....Vintage Thingie Thursday
and Thursday’s Favorite Things!
I’m linking to Honey’s Potpourri Party, too!
Thanks to everyone that has written to me about my computer crash! We did not lose anything! My hubby had just done a back up on the external hard drive so he said everything has been saved. Of course it is taking a lot of time to transfer it to my new computer. It’s a challenge! Have a Happy Day!

Hope you have a wonderful day!!!

Great finds Diane. Love your shell boxes. I'll take 50 any day! LOL. Happy Birthday!! either late or early!
I like the quilt on your lanai - so cheerful. Where in FL are you? I'm in Naples.
thanks for sharing photos of your treasure. I love getting cool unique treasure too. I recently picked up an old tablecloth (I love tablecloths that look vintage) and I also found a Santa jack in the box that I have to fix up a bit but the song it plays is beautiful ("Here Comes Santa Clause") and he pops out just fine. I also found an old wooden breadbox I need to paint when I have the time to do that.

You had a very successful treasure hunt this time. The picture is cute and will look perfect in your doll room. The the shell boxes are very pretty and how nice to have a sister who knows your tastes. Have a great day dear friend!---- Shannon
I think it is just as warm here in Missouri as it is in Florida. Strange weather. Richard from My Old Historic House.
Oh you big baby. Bundle up & head for Daytona :D lol just kidding. It's even been too cold for me and I'm hardcore. You always find the neatest things at the thrift stores in your area. I'm hoping to get to Webster at least once this winter.
Take good care <3
What an inviting lanai, Diane. I love all the wicker and seashells. :)
You could use your new splurge as coasters. They looked like coasters to me when I saw them.
Have a great rest of the week. So glad you didn't lose anything with the computer crash.
Cheers,

You've got some great treasures! The shell boxes are great! I have a few and I love them! The coasters are very cool! The weather everywhere seems odd this year! Enjoy your time in Florida!
Thanks for visiting!

Oh looking at all your great finds makes me want to go out to the thrift stores right now!
Blessings, Joanne
Hi! What awesome finds! I love the aluminum coaster set - I've never seen one in a holder. Your bottle is great, too! I collect them, I started over 20 years ago, but have not seen a new one in years! I guess they're a hot item now. :)
So glad you stopped by Revisionary life - thanks for your sweet comment. I'm glad to find you, too!

Hi Diane, love all your goodies. They always make me smile. So colorful, too.
It is supposed to be in the 70's this weekend. Yay!!
Barb ♥
You always find such awesome deals!
Oh hammered aluminum coasters! What a bargain!
Your shell boxes are beautiful. You have such a knack for arranging items and making a pretty display.
What a treat to receive a gift as sweet as this!
Thank you for sharing at Potpourri Friday!
I would love to be in the 50º range!!! Like your shell boxes and your little demi-johns. Stay warm and think of me in the 20º range today. LOL
I'm glad you had an external hard drive, Diane, and did not lose photos, etc, when your compter
The shell boxes are sp pretty and perfect for your table in the Lanai
Your find the best goodies at the Thrift stores --I love the wicker bottle!
Oh I just love those shell boxes, they look wonderful on your lanai! It's much colder here in Wisconsin...but your pictures warmed me right up!
Hugs,
Laura
Love the little nursery picture for the doll room.
Love your lanai, looks so nice and warm. I have never been to any of the warmer states or seen the beach. Love the sea shells and the silver set of coasters are so neat. Wish I was some place warmer right now. All of my coworkers go on vacations to the beach every year and sometimes twice a year. My husband is ill and never was much for traveling and now he can't travel. He says vacations are dumb.
He says you take time off to get things done at home and that is all I get to do when I take a week off.
Oh well, a girl can dream I guess.

