#124…Saying Goodbye to a 10 Year Run…

I HATE CHANGE! Today, a few moments ago, I shut down my eBay store, tt SECOND GO ROUND by teptithings13. It was a great ride!

#114…Night Time Ambience on the Garage Sale Patio

Took all summer to put this together, but we sure had a good time playing cards. I forgot to lay out a very brilliant gaudy turquoise multi-color round rug…we’ll catch it another time.

#95…Wrapping 2019 Decor Around a 1970’s VELVETEEN Loveseat!

This was a simpler fixer upper. Only 5 days of Russ having to live in chaos, not asking questions, and sometimes having to make the bed because I did not have time to even consider it.

#93…Back to Nature at Wallace State Park

RV camping with the club gang is the best! Clif walked the dogs in the rain. Jim B did his daily steps on the paths, Russ built 2 campfires and Diane H and I went back to nature and followed the trails.
