Paint, wishes and desk space

I found some great wood objects for my desk area.  I know they are kitchen items, a lazy susan and spice
 holder...but i had an idea of how they would look with my craft items!!  You see where i am going?  of course, we are going to detour to desks first


                                                                   then chairs...I have some and want this look
                                                  This is what i want my desk area to look like
                                                          So i have a start....the accessories...Can't find the before picture but imagine wood...A little Anne Sloan old white paint

                                                      A little more white paint

                                              Add the spice jars (they will be filled with glitter)



                                              I found bigger white jars to house doodads (rings, clasps, cotton balls...)

                                                              It is just too much fun imagining
                                                           So to recapp, I have the accesories, chairs (wait until you see those) now looking for the desk!  Hopefully the 3 I found are still there.

Do It

Get out there and find some fun finds....
I went to my favorite weekend haunt
I finally got to meet one of the owners of this booth!!  I have bought several items from her and have always found a lot of eye candy!  ROOM SERVICE with Sandi and Alicia
 See that crib base on the left...yes I bought that, cool memo board.
 Great scale
 Oh, I want those lights
Good memo board
 Love this advice

 Another booth I like
 Did I mention I am having another grandson (#3 on the way)




Love this whole area, could see every bit in my new space.
Di,
Joining these lovely ladies

Auction! Going Once, twice, sold...


Well, I went and did it!!  Yes I attended an auction and oh my goodness I bought redwood outdoor furniture....and wait for it...and an entire garage.  Oh my


  What you don't see is the other 2 pieces of redwood furniture and 2 metal floor to ceiling shelves... What do you think hubby's reaction was?

 Yes, you are right ... "YOU BOUGHT AN ENTIRE GARAGE FULL OF STUFF...WHERE ARE WE PUTTING THIS??!!"  THE LOOK

So here I was tired from hauling, cleaning, stocking and still knowing I had 2 to 3 more trips...
 but delighted that I found 2 bird baths, 2 humming bird feeders, 1 metal wind chimes, terracotta pots, hoses, wheelbarrel, enough plant food to use at the new house, a vintage suitcase, metal frame, leather portfolio, tools, soil, ground cover, gloves


                                                                   oil can, mister,
                                                        vintage sprinkler and sprinklers
                                                                   Wooden handle saws
                                                              Great metal pieces
      and the best what I thought I was bidding on 3 pieces of redwood furniture.







                              
I also bid on 2 hats and a turkey platter that I brought home...a very good day but exhausting.  All bought for $60 for the "garage"; $20 for the hats and $50 for the platter!  Score.  A very good day in all.
                                                                           Di



See, no makeup...all sweated off!!  A little tired but ready to go again!!