Love all your shell boxes. You found some great items and such a splurge for those coasters...not! Cute! hugs, Linda
Happy birthday to you...a little early. What a thoughtful sister you have to send you something just perfect. Love all your pretty treasures. So much fun when we find something we've been looking for.
It got into the teens here earlier this week. So far, I've not worn a coat, but just get by with fleece pullovers. I hate wearing coats! Looks like sweet treasures for pennies, LOL.
You are so right about the demi johns bottle they use to been seen at sales now that are no where to be found. Love the that you found one.
happy birthday,
Lisa
Hi Diane, your post is great. I love the shell boxes and ever since I saw the bottles with the wicker I have wanted one or more! too. Nothing so far and I want a bargain. Lucky you! Love the photo shoot.
XO, Jeanne
Just adore your finds I wish I could be so lucky. Hopping from Katherine's Corner first time visitor. TFS lovely blog
You always find the neatest things. I'm loving your shell boxes and that sweet picture is going to be perfect in your doll room. I know I'd find a special spot for it in my craft room. Stay warm!
The last few days it has been high winds and in the 20's. At least today it felt like it was Spring with the temps in the 40's! I can't believe you found that demi-john for .75 cents! I have been looking for one while thrifting for 2 years now and haven't found one in decent shape or decent price! Thank you for joining TTF and have a wonderful weekend!
Wow, 75 cents was a good buy. Nice finds and gifts.
Goodness, 75cents for tha demi-john! Such great finds, wow! Wish I found things like that around and at those prices. Thank you for your kind visit and have a wonderful New Year.
Happy Kings Day!

What wonderful gifts you received from your sister! And it is way too cold for me in SC! Wish I were in Florida enjoying some warmer temps.
Hello Diane
Your porch looks warm and cozy - the patchwork quilt is divine- Love your coasters. I could use those tomorrow, as we light twelve candles and I am using tea lights so need a base.
My best

Wow..You are doing great on the thrift store finds and it has been in the 50's here today and supposed to be tomorrow too so I guess we got part of your warmth huh? I think I might go out in the garage and go through some stuff tomorrow after we get back from town.
Hoe it is better weather for you tomorrow :)
So Cool! I love the shell boxes and the wicker bottle too. What great finds.
Love the bottle and the cookie molds! You got some great finds! :) A sweet gift from you sis too!
Hugs,
What great finds you have there! We have some shell boxes that we found in a charity shop once upon a time. They're very pretty. Love your little sunroom. It looks very cosy! xxoo
you found some awesome treasures indeed! I remember my Grandmother having coasters similar to the ones in your photo! Love your cozy room and all the treasures in it!
Your sunroom looks very warm and inviting, filling with such beautiful treasures.
Glad all with the computer crash had a good ending. Your lanai looks great, love the addition of the sweet little shell boxes from your sister. You know you hit the jackpot with the jugs! Bet you were having a chuckle. What a sweet find with the picture. I love it too. Hope your holidays were wonderful and wishing you and yours the best for the New Year……….

A coat in Florida? Next thing you know you'll need one of those bright orange snow shovel... Have a great week.
I absolutely love the coasters and holder....so cute!
Happy early birthday!! The shell boxes are lovely. Weather here is cold but I'm waiting for the snow to arrive again. It came early and then poof gone. I need it! I need my four seasons, giggle. Thank you for participating in the Thursday Favorite things hop. I hope you made some new bloggy friends. Hoping your weekend is a sweet one xo P.S. did you enter the pink poodle giveaway?
This weather is so wacky! Saw there was going to be a freeze in Anna Maria! Yikes. We lost many coconut palms last year due to freeze. Had to cut down 8 on our property. :(
Oh my gosh, those shell boxes are just beautiful! I love how you have them all grouped together, so much impact. I've sold some of these in my booth and wished I'd had them back! Thanks so much for your sweet visits! xoxo
You have such beautiful stuffs there. I love those!
Well, I like the ole bamboo couch you have in this post. Had one when we were kids!
Cute things! I'm having fun with your blog! And Happy Birthday!
