Take A Seat

posted on August 28, 2013

I’m often asked… WHY? Why in the world don’t you hire someone to finish up this house of yours? Good grief, that’s an excellent question and my usual answer is … well, because there’s lots of stuff I can do myself and hiring someone is not only expensive but a nightmare. (we’ve all been there!) NIGHTMARE! But this post is about another reason we do it all ourselves.

The thing is that I’m not a rich person. I make a good living and so does my husband… but we are not wealthy people. We have beautiful things that we’ve worked very ….

Good Finds

While taking pictures of some of our recent finds it struck me that this post will be somewhat “arty” without me trying or really thinking about it until now.
It’s no secret that we love to hunt! NO, not with guns… however there were times I thought there might be a “shoot out” between collectors at some of the estate sales we go to… but usually we get in and out really quickly and have yet to get in any fights. (hey, it happens.. people are crazy! Besides, we prefer to find our stuff on the side of the road.)

Instagram inspired ::: photos from the week

posted on May 27, 2012

Yep, still waiting for the iPhone! Until then, I’m crazy about the look so thought I’d continue with “faking it”. Here’s some photos from “life in the last week”. I’m trying to finish up my bedroom cabinets. Hope to share the progress by Tuesday.
Hope everyone is having a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!

San Jacinto Building and clock tower downtown. The flag seemed appropriate for Memorial Day. Thanks to all the men and women who serve our country both past and present. We appreciate your service! HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!

I admit, I’m a lover of the Instagram app available on iPhone. Unfortunately I do not currently own one but I’m working on changing that. I think I would have so much fun having a decent camera at my finger tips. There are so many moments when I’m wondering around town and think “if only”. Picture perfect moments pass me by. DANG!

It also doesn’t help that some of my favorite blogs in the past week have featured their Instagram pictures and I’m so JEALOUS! There’s just something about that filtered /vintage look that turns me on. Really that shouldn’t surprise ….

Thrifty Finds – how’s your memory?

My last post was pictures of the moon and to be honest I feel like I’ve been on the moon these past 2 1/2 weeks. I’ve been absent from all the things I love and I’m feeling out of sorts. But things are about to improve, as I am FINALLY off the air and our fundraising is over and now I just have to get through the jazz concert we’re hosting this weekend. I’m sure many of you feel the same when I say “I work to live”… never “live to work”. It is a necessity but I’m ready to ….
