More awesome goodies!

So everything is progressing along for the move.

In the meantime here are the other things (TREASURES) I found in the church basement....

                                          A Frontier Town metal tray . I wish I had known about this place or any vintage
                                          amusement park when I was a kid...We didn't have a car and amusement parks                                           were basically verboten....
                                          And it is from the Adirondacks....I love going there!
  

                                                    I also have a deep love for paint by numbers art.
                                                    So when I saw this matching pair of egrets beauty's
                                                     I was hooked!

                                                    I think they will look smashing in my new bedroom!

            On move related news...Dan believes we have 300 boxes...SAY WHAT????? Even with the Pyrex
             I don't think we have over 200...

             I  'll keep you posted!

You Know What?

You know what?

That adirondack chair was not going to get the best of me!

So last Tuesday we went to the hardware store with a bolt in my purse to buy new nuts.

Sunday I made this chair my primo project....

                                                    Less than 30 minutes later...

                                            A nice cedar adirondack foldable chair!

                                                    Yoda was taking a bath on the loveseat...
                                                     Goodtimes!

                                           My Dad gave us a family treasure from the 1800's.

                                            A pair of wood elephants that have been in the family ever since
                                            my Dad can remember!

                                         
                                          My web research didn't turn up much except that most of them come from England and that these my might made of teak wood.
                                          Dan is crazy about them!

                                           Last I'd like to share a vintage vignette fom the living room.
                                           
                                          This is the antithesis of the decor I grew up with and I believe
                                           this is why I love mid-century modern.

                                            So take care and sleep tight thrifty friends!  

What a Great Day!

Somedays planets just seem to align and everything is going your way...

We were up before 7 am. We had some coffees and watched a bit of tv (let's be civilized...no?)

And at 8:00 am we were outside ready to go!

                                                    Screws and tools....

                                                   Opening the box....

                                                    Almost there....That is an heavy sun umbrella!

                                        Summer Paradise! I cam't wait to read the paper....

 Snack for hardworking folks.

 

 Next project assembling an Adirondack chair

 

 

                                                         Well....I had to put it back in the box....

 

There's something wrong with the nuts! LOL

The nuts are toooo tight!

 

We have to go to the hardware store tomorrow...

 

Time to get ready for the week ahead!

 

Sleep tight :)
