Woohoo!

I am really happy to announce that the books in the green room are gone to their new home!

WOOT!

200 boxes....OMG


All gone!

 A big weight is off my chest!
I feel I can move forward, enjoy life and have fun!

 Speaking of fun....
we went to an amazing church basement sale....
and of course we are not even out of the car that we spot these beauties...
I need to add Charities to our list of vintage addictions....
the wood will be refinished and we will enjoy those in our 2 living rooms.

 This sweet thing I spotted in a container in a flea market in eastern Ontario....
I just saw the color and knew I had to check it out! 
The seller wanted $7 and I offered $5.....
DEAL! 
I kept it close to my heart until we came to the car...
Good thing I always pack bubble wrap and newspaper in the car!

 This past weekend was actually the first weekend in a long time without rain
and really cooler temperatures.....So we went to garden centers for supplies!
I bought a new papyrus plant for the water garden as well some water lettuces and originating plants.
It doesn't look like much now but as they grow it should look good.

One fountain started...one more to go!
this one is the easy one.the size is manageable and not
too heavy...the other one another matter!

The rhododendrons are in full bloom.
My Dad loved them so much.
And he was always pushing me to buy some...
To tell you the truth they scared the bejesus out of me!
But now that I have 15 in the garden...it is okay.
we do our best and that's it!

What more can we do?

Update

Last week I went to a garage sale one street over and found a couple of treasures....

 Someone on Facebook wrote that it all looked so Canadian!
Really?


 We have been boxing up the green room books....
they should be GONE by the end of the month....


I can almost feel the empty room.
When all the boxes go, I will lie on the floor and make 
dirt angels!
on the shelves now are the 10,000 dads that no one wants either.....

collectors, hoarders beware of the worry and grief you will leave
your kids when you die!

I also worked in the cookbook room and cleaned out 2 shelves. we would've brought them
to the charity shop but it was raining again.....

Have a great night!

And so the displays begin

It is nothing definitive. We are still unpacking all those boxes....

But it is going were well.

Yesterday we started working on the displays....



 The plan is....
Books, Pyrex, barware, knicknacks
So far so good.

Bandito loves it here....

The commute is around 25 minutes.....LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!

Be well my friends
