Garage Sale Saturday

Don't you just love a good garage sale!

Well...our fairgrounds has one every so often

and it's my favorite...because it's not just

a bunch of junk...you can find some pretty good stuff!

I can't even begin to tell you how excited I was to

find this Silver French Fireplace screen! 

This was the second time that I had run across it...

the first time I let sweet husband talk me out of buying it!

And then of course it's all I could think about for months after...

I guess it was just meant to come home with me..

because the lady still had it for sale...

can you believe no one had bought it!

These 4 prints are completely different then

anything in my house...but I thought they were

really interesting! 

This is only two of them..the other two are similar

Now if only I had a Library in my house

decorated in English Hunting design i'd be all set!

But I like them...so i'll find a spot for them...somewhere

Now this print fits in here just perfect...and I have a spot for it

And we're back to the English library look...

i'm really starting to wonder if my taste are changing again?

Anyways....I thought this leather bag was really beautiful

and had a lot of storage potential!



You just never know what will strike your

interest at a garage sale...

Happy Hunting

Happy 1st day of Fall

Yippeee......

it's officially the first day of Fall!

I'm going mum....gourd...and

pumpkin shopping

this afternoon!

How about you?

Photos from Country Living...except the first one and I just can't find

who to give credit to!  If it's yours let me know...it's a beautiful picture!



The Pineapple Room on Facebook

Sooooo.....

I thought it would be really fun 

to have a Facebook page

to go along with

The Pineapple Room blog!

A place where I could share maybe

just a little something that I

was doing....or something that

caught my attention that day...

or a new recipe....or...

well you get the idea!

So please join me on Facebook!

There is a button on the right hand side

of my blog that will get you there!

If you go right now you can catch a

sneak peek of what sweet husband

is doing with all of those green shutters!

See you on Facebook!

One thing always leads to another

Sorry i've been MIA lately...

I realized it had been to long 

when my Dad asked me if I had

given up the blog....Opps

With school starting, buying a car,

going away for the holiday...blah blah blah

the weeks flew by me!

Anyways....we've been very busy around here!

It's funny how one little thing can lead to another...

Well I guess in this instance I don't mean little...

I mean HUGE....

While we were away in Sea Island this month

my girlfriend Sondra spotted this at an Antique Show...

She really has the knack for finding cool stuff!

I love my Christmas present...Thanks Sondra!!!

My girlfriends Sondra, Ann and I had a great time

"stealing" sweet husbands truck and going to pick

this up from the show....Girl Power!!!

Even though Ann (who was brave enough to drive the big truck)

said.....let's hope this is a straight shot...

there will be no backing up or parking of this truck! 

Don't you just love girlfriends who stick with you and help

you carry out crazy schemes...no matter what!

Well once we got it back to Florida I realized it needed a

great spot...which lead to us looking around the yard

and realizing it really needed some serious help.

So begin the 2 week process of cleaning up and cleaning out!

Then while at Ikea....I stumbled across these beauty's...

For $14.99 you can't beat these lanterns..they
are awesome!  And I just knew I wanted to
place them on the back steps!
Well wouldn't you know it...but when I went
to put them out there I realized the back steps
had rotted and were caving in so they
 needed to be replaced.. to work sweet husband went.

 While I love the shabby look of them right now...they are
going to be sanded and stained to match
 the existing surrounding wood.
But for now...I few pumpkins and flowers won't hurt!

And do you remember the shutters
 that sweet husband brought home?

Well he did something really cool with them...

I would show you but my mother claimed the first one

and loaded it up in her truck before I could even take a picture!

But he's building more for me to put in the garden

and I promise to show you soon!

So you see how one thing can lead to another....

But the good news is the back porch and yard

are finally getting some well needed TLC.

Just in time for (fingers crossed)

some lovely fall weather!
