Fine Form…

Isn’t she a beauty? My sister Mickey inherited this from a seamstress. I was amazed at all that she could do….expands to any body size and height, and the bottom expands out for those times you want a dress that bells out. Another perk is her ability to twirl since she is on wheels.

Traveling....

I am traveling out west and didn't have time to get my posts done before I left. The photo above is a shot of the Sierra Nevada mountains.

Counter top compost pail…

I have been wanting a counter top compost pail but I have been too cheap to pay $39 for one. Finally found one on sale for $15 at TJ Maxx. However, after using it for a week or so I am waffling on it. I don’t like having it on the counter and it doesn’t hold much. I think it will have to find a new home off the counter. What do you with your compost goodies?

Cozy Gazebo…

My friend Ginny’s backyard is spectacular and her gazebo is inviting and cozy, and she was kind enough to let me share it with you. The photos were taken on my phone and aren’t the best. Enjoy the 360 tour.

Another vent…

Snapped up the vent above for $10 at the garage sale of a former antique dealer. I bought this vent from the same dealer a few years back. Not sure where this will go and if I will paint it or not.
