Weekend Projects

MDH had to tear down the arbor.  It was falling apart.


We moved a bunch of wood from the side of the house to the wood pile...


Put a few Halloween decorations out front...


The  corn stalks are from the garden...


We have four bins of Halloween decorations but only barely used one this year...

I started putting some decorations on  the Pyrex shelf...


MDH put up the lights...


Belle enjoyed the fire...


Some wood burning...


Gourds...



 I cut some king size sheets to fit our queen bed...


And from last week-
Another shopping bag...


And a rolling pin...

Today's thrift store finds

Today KKC and I went to the giant thrift store.  I rarely get to go there because its too far away.  There was a bunch of Pyrex today.
A Woodland 442 to complete KKC's set...


A Pink Daisy 575-B...


And two Butterprint 501's...


A pink 402...


And a sheet.  I plan to use this to make something for the 4th of July...


This was hard to leave behind, but it had a good size chip in the lid:(  It would be OK for my display.  I keep thinking about it...


A Golden Acorn Space Saver...


A Butterprint 503, as well as a primary 503, Spring Blossom 442 & 444, and a few random pieces in  patterns that I don"t collect.  This store is cash only, so I had to choose wisely.  Next time I'm taking more cash.

A few Halloween decorations

I've been too lazy to pull the Halloween decorations out of the garage, so I brought up a few blow molds that were in the basement.  MDH put them on a timer so they automatically come on when it gets dark.

A quick trip to Vegas

To pick a car for MBC...


First stop...


Drive by the house...


To see the new fence that the neighbors put in.  I'm so glad they didn't have to take a palm tree out.


Now I need to do something about my crappy yard...


We stopped at a two different thrift stores.
MDH found a record...


And a sheet...


I found a new Pyrex pot:)


To join the two I already had...


And a few FPLP.  Including a gigantor baby...


On the way home...
The world's largest thermometer in Baker is finally working again...
