A Flea Market & Gardening Junkie’s Rewards

A Flea Market & Gardening Junkie's Rewards

This is why I love flea marketing and gardening: seeing it all come together on our kitchen window sill!

Mason Jars in the Bathroom

Or, bathroom window sill: I use these lovely Mason Jars (a steal! from an antique store in New Hampshire USA) to store my sea salts, soaps, and bath beads on the sill just above our bathtub. How do you display some of your favorite flea market finds?

Our Person Is In There, Typing Away…

1 year old Marmie:  You think it’s safe to go out there? That white stuff is truly gone?

15 year old Sam: Our person is in there, typing away all day on that warm flat silver device she won’t let us sit on. I don’t want to leave her side. She seems like she needs me. Especially when she stands up and screams.

12 year old Shadow: But it smells like those feathered creatures with wings out here. I gotta go gotta go gotta go oo boy!

Sam: She’s forgetting to open the big white cold beast to nourish herself. She’s only getting up from that chair and that warm flat silver device to feed us, and to feed these gerbera daisies (I heard her call them that. She loves naming her flowers out loud). No. I’m really worried about her. I won’t leave her side.

Marmie: She’s fine. She had enough energy to yell at me when I ate her swimsuit. She’s fine.

Shadow: You ate her swimsuit?

Marmie: Just the strings. They were so salty! Delish!

Sam: I’m going back inside. I heard her say she’s at 8,300 words, but she’s tired. She needs me.

Shadow: She’d better portray cats in a nice light in this novel. I’m sick of being portrayed as mindless creatures who lick themselves all day long. Hm. I wonder what these daisies taste like?

Marmie: Big furry beast with teeth on a leash!  Run! Run! Run for your life!

Sam: Oh brother.

Perfect Gifts

Just had to share a few of my beautiful birthday gifts – purple
tulips from a dear old friend who joined me for tea on Thursday (April 11th) and one of four butterfly wine glasses (I got these using gift money from my parents and in-laws). I’m looking forward to using these gorgeous glasses out on the patio, if it ever stops snowing here!

Are these gifts perfect for me or what? So maybe I shouldn’t call it ‘getting older’, I’m just getting easier to buy for!

Happy Weekend everyone – CHEERS!

The Fashion Show In My Closet

If you read my post Mike Holmes I Think I Love You, you know how impressed I was with my husband adding baskets to our walk-in closet. But this? I had to sit down and catch my breath when I saw this surprise.

'Fashion Show In My Closet' (c) HGS

Bill, who is still working on improving our walk-in and will likely be upset I’m sharing these ‘not quite finished’ photos of our closet, made me a floor-to ceiling shoe shelf for my favorite heels. And he’s going to add little lights over them! (okay, that was my idea –thought it couldn’t hurt to ask right?)  So unnecessary! So gorgeous! I don’t want to leave my closet! I could stand here and stare at it all day. But I guess I need to work, to pay for all the wood.

Our daughter saw it for the first time this morning, and ran straight to the bathroom to find me, calling out,

“Mommy! Mommy! It’s like a fashion show in your closet!”

Thank you, honey. I love you. Here are three more words: Mike Holmes who?
