Blogs LOADED with Ads.....Thoughts??....

Personally.....
It's just gotten out of hand!  I click on a blog I used to enjoy and it takes so long to load that by the time it does, I only look at the pictures and could care less what they have to say!  Sorry! It's such a pain to me.  Looking at blogs is what I tend to do first thing in the morning. It's like reading the paper to some people, catching up on the news, only it's catching up on some really cool houses of people I don't even know.  I used to enjoy it, but of late I find that I am so tired of waiting for the blog to load because there are so many Ads that have to load.  It's a time waster to me!  I know these wonderful bloggers are getting paid to have these ads....but, come on, really!  What happened to having fun and being yourself in your own blog?  Seriously, alot of these wonderful bloggers are now being dictated by the Ads that "pay them" to post something that they may not have even wanted to post to begin with, just to get the almighty $$$!  I'm BORED with those blogs!  Yes I look, but I am a much better Blog READER when I click on a blog that loads immediately!  It's like a breathe of fresh air to me!
Is it not enough that our magazines are loaded to death with Ads, that we now have to deal with our favorite blogs being full of them too??  Just saying!

P.S. All thoughts are of my own, I am not being paid in any way for my opinions!

As always Have a Delightful Day and Thank you for taking the time to stop by!

Flea Market or Home Goods??....

Good Morning!

Fall is finally here....

I absolutely love everything Fall!

I am slowly getting my Home decorated for the season.

This was a very busy summer for us.  My FIL,

as some of you may know fractured his C1 vertebrae in

the beginning of June, so I spent most of the summer caring

for him. He lives 1 1/2 hrs from us, so I wasn't Home much!

But, we did make all but one of the flea markets not too

far from us this summer.  The last one was the end of September.

 I've admired the olive buckets I've seen on a few blogs

and had never seen them around that I can remember anyway.

But, on one particular visit to the flea market I was the

lucky girl to snatch this up and put it in my basket.  I had learned

at the first flea that we attended and I passed on something I 

REALLY wanted and thought I would come back and

get it later.....well, it wasn't there and so I learned

to grab and get when you see something.

 I had more women stop me that day commenting on

my purchase and what great condition it was in.  It was 

so funny, some didn't know what it was, but found it

very interesting!

 It's in perfect condition with just the right amount of rust.

I love it right behind our sofa and when the light shines

through at night it's just perfect!

Then a few weeks later I had a rare chance to stop by

Home Goods.  Low and behold I strolled down an aisle 

of Fall decor....my favorite, and spotted this beauty!

 At first I just picked it up and though how odd it 

was that Home Goods would have an olive bucket. 

I wasn't sure that it was "real".....

so I sat it back down, started to walk away and

then decided I'm just going to put that in my cart

and walk around the store for a bit.  I sent a picture of it

to my husbands cell and he called me and said

"Get it!"

 So it came Home with me!

I love that man!

When I got it Home and really took a good look

at it, it still had cobwebs and some sort of dead 

grassy looking stuff stuck on the inside. My husband

is the one that pointed out the patch job that was done

on this side.  It is way rusty, but it's perfect in every way!

I even had a couple of women stop me while 

shopping in Home Goods that day and they

said, "What a COOL wire basket!"

Ha, ha....

They asked if I was going to put it outside and

fill it with pumpkins?

I said, "Oh No this will not be going outside,

it might get ruined!"  

Besides, I had the perfect pumpkin that I also

picked up at the flea market just waiting!

I have more fun flea market finds yet to share so I hope

you stop again! If you had a chance to stop by yesterday

I did a quick post to share that our daughter Amanda

started a blog. She purchased her first home and 

we've been helping her get it ready for her big move.

It's going to be so cute! 

Here's a link to her blog if you'd like to follow her progress.

I'm curious, what have you found at Home Goods or some other

store that was the real deal?

As always Thanks for stopping by!

I hope you have a delightful Fall day!

There's a New Blog in Town.....

My daughter Amanda started her own blog!

Please take a peek and say Hi....

As always, Have a Delightful Day!
