We (hubby and me) had to work today, We didn't have to be there till 10AM, so that meant a little yard sale time on the way to work:) There was a set of condos, just down the street from us, having a neighborhood sale. I didn't find a lot of things, but I did find a couple of treasures. 
I am not sure what this iron scroll thingy is, but I have always loved them! I found this one today for $8.00...I think that is a great price....I have seen them for around $40. For now it is sitting on this table in the Great Room, but that is subject to change.
Love these chairs, both of them was $10.00. I thought that was an excellent find! They are sitting in our garage until we get them refinished. Some one has painted a glaze on these chairs, I think the wood under that glaze will be beautiful. I can recover the chair bottoms my self. I am so excited about getting these refinished and you know I will show when finished. Please look past the junk in the garage....we will be having a garage sale this coming Saturday....so things are piling up out there!
Bird cage was $3.00, I don't think I will paint it for a while. I will definitely take that flower decor and bird off!! Clean it up and then I will try it in several different places. Of course, it is subject to being spray painted! 
No, the trim did not come from the yard sales today. Yesterday, I went to a fantastic fabric and trim store here in Knoxville....Just wanted to use some different trims on some new tassels I will be making soon. The lady at the trim store ask me why I was buying so many different trims...so I told her....and she said..."I have something you might can use" then she pulled out a box of 1 to 1.5 yards...some almost 2 yards of different trim pieces...some she gave to me and some she sold very cheap! I was about to shout right there! 
I was going to save this recipe for another post, but I could not wait to share it. So here it is. ~Mississippi Mud Cake~ I know everybody has made this cake, but this is my favorite recipe for this one! Delish and Easy, and a Real Crowd Pleaser! It's rich and fudgy frosting poured over a layer of mini marshmallows atop a brownie like cake, and Oh, so moist!!!
1 1/3 c. all purpose flour, 1/4 t. salt, 2 c. sugar. 1/2c. baking cocoa, 1 c. butter or margarine, melted, 4 eggs beaten, 1t. vanilla, 2 c. mini marshmallows, 1/4 c. butter or margarine, 1/3c. baking cocoa, 2/3 c. milk, 16 oz. box powdered sugar sifted.
Stir together first 4 ingredients in a large bowl. Add melted butter, eggs, and vanilla....stirring until smooth. Spread into a greased 13x9 pan. Bake at 325 for 30 min. or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.....Then, sprinkle hot cake with mini marshmallows.
Fudge Icing, Combine 1/4 cup butter, 1/3 cup baking cocoa and milk in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly with wire whisk, and boil one minute. Remove from heat and stir in powdered sugar a little at a time. Immediately pour chocolate mixture over marshmallows. Let cake cool completely on a wire rack. cut into squares. I have to tell you, my cake did not get a chance to cool!!! We enjoyed it warm....Wonderful is all I can say!!!!
Take a shortcut! You can substitute a brownie mix for the cake batter recipe, just remember, to use a brownie mix for a 13x9 pan.
To get picture perfect slices from this rich cake, cover and chill it overnight before slicing it. I think it would be tooooo hard to wait that long!
Annie 100, I want to thank you for all your comments! I have tried to email you or comment you, but if you have a blog it's not coming up for me. You ask me a question about the picture frame with the W......all I did was print it off the computer...I think I did it under Works or Word Pad....I can't remember for sure, because I use both of them. You can change out your font styles on those programs and You can make them as large as you want....You may have to try a couple of different sizes before you find the one that will work for your project! I hope I have answered your question! Thanks for asking!!!
