Cold Feet

I want these.......


Or these.......

Or these........
Or these.
Bogs boots.
I love them.

Here Comes the Bride............

I've been away for a few days to attend a wedding in Florida. The Bride's picture says it all. Yes, it was one of those weddings.

Batman - The Dog

Hi there.....I'm Batman.
Would someone please remind my people I'm a girl.
Wait..I take that back.
I would really die of embarrassment in a Catwoman suit.

Is it just me......

Is it just me...or do these chairs look like they need to pee?

The Newest Cadet

Say hello to Buzzards Bay. On a rainy day this past weekend,
Cadet Candidate Evan W. became ..............


Cadet Evan W. We're very proud of you.....


Even though you wouldn't let me take a serious picture.

Before and After...Computer chair

I have a very dear friend, Janet, who left Social Work a few years ago and started a business called Dirty Deeds. She does clean-outs ...as in home and office clean outs. She seems to most often do clean outs for seniors who have spent many years in their homes and are now moving into Elderly Housing; or the families of people who have died and have the tough task of sorting through a loved one's things.


Even before she started the business she was always on the look-out for furniture and usable items for the people she worked with. She provided furniture, appliances and often good quality clothing to her clients. (She was in the Adult Mental Health field)
Now ,with the business she is in , she still is able to donate a large amount of things to people with mental health issues who are trying to make it on their own.



Often the clients she services through Dirty Deeds just want her to dispose of the old furniture and miscellaneous goods she carts away. Janet has always been an avid recycler and can't bring herself to throw away anything that could be of use to someone.


I have often been the happy recipient of things she could find no other home for. I have also been known to say, with love, "Janet...that is something that belongs in the dump!"


This chair is part of a set that found it's way to my house. At first I thought there was no rescue for it. I'm not a big fan of the mid-century modern style.



But, oh man, it was comfortable! It definitely needed at least a paint job and seat recover.

It still doesn't really go with anything in my house, but I don't want to use anything else at my computer! It's quirky and whimsical enough that it can stand alone, I think.
Thank you Janet, my friend.

Shine a light on it.....

Have you ever seen CandyLights? I love them. I just got two strands to dress up A's dorm room.
They are very pretty all by themselves but it's easy to dress them up, too.


They are small white lights that are dipped in silicone. They come in several colors.



I just got inexpensive crepe paper rolls and cut strips, in two layers, at about 12" long.


I then scrunched it......


wrapped the scrunched pieces around the lights...


and wrapped white stem tape around the paper and lights.


I love the two tones.


This is not their final resting place. They are headed to Amherst. I'll have A send me a picture when she puts them up.
