The winner of the witch sign from last week is: Anastasia Send me your info and I will mail it right out. This week Teddy chose another spellbook for the giveaway. Bewitched: Tatania's Book of Love Spells. If you can't use it yourself, I am sure you know someone that can! 
An introduction to the magic of love.
It is bound in burgundy suede and looks beautiful on display.
The possibility of the magic of love is there for everyone.
To make magic work you must have a very strong and concentrated mind. Magical transformation is realized by fixing your sights on a matter and drawing it to you, as powerfully as a magnet. This book will teach you how to achieve this.

I am very excited today. Tonight is the first NFL preseason football game. I am mad about football! The whole family goes off to the game but my tradition is to stay home with Teddy, build a good luck fire in my fire pit and settle in to watch the game. 
So even in this raging heat my fire pit will look like this tonight!
I neglected to show a few of my thrift finds from the other day. I am a sucker for baskets, especially old ones. I picked this one up for a dollar. This has to be from the 50's because we had one just like this when I was little. We stored our toys in it.
I vacillated over this candle holder. I finally bought it for 2.99. I think once it is cleaned and adorned with the right candles it will make a nice Fall piece.
This is interesting. I paid 4.95 for it thinking it is a yarn holder for knitting. I was going to paint it.
But once I started cleaning it, I saw that it is hand made. The colors are good and you can see all of the original nail heads so I decided to use it the way it is. Sometimes you just have to slow yourself down from whipping out the spray paint. This actually looks like it could have been used as a manger for a large nativity set. I will definitely use it for yarn.
This is an example of a piece of furniture that really needed to be painted. One more sanding on the top and it will be complete.
This yellow casserole was 99 cents.
And I found this cute little bittersweet sign.
If anyone has any cold weather they can send to me, I would really appreciate it. I'm melting!!!!

Oh and sorry no cool weather here in Michigan... it's hot and humid, blah! I'm ready for fall:)
Congrats Anastasia on a fantastic win!
No cold weather here either, balmy, hot and rainy, but I am sure it will be here before we know it.
Hugs to Teddy.
I love the yarn holder. I'm trying to send cool weather over to you, but it is very resistant :( Hope the football was fun.
I never saw bewitched, but this spell book looks real nice.
That candle holder is reaaly nice! And that thing You will use for yarn is beautiful! I came to think on babies when I saw it, but it is to small to be a cradle I guess.
I hope it was a good game!
Have a great day now!
Christer.
Must be where I live.
Please enter me in the contest Teddy.
Have a great week.
Peace,
Chris........
The weather has been so hot here too that it was 86 degrees here today and it almost felt downright chilly after a couple weeks of 100 degree days.
Cool fire pit, I would like to have that here. Would be nice to sit outside by the fire and listen to the coyotes howl at night I think.
