Furnish your home AND help someone else HAVE a home.

Want to get furnishings for your home and help others at the same time? 

Check out Habitat For Humanity.  This organization helps people be home owners.  Donations help to fund this.  Some of the donations are cash others are in the form of furniture and household items and building materials.  

Lakewood has a new location of Habitat For Humanity's retail stores.

  The location is the spot where Treasure Chest used to be and the new location is much larger, giving you a lot more choices.  You can find everything from couches, tables, dressers and so on to dishes, pictures and used building supplies.  Prices are excellent and there are always lots of options.

If you are looking for furnishings to change things up in your existing household, or if you have moved and are setting up a new household, check out Habitat for Humanity first, it may save you money AND you can help someone else have a home.

How does it work with Habitat For Humanity?  When an applicant applies, they don't just get a house, they must also work to help to build the home.  Homes are built by the new home owner in connection with other volunteers who help to build the home as well.

You can help Habitat For Humanity at least 4 ways.....

1. Shop there ( and help yourself too)

2. Donate cash

3. Volunteer to help build homes and more

4. Donate your items you do not need to their retail stores ( a great option if you are moving out of the area, or newly moved into a home and find things you have do not work in the new home)

Spring and early Summer flowers in Lakewood WA

Here are some pics of flowers I saw on walks in Lakewood WA this Spring and early Summer.  Enjoy!

 This was near the bridge that goes over Ponce De Leon Creek where it flows into Lake Steilacoom
Lake Steilacoom

 Many of the neighborhoods all go in bloom at once with bulbs that show off every Spring.  Want some of your own and wondering when to plant?  Click here

 Periwinkles are a common flower at roadsides especially, likely because it works well as ground cover.

 This may remind you of winter, but this was taken early Summer near Interlaaken bridge

Taken near the steps to the entrance of the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses in Lakewood WA, more of the bulbs that burst forth each Spring.

Camila flowers, also come in light pink shades
