| We lived in this little house that God provided for us during some extra lean times for nearly ten years. I have fond memories of using it up, wearing it out, making it do, or doing without. It's a lifestyle that works well today, too. Thank you for visiting today—or tonight! Do say hello! ~~~~~ ♥♥♥ ~~~~~  Dear Reader, I am so glad you dropped by. Your sweet words of encouragement always mean so much to me. Some of you have been with me for many years, through my early homeschooling days with littles, up through homeschooling teens, through my breast cancer experience, and all the while, writing to you encouraged me to share my thrifty doings, the many ways that God has provided for us, and my love of Jesus. One of the regular posts I used to do was "A Thrifty Week at Harvest Lane Cottage". I am considering starting up with that again. It kept me focused on doing things that provided for my family, and reminded me to use it up "wear it out, make it do, or do without". Later, I started sharing "Thrifty Things Lately", and combining things I did over a number of weeks. Saving money seems pretty important right now to most everyone! Please see the bottom of the post to help me with three questions that I have for you. I do hope you'll write to me in the comments. ~smile~  ~~~~~ ♥♥♥ ~~~~~ A Verse for You " I, therefore, the prisoner of the LORD, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, with all lowliness and gentleness, with long suffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace." ~ Paul Ephesians 4:1-3 ESV Bible Note: Can you tell that I needed a verse about patience when I looked that one up? ~~~~~ ♥♥♥ ~~~~~ Here's my thrifty week!

Three questions for you, please comment! 1. Are you interested in the thrifty things that I do? 2. Would you like me to post weekly or once in awhile? 3. What else would you like to see me write about? Bonus question: What have you done in your home this week? ~~~~~ ♥♥♥ ~~~~~  ~~~~~ ♥♥♥ ~~~~~ ღLauraღ ...doing what I can with what I've got where I am on a short shoestring budget! ~~~~~ ♥♥♥

Thank you for the uplifting posts and thrifty reminders. I enjoy making life decisions that help God-given Mother Earth and nature survive. Being almost 80 and retired on fixed income, makes thrift a necessity, but no reason we can have fun and be creative too.
ReplyDeleteEileen, you have a great advantage over younger folks. You grew up in a thriftier time. May bless you as you be thrifty.
DeleteSilly me! May God bless you!
DeleteI love your thrifty posts. Such an encouragement to me whenever they come. Have a beautiful week!
ReplyDeleteHi Angela,
DeleteThank you for writing to me.
I must admit the weekly format is much more motivating to me.
Love all the thrifty ways. I wish I could knit socks. Actually I can but when?
ReplyDeleteI snatch moments to knit whenever I can. Cast on a simple pair of socks and take advantage of whatever time you can.
DeleteI'm interested in your thrifty posts once a week. I would love to reviews of books you've read whether positive or negative. I love the random year posts.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Regina! Your opinion means a lot to me, because I know you've been reading my blog for a long time.
DeleteGod bless you!
Your thrifty posts are some of my favorites and I would love to see them weekly. I am also interested in posts about homemaking and recipes. Thank you for providing such an encouraging and peaceful place to visit! Have a blessed day.

I enjoy your thrifty posts. I have been lining wire shelves in a closet this week, and plan to line one more cupboard in my kitchen this week. I may do one more cupboard next week too.
ReplyDeleteLaura, I love being frugal. I've never really "had to be," but I think waste is a terrible thing. Especially food, especially meat. My husband laughs when he sees me getting every drop of toothpaste or lotion out of its container, but I just say "Grandma would be so proud of me!" My Southern grandmother lived through the depression and knew hard times and was the queen of frugal.
