"Snowy day & Forties Music"

Last week I was a wishin' I could find some smallish barstools to put at my little bar.

I get smaller furniture when I can because my house is small.

 

A few days later I had to go into town to do some errands and I wound up in the *Goodwill Store...how did that happen????

hmmmm!!



 

I left there to go and visit some family...took the side streets lookin' out for garage sales, just meandering along, enjoying the day, just getting out of the house for a while.

~*~

I turned down a street I use often going downtown, that's when I saw them!

Just sittin' out there on the curb waitin' for me.

It was instant love for me.

I could'nt get them in the car fast enough...lol

I guess I was afraid someone would come out of the house...yelling!

Wait....I've changed my mind...yikes!

Well, I curbcrawl a lot, but it still makes me nervy to do it.

When I got home, I found some fabric I already had in my stash and covered the seats.

Then I felt like tying one on..

I ripped the strips for the bows to make them a lil' more shabby looking.

I needed some different valances.

The ones I had up were too dark and heavy lookin' for spring & summer.

I had this rose drapery fabric I had picked up somewhere in someones garage.

BuddyBoy watched me with a wary eye,

 probably wondering what the heck is she doing now...I love that little bird, I love to hear him softly singing to himself as he admires himself in his little mirror...I call him my watchbird,

 'cause he has a fit when someone or something is in the yard...

I think he's in love with one of the lady cardinals ...

He struts his stuff &

 shows out when they're at the birdfeeder out there in the front yard.

I like the way the new valances turned out..

I always pick up pretty fabric, bedspreads, tablecloths & curtains at garage sales.

I'm forever piddling with something...

and sooner or later I use it.

 

I guess I'll go see what else I can get into today.

 

It's a snowy day here and I have 40's dance music playing.

Rod Stewart made a series of CD's of the old dance songs in honor of his parents.

He said they always danced and that's the music he grew up hearing.



Enjoy your day...
