Mother Daughter Lode

A break in the weather (a very short sunny spot) and Mom and I hit the two garage sales in our area. We got some great stuff ! It's all still jammed in the back of Terry's SUV! We hit the mother lode just before the sun left us and the rain started  AGAIN.

Sorry, but you'll just have to wait and see what's all stufffed in here.

Simple Slipcover This Time & Looking for Band in Need of a Clanger!

Gave slipcovering another try! This was very simple due to simple straight lines. Actually, it is straight just forgot to adjust it before taking the pics and too lazy to retake them.!

The before. This  piano is just a prop to make me look musically talented! I promised Terry I would learn to play if he got it home.That was 6 years ago. I lied. My aunt/sister(not what you think,yuck),actually this aunt  is 15 months younger than me,but more like a sister.We saw each other everyday growing up and were neighbors to boot.Well anyway, knowing I wish to be musically inclined, bought me a cowbell for Christmas this year! I have to admit, I'm pretty good at clanging it. So....if you know of any band looking for a cowbell clanger, I'm their girl! Don't know what that has to do with a slipcover! Just needed to share.

Love ball fringe! Hate brown carpet!

Junk to Cool

          My attempt to clean up my counter problem.

                                                     Do you recognize the table? If not,you will!

             The little basket is for Terry's wallet and keys.

                                                 
  Got the frame from  The Graphics Fairy (of course). "Painted" the word mail with a black Sharpie!
                                                     Recognize the box? You will!

Got a hole? Nothing a rosette can't cover! 

Remember this?

And this?

My dear husband worked miracles with this thing. I just had the vision after Mom spotted it in her neighbors trash!  Good eye Mom!



Wishes Do Come True

I wish I were a Princess!

I wish I were a bride!

I wish to attend a wedding (since William & Kate left me off the list)!



                                                                      
                                                                     Best cousins!

Everyone's wishes came true ........And they lived happily ever after!

Congratulations Lacey & Matt!



Royalty They Ain't

 Maddie was disappointed she wasn't invited to the royal wedding! How dare they leave her out! So we went to the store and got Rapunzel cupcakes and fresh flowers to have our own celebration (one of my great ideas)! It was downhill from there!

                                                         Lilly stuck her finger in the frosting!

                                                  It tasted pretty good. But all heck broke loose!

Maddie who was expecting a prim and proper tea party was not the least bit happy with her sister and made it quite clear. She would have hit Lilly with her septor if one had been available. Dumb me,I can't remember where I put the thing!
(Sorry about the photo quality. One cannot focus well in these situations.)

"How dare you sit there with that smile on your face,you fake!"Someone was not about to let this go.Can you guess who?

  "I think I'll just head butt my sister's shoulder." Would you expect less from a proper princess?

Uh OH!

                                                             " Lilly ruined the party."

                                                                         " Sorry,Maddie"

               Though the Royal Tea party was a disaster,the flowers were quite lovely!

Mr. Knightly to Meet His Maker

By the time you read this post, Mr.Knightly (seen below) is probably simmering! Yes, he is quite handsome. Definitely not the type of fowl any respectful hen would take home to meet the family. He has no conscience. Turn your back and he will steal your feathers,literally. Just ask the hens whom he has victimized! Can you imagine being plucked almost bald? I only met him the other day and my instincts told me to watch my back,front,sides,well...... everything!

 

Which leads me to Jody, the sweet lady who tried to love this beastly bird. I know she tried, but he just couldn't be rehabilitated. You know, he was probably just a real bad egg. Anyway, Jody has a really sweet, serene blog. Kind of like a curl up with a good book blog. Stop over and visit her. The curtains are open and the light is always on.

Sleep well dear flock for tonite you are safe.
