Rusty Vintage Charm

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}}

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}
it's

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
