Thrift Shop Finds…
Thrift shops near/in well-to-do hoods have better carp – that’s scientific fact (ok, not really). So yesterday as we were sashaying through a very nice section of Connecticut I yelled “Whoa! Turn Around! GoodWill!”. And do you know what that man of mine did? He turned the car around. Sorry ladies (and theater aficionados), he’s [...]

I’d love to show you the furniture we bought at The Elephant Trunk in Connecticut today…but it’s POURING out again so it’s all stuck in the car. It has rained almost everyday for the past 3 weeks. Ahh well, at least I don’t have to water the garden. So here’s a quick recap of the craptastic [...]

Just took a bunch of pictures of the yard and have questions for the gardeners out there…let’s play, shall we? So here’s the small (but growing!) jalapenos. I am not a big jalapeno person but the Fiance is. When do I harvest these? A few of them look pretty big already. Anyone? Anyone? Mint. There’s a TON [...]

28. June 2008
Woke up this morning and ran out to the yard in my jammies (yoga pants & t-shirt, no worries…socially acceptable) to do a bunch of yard work before it got too hot. I didn’t shower or even put on deodorant…I just went outside and KICKED BUTT. I was out there for a good 2 hours [...]

27. June 2008
Ariana over at Becoming Home tagged me. Typically I pretend to not notice that I’ve been tagged and then feign ignorance if email’d. BUT…since she and I started blogging at about the same time and was amongst the first to swap links…I feel compelled. PLUS…I had nothing else to say. I’m in a bit of [...]
Continue reading...Staunch Contest With Fabulous Prizes!
25. June 2008
I haven’t done a contest in a few months. It’s time. Inspired by Rechelle & April’s recent Grey Gardens fashion show…I’m throwing out the task of taking a STAUNCH photo of yourself. Dress up like Edie or just project your inner-Edie. Big Edie. Little Edie. Any Edie will do. Just make it STAUNCH. There is [...]

24. June 2008
This is what happens when you turn other House Bloggers’ onto (one of) your favorite movies… Kids – don’t try this at home. Yep. That be April from April Showers and Rechelle from Country Doctor’s Wife playing dress up with their Mom’s clothes. Kansas is nutty. Oh who am I kidding, I’ve dressed up my stuffed animals [...]

23. June 2008
Not presently wanting to spend the funds to do over the bathroom, I thought I’d update some of the textiles and splash some new paint up on the walls. Upstate Mom and I headed off to Lowes but we could not find any “extra long” shower curtains. All they had were the 72 inchers. I [...]

I ran down to West Elm to buy that light for the living room and in typical West Elm fashion…they did not have it in stock. Everytime I go there to buy something I leave empty-handed. Why is that? Well, for one…they don’t carry that light in store, it’s an “online only” item. If I had [...]

19. June 2008
If he had his way everything would be bright orange and washable by hose. Yes, worlds collide over here. Here’s what is presently living on our couch…love him dearly but he’s not so fast about moving packages into their homes…that task (or nagging) usually falls to me. I think men are just generally blinde. [...]

19. June 2008
I started working on felt goldfish and got bored about 10 minutes into it. Even the cat took a nap. LOL Sorry to disappoint. I’ll toss these in a ziploc bag. Maybe my Mom will be inspired to finish them. I’ve moved on to lighting… Tomorrow, should my back be “ok” I will be zipping down [...]

18. June 2008
It’s all fun and games till you pull out the box of felt… Ariana over at Becoming Home has been making a felt mobile for her soon-to-be-born baby. It’s WAY cute. Since I’m home and flat on my back, I thought I’d pull out my felt and make a mess or two. Check out Ariana’s monkey. [...]

I posted…and had to take the post down. It was so whiney that I could not even bear it. Ick. Take Two. I threw out my back. The black cloud seems to be sticking around lately. The Fiance had to mount his white horse (ok, it was a car service vehicle) and come get me at [...]

17. June 2008
The Fiance picked me up at work tonight. We wanted to grab dinner together before he headed off to a Broadway show (Gordo…). We wandered into Butterfield 8 to grab some burgers and guess who was sitting at the bar? Chris Hanson, the Dateline NBC “To Catch A Predator” dude. We have a sick attraction [...]

16. June 2008
Spoonflower! You can design your own fabric…and get this…they will print it for $18 a yard. Holy Smokes! I don’t know where to start. There are so many things I’d like to do. Maybe take the great drawing that a friend drid of my house and make a repeat pattern of the house and some of the [...]
