Another Fun Day

We must be in the mood for Italian food this week at my house! My friend, Heather made Cheese Stuffed Shells recently and I've been wanting to make some ever since reading about hers.


I found the recipe at Allrecipes.com. I added cooked ground beef to the cheese mixture and skipped the mushrooms.




I also made a batch of Strawberry Filled Oatmeal Bars for dessert.


This afternoon we went to a couple of resale stores. Bargain shopping runs in our family. ;0)

I thought I would share the things I found....

I've been looking for a picture for my back patio and I found this sweet picture of a girl feeding some bunnies. Price: $2.99.


These Hallmark terra cotta candles were new in the box. $2.09.


I haven't decided whether to leave these wooden birds on the patio, or bring them inside. $3.00 for the pair.


I also found a Pier One blue and white pitcher ($3.00), crystal candle holders ($1.00ea.) and ceramic coasters. ($2.00)


The coasters have pretty birdhouses on them, and they remind me of my friend, Betty. She just shared pictures of her birdhouses this past week.


My favorite find of the day was a big bag of note cards. There were over 75 cards in the bag and I got them all for $3.00!

A nice collection of Monet and Degas note cards that I'm going to save for our art study.


I love to write letters and the girls have several penpals so we will put these note cards to good use. There was a huge assortment of floral scenes.


I was especially happy to see these vintage Hollie Hobbie note cards....each one with a different scene and little saying.


The girls and Benjamin had lots of fun with Uncle Stephen today. After dinner, they went for a walk, played street hockey and played with a bug vacuum. They ended up vacuuming up crumbs in the kitchen and their own hair! :0)

Thank you for looking at my new treasures!
