uh-oh, i'm so excited, i'm going to p
Comments (35)Yeah, my neigbhors asked me how I was able to achieve that many plants. They saw me working on the garden around early March. They were curious about the garden beds I was making. They saw the milk jugs. I explained to them what it was and also gave them the Wintersown site. I actually watched their reactions when they saw it. They didn't pay much attention to it kinda like "oh, ok". However, when plants started to come out/bloom, they went back to me and asked, "was that from the tiny greenhouse". :) I'm going to make more beds maybe by fall once my knee gets better. :D Thanks mnwsgal! :)...See MoreUh,oh..... I may have acted a bit hastily.
Comments (21)Well, against my husband's wishes, I drove down to Costco and grabbed a table. Crazy but for $85, what the heck. (I had my daughter help me get it out of the car.) A couple hours later, as I was writing the CL ad, a gardening friend stopped by. She wants the table. Sold! Incredible. I decided to keep the original chairs because they are so darned comfortable and I haven't found anything better yet. I know that if I sell then and make DH sit on something small and stackable, like I want for aesthetic and functional reasons, he will complain. If the right chairs throw themselves in front of me, I'll get them, But in the meantime, we have something to sit on. Here's the funny part: The umbrella is bronze, the chairs are graphite and the new table is that silvery color. Oy! I contemplated spraypaint, but have decided this is a great opportunity for me to get off it and just live with mismatched. I don't have matchy matchy anywhere else, so maybe I can live with it on the patio. An opportunity for personal growth... The best part is that the new table will tuck into the corner where I won't have to look at the whole array from every darned window, like I did with the gigantic rectangular table. "What do you mean they don't match? I can't even see the furniture..." ;-)...See MoreUh oh,,, I hope I don't buy more of MY obsession on CL
Comments (18)From the looks of the pic above. I'd say our houses might be of similar vintage. Do you know when yours was built? I look the more 'formal' ones like yours, too, but old pine has had my number for a long time.... I wish that my upstairs vanity had been pine (as the seller noted on CL) but it turned out to be poplar, so didn't take stain quite like I had hoped. The pieces above are in my area, so I hope to hear back from the seller soon. I hate it when something is just posted, but you never get a reply from the seller. I saw this last month, and wrote a few times, but never heard back. I'd sell something I have now to be able to get this! Look at the grain of the wood in the bottom photo. Here is a link that might be useful: antique stepback secretary...See MoreIf you watch Jeopardy . . .
Comments (55)I think I would do badly as a contestant, because I would probably be incompetent getting my buzzer to ring in fast enough, lol! Typically I do well with categories about Literature, Medicine, Geography, Movies/t.v. shows, and North American and European History (not knowledgeable enough about history of most other Continents.) Music and sports depend greatly on the era, regarding my knowledge level. I do okay at the 'Before and After' categories, but I'm downright horrible at categories connected to Mythology, Opera, Religion, Art History and Science Fiction. But oddly enough, even if I do pretty badly during the general game, I seem to have a weird knack of getting the Final Jeopardy response correct, which accomplishes nothing, if one doesn't accumulate enough money beforehand, to win the game!...See More- 7 years agolast modified: 7 years ago
