Chalkboard Fun

Several months ago I put up a large chalkboard in my living room via vinyl because my head was nearly splitting with ideas of what to do with it.  Then time go away from me!  I want traveling, shopping, working, eating, reading, entertaining, etc. etc.

Today I finally accomplished Idea #1 using my new, renter, military family, friendly chalkboard.  Should I mention that my subject matter wasn't exactly thrilled with me.  She just got done telling me I should be more OCD about the dishes in the sink.  I explained I would happy in being OCD to make sure SHE DID them! 

She believed she could so she did.

What a great saying.

Fly away Jadyn!

Love this one!

Not my absolute favorite as my subject was running out of patience.  But a good starts.

 

I have a million more ideas for boys and couples... hopefully I can convince Keith and Bridger

Great Antique shop

though maybe just a bit overpriced.

I am telling you, this would be my dream job.  Traveling the world and buying junk to bring back to my shop.  I would have a massive workshop in the back where I could clean stuff up and rehab it.  The point being that my world travels are paid for via junk!  I could do this!  I am telling ya'  I would be good!!

Blurry but really a lovely wine basket!  I will blame the blurry on my little girlfriend...see below

     How cute is she? She loves me and the feeling is likewise! (but she also loves the Turkish man who served us lunch---but whatever!)

My heart be still..................

The doorway to india!  Not really--- just a doorway FROM India

Heart thumping out of chest right about now!

Need a sled or a watering can?  Well I just found the pile.

Shameful that it is blurry again but this building was fairly dark inside so my camera was struggling for light.  But there was rows upon rows of Armour's--- hand painted of course!   

oh shoot!  bad picture and I don't know how to delete!!!

This is a small riddling rack- it holds the wine- super cute.

Need a lantern?

My girlfriend loves this stone dog.  She petted it and even gave it a kiss or two.

Succulents are huge here!  This is a stone planter that is just overflowing with succulents.  I can tell this I will be experimenting with these soon as I think they are beautiful!

Thanks for hanging out with us on our trip to the Antique Shop.             

Winter Blues

I really want to sit right here and open this umbrella and read a good book. Maybe even stick my legs out of the shade so they can get a little color.  And light the tiki torches... that would awesome.

But this white stuff always gets in the way!

 

Junie B. Jones

I know how Junie B. Jones' parents felt!  I have their child except she has been rename, Jadyn.

Jadyn is a busy girl, constantly on the go.  She spent the entire weekend rollerblading with all the boys in the neighborhood and only came in long enough to eat and drink.  The streets are finally free of snow and ice so the children are out in force.  She gets along with best others who take orders from her and small children who don't know better! lol  She will make a great babysitter someday.

And she wasn't a willing participant in my quest to improve my photography skills, but she is going to just have to put up with it.  This is just the beginning...
