{ What I Want Wednesday: Furniture }

So I really need some super cute bedside tables and I really don't want to pay $5,000 for each one. I have been searching craigslist for something I can refinish...no luck thus far! I'm looking for something shaped like this little cutie from Pottery Barn. Too bad I can't just buy these....dang you Pottery Barn and your unattainable prices!

The next item I am very much searching for as an amazing amoire to house my tv in my front room! Agian I really want to find maybe one that I can refinish myself. I really like the looks of this one though...

These cookies are to die for! Seriously if you like cranberries you have to try them! You can go here to get the recipe!

{ Freebie Friday }

So this week I will be giving away a super fun and colorful set of melamine mixing bowls and a colorful set of measuring cups/spoons. Both set are way fun! The measuring spoon/cups are amazin because they actually flatten down so they make storing them a breeze! This is how it's going to work...leave a comment between today and Sunday night at 5pm and tell me what you love most about this time of year and you will be entered into te drawing!

{ Thursday Quote: Mother Teresa }

*** People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; forgive them anyways.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; be kind anyways.

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; give the world the best you've got anyway.

You see in the final analysis, it is between you and God; it was never between you them anyway. ***
