Can you REALLY "have your cake and eat it, too?"

HI, EVERYBODY....

I had planned to post this on Monday morning but
decided to go ahead and post it now..

As some of you know,

I made these cute letters for my kitchen about 3 years ago...

and they are STILL loved.

I like the SAYING as much as the letters themselves...

and, I don't really NEED
the signage to remind me to
BAKE a cake...

a PINEAPPLE UPSIDE DOWN
cake.

I found this cute idea over at CHERRY HILL COTTAGE and ran to HOBBY LOBBY as quickly as I could get there, bought the large letters, scrapbook pages, Mod Podge and made them in one evening.

I have loved them to pieces for all these years....

and  THEN....

I discovered that, in my NEW kitchen...there's 

NO PLACE for my
'EAT CAKE....'

Oh dear....

Well, actually it isn't the end of the world, by any means.

They are  only wooden letters, brightly colored and enjoyed for over 3 years.

So what if 

I can't have my EAT CAKE....!!

Something took me to TJMaxx the other day....

I was looking for cute rugs and pillows with a tiny bit of Terra Cotta in them...

didn't find anything and was about to leave when I saw

THIS....

I was so dumbfounded, I could barely walk....
actually, for just a few seconds, I was STUNNED and rooted to the spot I was standing in.

Now, I don't know about YOU but I take this kind of thing as WORDS FROM GOD.

I do !!

I mean, here I am, walking around thru the store, thinking about  not being able to use my EAT CAKE
at the new place....(which, again, IS NO BIG DEAL)
and here was this SIGN....just hanging there....waiting for me to find it.

I know in my heart that HE is telling me this is going to be 

SUCH A GOOD MOVE for Mr. Sweet and I.....

and...

HE threw in this ADORABLE, BLACK and WHITE sign 

'cause HE knows I love my black and white....isn't HE something else !!
SO COOL.

I don't mind giving up my little wooden letters one bit....

(APPLE CAKE with PRALINE GLAZE..... )

Of course, we all know the meaning of
" have your cake and eat it, too".

and it doesn't necessarily mean the treat, CAKE.  ;)

I just LUV this cute sign and

guess what......

there's the PERFECT spot in my new kitchen for it.....

IMAGINE THAT !!!!  :)

I love it !!

As soon as I get it all nestled into it's new home, I'll take a pic and show you.

Such a tiny thing....but,

it's the LITTLE things that can keep a smile on our face.
