Thrifty Finds and A Baby Update!

Just in case any of you don’t know this already,  I am in Florida awaiting the birth of my first grandbaby.
I went to Alex’s appointment with her this morning.  I have two children, but I didn’t know what membrane sweeping was!!!  Without going into detail, that has been done, so we are crossing our fingers that Mason will be making his debut in the next couple of days.
Alex didn’t feel great after the procedure this morning so she didn’t go into work right away.  After a nap she felt better so I drove her to her office and I brought my laptop.  I didn’t expect to have the opportunity to post again, but this is allowing me to get one more in!!!!
So, here are some fun little items that I picked up in the last couple of weeks.

I found this delightful, vintage baby dish for Mason.
The little screw cap is even porcelain.


Does anyone remember eating from one of these sweet dishes?

How cute is this????

Yep, it even has some wonderful crackles that I love so much in vintage china.

I adore sheep.  I remember vividly, a childhood toy that was a little rubber lamb that squeaked.  I wish I still had it.

Alex has decorated Mason’s room with rabbits, so this is perfect.

This pink wood and tin wall pocket came from the same lovely antique store where I found Mason’s feeding dish.  The owner was lovely and gave me a good discount on both items!

I am linking to Linda’s “ Nifty Thrifty Tuesdays” @ “Coastal Charm”.  She has a lovely blog and this is a fun party,  so go check out more bargains!
I am also linking to Rhoda’s party, “Todays Thrifty Treasures” @ Southern Hospitality.   Her blog is wonderful, too.

Thank you for your prayers and comments during the last couple of weeks.  They really are greatly appreciated.

  1. Have I told you lately how jealous I am of you...grandmother to be;)! I want nothing more! My precious daughter is in a wonderful relationship and I say waaaayyy to often...when are you getting married? I am sooooo terrible! I loved being a mom so much and I can't wait for those grandbabies to come! I also NEED someone else to shop for...hehe!

    Seriously...I am beyond thrilled for you and my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family as you await the blessed event!

    Enjoy!
    XOXO

    The dish is DARLING and I adore the name Mason!

  3. Oh my goodness, Rhonda! Very exciting that he will be here soon! I don't remember that exact dish, but when my daughter was little they made plastic ones where you could put the hot water to keep the food warm. I don't think I used it much, but I remember it. Love the little wood and tin pocket ~ I'll bet you could come up with a few ideas for that.

  6. Rhonda, what an adorable dish. I had a cup growing up with a cute little image in the bottom & still remember it to this day.

    Congrats on the new baby! How exciting. My cousin named her youngest Mason, great name.

  11. Hi Rhonda!

    Congratulations on your first grand-baby! Hope all goes well with the delivery! Keep us posted as you are able.

    I have a divided dish like yours that used to be my mom's! But mine does not have the metal outer piece, nor the stopper. It is a treasure! I have a picture posted of it on my blog from this past White Wednesday: http://scrapinjust4fun.blogspot.com/2010/03/white-wednesday_30.html

    Linda

  13. Any day now!! I was lucky enough to pass on the membrane sweeping- it still makes me shudder! (I did, however have 2 failed inductions- so maybe it would have been beneficial!) Can't wait to hear more- hopefully the next post will have a beautiful baby and happy mama and grand-mama in it! :)
