Thinking outside the (tool) box.

...in regards to my autumn fireplace mantel, that is. A few weeks ago while thrifting, I came upon the longest old rusty metal toolbox I have ever seen, and I knew exactly what I was going to do with it... Continue reading

And just like that, October arrived.

Well, another page has been turned on my calendar, and I am praying (hard) that October is kinder to us than the previous months of 2020 have been. I do not believe that I can get through this new month... Continue reading

Thanks girls!! No, I didn't ask or tell my neighbor, although I do not think she would care at all. The fact is that it is on my side and she cannot see it at all.

The calendar on my iphone says it's Saturday, but that is the only way I know it is.

This time of year Saturdays are for thrifting. Yard (or garage) and estate sales are where all junkers want to be come Saturday mornings, and with the stay-home mandate that isn't happening. Yes, we still have good ol' Craig and... Continue reading
