Hi Everyone
Happy Monday
Since I let you all know about my struggles with
~Ivy Topiaries~
I thought you would get a big kick out of the gift I received yesterday from my sweet neighbor
{yes she knows I have issues with ivy}}
{yes she knows I have issues with ivy}}
It looks so pretty in the dining room
I have my fingers crossed it will grow
maybe if I just ignore it and water it once a week
it will decide it likes it here

Saturday it rained almost all day so
My husband decided it was time he cleaned out the garage
he was so excited when he
found this
rusty vintage light fixture
♥
What is funny and a little strange is neither one of us can remember
where this came from or
how long it has been in our garage
{Love}

We have a huge glass jar that we lovingly refer to as our
"found money"
jar, it is where we put all the loose change and pennies we have in
our pockets each week
{the laundry is where I usually find a lot of spare change too}
last year we saved 284 dollars and donated it to
Children's Hospital
such a simple way to give
we are always surprised at how much we have collected
It is so fun to dump all the change out on the floor
separate the quarters, dimes, nickels and penny's then we start adding it all up
This year we have 2 jars and our family goal
is to try to beat the previous years total
The rusty vintage light fixture he found now has a new home
next to the
found money jar

What a great forgotten Treasure that Light Fixture is... I love Rusted Aged Items. We discovered a fabulous old Candle Sconce in one of the outbuildings of this old House that the previous owners had left behind {among other fab Treasures, thankfully they had been packrats of Vintage & Antique Treasures}... it couldn't have been more perfect if I'd chosen it myself, so very "Me" and its one of the pieces that we discovered that really I felt a special connection to.
ReplyDeleteYour Found Money Jug is a wonderful idea.

That is a great way to save money for a charity! Very cool light fixture~looks like cast iron too.

Oh Wow!! What a beautiful find you got from the garage! Don't you just love when that happens?!!
ReplyDeleteWe have a jar as well for loose change. I think your jar is much better than ours though.
Hope you have a beautiful day.
