#16…#Spring is in the Air….#Ideas running Amuck!

My favorite time of the year is coming. Time for #tulips popping up, that 1st robin, scattering seed for beloved mourning doves, rhubarb shoots up, planting trees, opening windows and……………….#GARAGESALES ! ! ! But so much to do before then. Garage has to be totally cleaned out to make room for NEW TREASURES coming in….potting Read more about #16…#Spring is in the Air….#Ideas running Amuck![…]

#15…Sometimes you go #Shopping…Sometimes you shout #dillydilly !

  I have problems…I believe that with my bulldog tenacity I could bargain down on some of these items anywhere from $50 to $125 off.  But I don’t have…even for 1 of these items…. the extra $400 to $2350 to pay the difference. Thus this is a dream building shopping experience…..gleaning morsels of ideas, paint Read more about #15…Sometimes you go #Shopping…Sometimes you shout #dillydilly ![…]

#14…Nothing Like Heavy Metal to Warm the Heart

      I have my problems. First I get into an argument at the yard sale with the owner of this MAGNIFICENT object’de art….which would look good on my dining room table, because she wants to set it down for me so I can seriously shop, the vultures are hovering…she now tries to pull Read more about #14…Nothing Like Heavy Metal to Warm the Heart[…]

#12…#highschoollockers, An #industrial #remake

So Russ asks me to go shopping with him …..apparently for the rest of our lives, (there was actually NEVER a proposal or a “yes”) so after the party…some people call it the wedding…(how can I though, he never proposed) we start combining households. That was a nightmare and disaster. I brought a fully packed Read more about #12…#highschoollockers, An #industrial #remake[…]

#11…Skinny Trees / Assembly Line……makes sense to me!

#10…To Chic…or NOT to #Shabby Chic? Rethink if Living in the #Midwest

Each of these tables I bought at a garage sale for $1 and then painted. The big one sold for $57, the smaller…..$46 Yellow birdcage paid $25 and sold it for $46 AFTER I whitewashed it white.

#09…Me, #YardSales……..and God

It’s been a wakeup call to me,  how spoiled I have gotten over time and aging. There comes that moment, that birthday…… when you discover that you have your way all the time. It seems to come naturally. Out of the ugliness of my life, I had cried out to the Lord, I believed by Read more about #09…Me, #YardSales……..and God[…]

#08…Early days…..THE DOG…..(s)

Garage saling has been a way of life for me forever. Mother would take us to a thrift store every Saturday and with the dresses she bought,  Grandma would redesign them on her sewing machine.  Mom always dressed well for work. Out of necessity I started going to garage sales about the time my children Read more about #08…Early days…..THE DOG…..(s)[…]

Working diligently…holding back the tears….the frustration of learning a new computer language. I know what to do now on the Blue Host control panel…it just won’t pull up for me…not giving up! It worked! Not quite the way I wanted it…but I have hope! Yeh! If you have enjoyed this blog, please hit “Like” and Read more about #07…The struggle continues[…]
