my purchased treasures!

A vintage 1949 Kodak Reliant video camera with original case for Carl's collection of cameras.
Cheers dart board cabinet
$5 olive green blender!!! I used it this morning and it's glorious!
Canisters and spaghetti holder! These remind me of home and my grandma's.
I told you I loved yellow AND orange! This is actually an old school AVON bathroom set. Oh well! It looks lovely on my table.

I'm very happy with my treasures!

okay, now it's just a dream list.

I need this in my living room.
And these to put my jackets on.
And this to sit on.
And this to shower behind.
And this to put on my floor.

Not necessarily in that order. :)

I can't stop...I keep finding jewels!

Ashley, you need this pillow. Heck, I want it too.

And this lamp...stamped with doilies. What?!

I know this is small, but I had the idea of a tree decal with photos on it for a hallway...what a great family tree idea! I like this one.

I've always wanted a corner booth in my house.



I may have a very real crush on the color Orange.

Loveyoubye.

okay...more!

I like this bed. Not the powderpuff pillow, but I've always wanted an old bedframe like that.
I think this is a genius way to hang plates. I'm not really a plate hanger person, but I like how they wrapped it onto another wall.
I want this painting.

I think I'm going to start painting again and keep trying until I find what kind of painting I'm good at.

K, bye.

ohhhh good.

Love this.

Want this.

Need this.

I will probably make this. :)

thanks to Apartment Therapy and Elsie Cake for showing it to me.

Sleepover

I attended a sleepover last Friday night. Emily was here this weekend for 2 wedding showers. (The nice and the naughty.) She came in Friday night and all us b-maids stayed over at Bennett's old school style. It's funny...even just 2 years out of college, staying up late and giggling into the night doesn't play out as well the next day as back in the day. I slept maybe an hour. I don't know. I was monkey in the middle in Bennett's king-sized bed. Burning up. (That is nothing new. It takes 2 fans and light blanket and a thermostat on 66 to help me sleep well.) Anyway, take an hour of sleep, add 2 wedding showers, then a time change and stir it all around. Then you get me. Seizure girl who needs at least 9 if not 10 hours of sleep walking around not speaking in clear sentences. Sunday night I slept about 9.5 hours. I woke up a lot so those hours were interrupted. Last night, I slept 11 hours. I'm still struggling today. Eek!

So, I guess I should've had more sleepovers as a kid to build up my immunity. Too bad.

monokini? whaaaaaat???

What is the world coming to?

it's on the horizen

Bocce Ball weather is here. I love bocce ball.
