I was given a beautiful wreath for my front door!, So what did i put on it??? A PINK BOW OF COURSE...
Here it is with little white lights at night... the lights look so much prettier than this photo shows... i put them on a timer so that they come on from dusk to dawn, it's so fun to drive up at night when i get home from work and see them already on...
check out these cool little napkin holders i found at the thrift shop. they're glass and you can put water in them and real flowers in them... i thought that was so clever... probably everyone in the world already knows about these, but i didn't....
here is the house lit up at night...
as you can see i forgot to remove the pants on the hanger on the front door for the photo... actually i meant to do that... it's called the "unstaged" look...
...yeah, right...
in the above photo, propped up under the mirror, you can see this cool old vintage painting i found at the thrift shop
(i'm a pathological propper upper... i prop things everywhere...)
here is a closeup, can you see the old guy walking with the sheep?
it's really aged and wonderful...
when i found it at the thrift shop, someone had marked it at $125.00!
I called them, and i said, are you people on crack!??? this is the thrift shop... ! even an antique dealer wouldn't sell it for that much! Some very patient lady said she'd look into it...
next time i saw it it was 65.00...
waiting.... waiting... waiting...
finally it was marked $25.00... then i bought it!
oh yeah... a couple of weeks ago this little lady decided she wanted to be painted... her name is Isabelle...
she'll be going to my friend's shop looking for a new home...
and, Finally, to add to this random mix..
i have a bone to pick
have you seen those holiday commercials where the woman surprises her guy with a new car
or the guy has to show his love by buying his wife a 3 carat diamond?
are they freakin kidding me!!
so, i guess we are soooo stupid and completely inadequate if we can't afford to get our loved ones this stuff for christmas
i'll be lucky if i can afford garbage bags for christmas
you know how mrfractured shows he loves me?
he thought to buy me my favorite meyers geranium dish soap when i run out, it's more expensive, but he noticed i love it..
or he warms up my car for me when it's cold outside...
so you know what i say to those commercials?
Screw you guys! most people can't afford that stuff! or they're smart enough not to get into debt over it!
...i feel better now...
the end...
