Another quick trip to Vegas:)

We always have to point out the water park in the middle of nowhere...

We got there just before Battistas closed.

But they don't have the pizzeria anymore:(

We got to see the High Roller up close:)

And went to Joe's pizza instead.

OMG!!!

The best white pizza ever...next time I'm going to add mushrooms.

The next day we went to almost every thrift store on the way to my house.  I only saw one Pyrex dish.  A Town & Country 443. I didn't have to have it, and tomorrow is 30% off, so...Maybe.
Anyway...

 Here's my loot from the day:)

 Only one sheet made the cut.

And this pillowcase that matches the top sheet on our bed right now:))

An aqua Lutsro-Ware silverware caddy...

It measures 10" so hopefully, it will fit in the drawer:)

A Texas ware confetti bowl:)

 Score on the Tupperware tumblers.  I only find these here for some reason...

A spare Pyrex 474 lid...

Part of a Tupperware lunch box...
I already have orange, yellow and hot pink ones that are used for storage. I guess I should stack them all together for a nice display.

 MDH found one lone record.

Can't wait for Halloween...

A Fisher-Price xylophone to use for a wind chime...

And here is the sunset on Sunrise Mountain :)

A new umbrella for the patio

 Kellye gave me this umbrella (actually 2 of them) that Willy saved from the trash pile on a job.   It's huge...about 12' across.  The fabric was so dry rotted, that when I tried to sew the rips in the fabric, it just fell apart.

So, I decided to re-do the entire thing.

MDH sanded the wood so I could paint it.  This is the same $5 gallon of paint from Lowe's in Vegas.

It matches our swing chair and the side table.

Last year Manfred gave me a bunch of fabric that his wife was throwing away.  I had almost enough yellow silk for the panels.  I wouldn't have chosen yellow & I wouldn't have chosen silk, but as someone always tells me..."If you can find it in the house, then you can have it."  Since I'm not crazy about yellow, I decided to sew some patches on the underside...

I had to use orange velvet for the center section since I ran out of yellow silk.

I decided to add our initials so everyone knows who it belongs to ;)

 

Tah dah...

Free:)

I have an idea for the other one, but that's a project for later.

sun catcher

MDH took apart some old computers.  He was going to make a wind chime, but we did not have the supplies we needed.  So we made a sun catcher instead...

doggie door wine cork curtain

I finally found a use for the wine corks we have been saving for the past five years.

I'm stringing them with glass beads to cover the make shift plastic doggie door.  

MDH made Belle extra old lady doggie stairs, since she was having a hard time climbing up with her short legs.  We always have to leave the door open and had to put plastic up to keep the AC/heat in.

It's going to look better when I'm done:)

homemade tiki torches

to keep the mosquitos and flies away...
