I am joining Diane at, A Picture is Worth a 1000 Words, for 2nd Time Around Tuesday and Linda at, Coastal Charm, for Nifty thrifty Tuesdays. These meme's are both a great source of thrifty fun. Please visit Diane and Linda for more great bargains to share. Who doesn't love a great find that someone wants to sell or no longer wanted and gave to a thrift store. Go THRIFT!!!
Many people know that I am a poodle lover. I own a poodle pup and many poodle collectibles. I have a reason to show you my many poodle pins that I display on a pillow. All of the poodles are thrifty buys, antiques purchases or gifts. Mostly thrifty buys.
Now for the reason to share my poodle pillow today. I have a gift from a blogging friend I recently met who comes from Canada. She is the best friend of Claudie at, Bubblin' Over, and her names is Julie at, This is How I see the World.
Today I received a lovely card and a sweet poodle to add to my pillow from Julie. Thank you my sweet friend, you made my day. Here it is... already the center of attention on my pillow.
Look how proud my new addition to my poodle pillow looks right in the center where she belongs. Her name is Cheri'.
This collection is the most fun for a poodle lover like me. I hope you enjoy it too.
Look at this sweet card.
Inside the card is the sweetest note and a Bovine art photo.
I appreciate your thoughtfulness so much.
I can't close this post without sharing a photo of my real poodle Cheri' aka CC.
Julie and Claudie visited me in March on a birthday celebration trip for Claudie. Julie took this photo of Cheri' with her new toy from Claudie. Her absolute 'favorite' toy. Cheri' thanks you Claudie.
Love you both to the moon and back.

I squealed in delight when I saw all of your fabulous poodle pins!!! It was so sweet of Julie to send you that new pin. I LOVE Ms. Cheri'.....she is just too CUTE!!!!!
I was going to tell you our grass is a bit of grass and mostly weeds too on our acre. I told Alan I want to get the grass fuller and nicer in front of the new backyard bed, around the pool area, and where Lexi goes out to her trampoline. I want what I call "barefoot" grass with no stickers! I don't think it would be too hard to fertilize and work on that part. We will see......
Hope you have a wonderful Tuesday. We finally got a really good downpour yesterday....we definitely needed it. ♥

Oh, I love your cute poodle pins, Jeanne! And the one Julie sent is just perfect! They are just as cute as can be! And look at that precious Cheri! She has such attitude and is about the cutest thing going! Love her expressions! LOL!
Yeah, they are pretty swell, those two Canadians! Love them much! Love you, too...
XO,
Sheila :-)

And I meant to write (but couldn't figure out how to edit it to say), Cheri looks like no one better be messin' with Auntie Claudie's toy! Cheri means business when it comes to that toy. She's daring anyone to come near it. LOL!
XO,
Sheila :-)

Oh I'm so proud of our Julie Jeanne. She did send you the bovine card & the cute poodle pin. I know she told me she was going to send it to you. The vintage pin fits right in with the rest of the gang. I have 7 real live ones, you have 15 little "pinny" ones lol is that a word???
Just got back from driving sister home. I picked her up at 10:00 this morning. She made me a nice grilled sandwich with ham and mustard, and fed me some nice grapes while driving to the cottage. She knows I'm not a morning person, so I think she went all out lol She also brought some sandwiches for mom and Aunty. She had little drinks with plastic glasses, muffins all wrapped up, and little pats of butter with crackers and cheese. She totally thought of everything. We sat out on the deck, while watching all the boats and jet skis go by. We even had a couple big ships go by. She was fascinated by all the beauty around her. It was like having a child see the river for the first time. I forget how isolated these nuns really are. I poured her a nice glass of beer, yes beer, and she enjoyed every single sip. We ate my Indian butter chicken with jasmine rice, and topped it all off with apple pie. I so enjoy every moment with her. We said prayers before and after dinner, in French of course, and she even brought her holy water and blessed my mom, Aunty, my sister and the cottage. She is soooo thankful for everything I do for her, it is always my pleasure to seek more adventures with her. Our time just floats by.
Got home to find Randy in bad shape. I hate saying this to you all the time, because I know you worry Jeanne. I don't mean to drag you down with me, but it wasn't good. When I leave him for the day... he just seems to get further in that hole. Tomorrow is another day.
The sun will shine.
Oh I just noticed that my right arm is burned OUCH! I guess I needed to flip around, but forgot lol
Off to bed I go. Randy is finally asleep.
Thank you for sharing CC with us again. I can't get enough of her. I bet she's bouncing off the walls with the grandkids. Are they there yet?
We love you to the moon and back again Jeanne.
Sooooooooo much. I'll talk to you soon : )
Love Claudie

Oh my gosh I am so embarassed. It takes me a while to get things in the mail as Claudie knows far too well, and now those other girls will know they haven't received thiers yet! I just have to find the perfect thing for each person. They just pop up when you least expect it and I know it was meant for you.
I also will never forget your kindness and generosity. The little poodle is really such a small token. I am so glad it made you smile however, after all.... that's what it's all about.
Poor Claudie. She has a lot on her plate. These turnabouts take time to get through. We are her cheerleaders!
Love you.
Julie

Website visitors do not come easy these days. It’s hard and it usually takes a long time. In many cases, too much time… So much that you might be ready to call it quits. Someone shared a web traffic service with me on my site and I want to share it with you. I was skeptical at first but I tried the free trial period and it turns out they are able to get hundreds of visitors to anyones website every day. My advertising revenue has increased tenfold.
