Trade or buy?

Hi everyone! The sun is shining today but still pretty cold out. Is Spring ever going to get here?? Looks like Friday before we actually warm up and that being after the snow we are supposed to get tonight!

Amy got me in the mood to do some cleaning of some unwanted items and I thought I would post them to see if anyone was interested in a trade or you can buy if you wish.



















Thats is for now. Wednesday I have to go to the dentist and have 2 root canals done...not looking forward to that.

Have a great week everyone!

I survived my weekend, an apology and just because!

Happy Hump Day all!! Spring looks like it has disappeared for many of us. Some of you have gotten snow and ice. That is what we are looking at for the weekend and the weatherman also says that it will be a snowy end to the month of March so we will see. I'm not looking forward to it. Yesterday was so nice out but then had severe storms come through with lots of hail around the area. Lots of damage!!

I need to apologize to Carol an hubby of Firecrackerkid Primitives. I had posted a picture in my last post of the chicken nesters that I had ordered from her. Well I posted the picture showing them upside down so I have took a new picture of them the right way!! LOL! I am so sorry Carol and hubby!!



Monday was a really dreary and cloudy day and I was still recouperating (see below) when my mailman delivered a package for me. I wasn't expecting anything but this sure did brighten my day!! Tammy of A Primitive Place sent me a "just because" package. An awesome smelling candle (Cinnamon Pecan Swirl) and a little wooden box with a nest of eggs in it with berries. Thank you so much Tam!!



This past Saturday (the 19th) was my 50th birthday! Yes, a 1/2 century old!! Friday night I had a party at one of the bars here in town where my favorite band was playing. I had such an awesome time but I did drink just a tad too much. I don't do that very often at all. Most of my closest relatives and most of my very good friends joined me in celebrating. I tell ya, it was just a blast!

Here is a picture of me up on stage with the band and another girl that was having a birthday playing the cowbells while the band was playing! I'm in the black & white stripe top.


And here is a picture of my mom and me when she was getting ready to leave.
(Wow, look at that flab on my arm!! I need to do something about that)


This was the pin that I wore all evening. By the end of the night, I was at this point...ha!!


I got some awesome gifts and great cards! And on Saturday I had a flower delivery. They were from my sister, the one that lives in Alabama!!




So then on Saturday after I finally got up, we went to a craft show in Iowa. I knew ahead of time that Laurie, from my fav shop was going to have a booth there. This is what I bought from her at the show:


There were a couple more prim booths there this time then there was the last time which is good news. Here are some more goodies that I got from those booths.







Then after the craft show, since the casino's are right there, and I do mean just across the street basically, we had to go try our luck...it was my birthday after all..ha. Well, just because it was my birthday, it made no difference to the casino but we were there for quite a while playing. Sunday was a day of do nothing, a nap here and there...lol!

Ok, that's all for me today. Hope you all have a great rest of the week and weekend! If you have snow or will be getting it, be safe and warm!!

New toys, new stuff

Good Monday afternoon all!! Hope you all are doing well. Spring will be here soon and I'm so looking forward to the nice days again!

I have gotten a couple of new toys since my last post. First off is this:




It's a Dell Duo. It's a mini computer and then it also turns into a tablet! Even has an e-reader on it. Love it!!

The second thing is this and I have been faithfully using it!! No clothes hanger yet!


Last week I went to the Estate store and got the following:

I love this and Spaz likes it too....he want's food...lol!! This was only $40.00!


Here's a better pic of it without Spaz.


And I also got this crock piece


And then Saturday, I finally made it to my fav store..The Whistle Stop and got some things.



I love this old mirror. The sides fold in.



And so far so good, haven't gotten sick from being back outside!! Cough is much much better. My mom was just here and she is sick so now I have to get the Lysol out and hopefully I don't get it. I'm having my 50th birthday party on Friday and I sure don't want to be sick! Thanks mom by the way...ha!! Thanks for the well wishes everyone by the way!!

I also received my chicken nesters from Carol over at Firecrackerkid. Love her and hubby's stuff that they make!



I found the following at Goodwill awhile back and realized that I never showed them.


I love these candlestick holders. How can I tell if they are forged iron or not? I heard that if they are that they might be worth some money?? Anyone know? I wouldn't sell them anyway.


Let's see...what else?? Oh, I made me some prim rabbits to hang. Now don't laugh...lol!!



And this picture is my last group of cross stitching that I got done and all have sold already except for the little rabbit one.



Guess I need to get busy and get more made!!

Well that's all I have for now. I ordered some copper tile for my backsplash and that was just delivered and then I'm also going to get some of the granite paint that someone had posted about on their blog that they used on their countertops so I'm going to try that and then hopefully this kitchen will be done....finally!! I'll show pics whenever that might be...ha!!

Hope you all have a great week!!

Missing

Update:
I am so losing my mind ya'll!! I have been looking for my Ipod for how long now, going through all my cabinets and everywhere and all of a sudden, just a few minutes ago, I look on my desk, right next to this computer, I have one of those iHome thingys where it has an alarm for waking up, clock and such. Well you can also put your iPod on it to play, so guess where my iPod was??? Right in front of face all this time! I even found my Alzheimers Drawer and looked in there!! Someone help me please!!!! LOL!!




I have lost my Ipod, has anyone seen it? I have a treadmill coming next week and will need it. Hopefully the treadmill doesn't become a clothes hanger after a couple of weeks....LOL!

Anyone up for a trade??

Update....the spice cubby box will be going to it's new home this week. The little suitcase is still available if anyone is interested. Thanks so much for your interest in the cubby box...I will for sure keep my eye out for more!





I have decided to get rid of the spice cubby box and that little suitcase bag..(I did find out that it is a slide holder). I really just have no use for them. They will just sit around here collecting dust. I would be very interested in trades if anyone is interested. I am looking for prairie bonnets, led grubby candles, blackened beeswax items, penny rugs, hooked rugs, anything prim. Let me know what you would be willing to trade and I'll let you know.
Thanks!!



(Cubby box is top right) There is a knob missing from the top left drawer.
