What is that thingy???



Are some of you wondering
what is that thing above her mantel? Well, It's a
chicken feeder that I got at a fantastic Antique Store.
If you look closely there is writing in
the front of it and also in the back too.
The owner of the shop carries a lot of enticing treasures
that I find hard to resist every time I go into that place
and this is one of them. It's very long, narrow and
interesting..... a piece that is versatile, which I
like so I can do different things with it according
to my moods when decorating. I find this so adorable
and just had to have it (smiling)... you
know what I mean.
My little bowls line up quite nicely in this thingy. I do
paint a lot of things that come into my house, but
this is one thingy I'm keeping the way it is.

UPDATE ON MY BITE; For all the ones that commented and emailed me with your concerns... I thank you all for caring and wanting to know about my condition. I am back and running with no problems.... I end up soaking my foot with epsom salt and that seem to do the trick
and I am now 100% better.

Thank you for all your wonderful comments on my
home and my toe bite. (giggling)

Have a Super Duper Weekend!!

God Bless

Enjoying the coolness of the day....BUT


This is a section of my living room
where I was trying to get some relief
from all the hot weather we were
getting here in Michigan. My husband and I
rent a little cottage out in the boonies and we
love it here. The only thing I wish we
had is air conditioning when the weather
gets 90 something with high humidity. It can
get pretty sticky without it, but today finally
has gotten cooler.

Unfortunately I got stung by something
today on my toe. Not sure what it was, but
I went into a frenzy and killed whatever
it was in the long grass by rubbing my
foot hard into it. No sense of finding it,
but boy does it hurt, and now it's quite swollen.
What the heck was it? A bee, wasp, a spider who knows....
Now I can barely walk... I hope this won't last long.

Enjoy your Weekend and God Bless

MY Corner Cabinet-


This is the corner of my dining area
what it looked like before.....

I always wanted a corner cabinet, passing so many by
because I thought I didn't have the room.
Welllll... I couldn't pass up on a deal
when I was offered a cabinet for free. So I
took it home.... clean it up, painted it
and their you have it.


I decided to put it in this corner, and that meant
it had to be lifted up and nailed to the
wall, because of the water base heater that
is on that side of the wall. Of course I had to get my
husband involved and used him once again for
the many projects that I create. Sometimes
you hear a little bit of murmuring, but after it's
done and over he really does appreciate it.


I am so well pleased with the way it turn out, but
after it was done I had a little dilemma
trying to figure out where to put everything else
in it's place. I know most of you women can
relate to that when you bring home a goodie it
usually means the house may be in an uproar
for awhile until it all comes together
and that it did!
Now for the next project.... hehehe

Blessing to you all-
Sandy
