Some Great Finds

I was lucky enough to get to shop early last year at a local antique dealers garage sale. I found some wonderful things. I asked her if I could do the same again this year-YEH! This is most of what I bought. I've got a few things I need to pick up.

The planter is a keeper- it's exactly my style and I have rarely seen a window like that-I think it would be perfect for old pictures. The metal piece in front(we both didn't know what it was) will be spray painted to put in my garden. The metal tall round items are old lamp shades which she put candles in the yard. I have several of the old pictures from the 70's of the bathtub scene. I don't have them up anywhere- but I'd love to have a little cabin to put them in. A great day for finds!

The Spirea's Blooming

A beautiful morning- the sun is shining and the birds are singing!

The local thrift store

I LOVE to thrift store shop. I've loved it since I was a kid. It the thrill of finding something you've never seen before, you don't know what to expect, it's a surprise, it's cheap, it's recyclying, it's the hunt, the something extra to add to your collection or wardrobe, or you may find nothing at all, but there's always next time!

I just want to have fun

I just read today on someone's blog a quote from Mark Twain that in 20 years we'll be more disappointed in what we didn't do that what we did. I think that is probably true. How often do we get to do the things we really want to do (within reason)? I don't want to travel, don't want fancy things-homes or cars. I love my little old house (most of the time) and my pets(3 dogs, 3 cats). Just want to have fun with each day- which is difficult with everything we have to do-work at work and work at home. I want to be that fun person people say- I want to be like that -kinda crazy and just enjoying life. Here's my latest wish/want- something I know that I would enjoy along with my family and friends. Life is too short (and it seems like it's getting shorter all the time)-let's have fun and live it!!!!

A Day of Rest

With all the rain- I'm just trying to take it easy and rest and not think of anything! My body and mind needs it. Three more days of work and then off for 4 to get ready for the barn sale. More rain in the forecast - so I have to get ready for plan B-having the barn open even if it's raining. Hope you're having a relaxing day!

Getting it Done

Inspiration

Mine

I've been spending what little extra time I have to try and complete some little fun projects such as these cute hangers. I have a lot of these wooden hangers and decided to see how they would turn out. I think -not too bad.

Light Up Doll

I've never seen one of these-but it's kinda neat. Her eyes match her dress beautifully. I picked her up at the thrift store on Wednesday.
