No Yard Crawling...

It rained....

so, I sought inspiration from Sandy Koepke

a designer from California

this is one of her projects....

and it's simply marvelous!!

Wouldn't you just love to live in this house!!

A girl can dream....

Can YOU Say YARD CRAWL?

We're gonna do some yard crawling this weekend!

Yep, getting up early Saturday morning to do some good ole' junking

that is, 43 miles of junking

it starts in a town about 5 miles from my house

I'm going to be in junking paradise
with all my cronies

I'm getting excited just thinking of it

this girl cannot get up early for work

BUT

for junking, I'll get up in the wee hours of the morning

good thing I work from home

ya know, the big girl job

the one that pays for all my junking!!

It's going to be so much fun...hopefully, Wilderness man will accompany me

he can drive while I scout the places along the highway

Gotta plan in mind

So are you envious yet?

Maybe just a tad?

Okay, we don't have all the cool shows like you do in

Texas, Seattle, and California

but, we have the YARD CRAWL!!
Wish me luck!

New Items & a Little Musing....

Okay, I'm off to a stellar week..

at least for me

I was able to add a couple items to the website...

and here they are...

DRUM ROLL PLEASE!!

SPECTACULAR LOVE SEAT (265.00)

HP MILK CRATE (25.00)

TOLE TRASH CAN (28.00)

CHIPPY SHOE SHINE BENCH

 actually, these two chairs below were not added because they're  are in my booth

hence the dreadful pics

both these chairs I reupholstered...

different fabric than usual

no ROSES

say, what you say...

but, I love this fabric and I'm trying to diversify somewhat

$85.00 each

 Ice Cream chair below was reupholstered in a nice black fabric with hydrangeas

have two of these as well

and they look WAAAAAY better than this pic

38.00 a piece

 Love this primitive cupboard...hang it or sit it on a table or floor and

VIOLA

magic in the making!! $139.00

and

now for a little musing 

"D" is for Dreamy, Drooling & DA-Bomb....

All words that describe these beautiful rooms....

Funny thing, there's a theme that is prevalent in all the pictures

it's WHITE...

I love white...but, when it comes to my own decor

it's not always white

 I recently purchased a sectional couch and it's not white

its a light colored green

I've been looking a long time, I mean a long long time, for a sectional..

I wanted this one from Pottery Barn

 but it was $ 2500.00...

and I think that's ridiculously expensive for a couch...

I paid 800.00 for the one I purchased

Haven't gotten it yet...it was back ordered!

it was on sale, and they had already sold 15

funny thing though

the guy asked me if I wanted to get the couch scotch guarded...

he did his little spiel about "it costs blah blah blah and if I didn'tt ever use it over the course of 5 years

they would refund my money"

I laughed and said "you don't understand, furniture is very disposable to me...

I probably will not even have it in 2 years, let alone 5"

My current couch has been there less than 2 years..

So, another reason why I couldn't justify the $2500.00

plus. I'm just too darn cheap!!

Being in the antique business makes you always think you

can buy things at auction for less...

However, I think I'm going to splurge and get the floor lamp from Pottery Barn

the one that is in the pic above with the sectional...

it's 319.00...OUCH!!

but, its really cool...

so, here I wait patiently for my new couch to arrive.

I'll take some pics of the room when it arrives

Hope ya'll have a good weekend!

Wilderness Man is coming home tonight...he's been outta town all week for work

YIPPEE...

I missed him...

Crazy, Stupid. Love....

Last night was rainy and dreary...

Wilderness Man is out of town for work...

I couldn't get any yardwork done

I'm totally ignoring the fact that I have to clean my garage out

yep, the garage I can't even park in...

so, what the heck, off to the movies I went...

yes, just me, myself, and I..

my friends all think I'm crazy when I go to the movies by myself...

but, really...

I'm not there to talk to anyone...

I'm there to be emersed and entertained by the movie...

so I decided to go see

Crazy, Stupid, Love

Gotta get in some chick flicks sometime.

AND

it was good...no, actually, it was really good.

It has a great line up of stars...

and it starts out really slow

and sorta

depressing...

but, hang in there...the ending is really good

and it all comes together!!

Out of 5 (5 being the best), I would give it a 3.5...

it was worth the $9.50 entry price.

So, if you get a minute and want to get your mind off

all the things that need to get done...

go see it!

You won't be disappointed.

Does Absence Make the Heart Grow Fonder?

I think not....no excuses!

Just life!!

I did a show last weekend..

I took one pic...yes, ONE!

From my phone no less

So, it's not the best but you can get a feel...

It was hot, hot, hot...

Sales were not the best but it was a show geared for men...

and I have girlie stuff

so, it's not a big surprise

BUT

I met some awesome new friends

so

it was a sucess!!

Hope ya'll have been having a fabulous summer!

I've missed you!

Time Flies...

Good grief...

Where does time go?

I have lots to tell...

but no free time

so, enjoy these pics and I'll be right back

gotta do taxes...

post stuff to the store..

WORK

clean the house

pay the bills

watch "The Bachelor" tonight...yes, I watch it...I'm a sap

thank god he got rid of Michelle!!

did I say WORK..

and WORK

and WORK

I'll be back...

with this question....

Until next time...be safe and enjoy!

Inquiring minds want to know...
