My Shopping Adventure

The moment you've all been waiting for....


I got my bathtub! Yay! I can't believe they still had it. Normally, habitat sells the whirlpool tubs as soon as they come in. We even decided to get both of them because the other tub was just the perfect size to go in K's bathroom. I'm tickled to pink as they say. That is actually why I didn't blog yesterday. We spent the whole day running back and forth getting the tubs because Saturday we had to go get a used lawnmower. In his defense, with a true acre we had to have one.

Got my dresser all in Sunday. Look how pretty it looks as a credenza! Plus, I get a marvelous mirror to use somewhere else now. I have to take pics of the light on top of it because it just looks sensational together. That was another great deal at Habitat. A brand new light, never been used still in box, donated by Lowe's for $10.

K and I also got this little purse pin in a box lot at the auction. It's now listed at Orchid.

New Bangle and Auction Finds





What to blog about? The eternal blogging question. Hmmmm.

So, this weekend not so fantastic, but in some ways it was. Steve was sick this weekend. Now, if any men are reading, answer me this. Why do men have to be such babies about getting sick? Seriously. He wasn't even sick sick just a cold, and yet, you would think he had the bubonic plague. He forced me into going out of the house because of his melodramatics. So, in a way, my spending money at the auction I went to was his fault. lol. I went, I saw, and I bought. I didn't spend that much money. $40. I did get an incredible mahogany dresser with both a modern and retro feel, a black retro chair, a bunch of drawer pulls from the 40's and 50's, and a couple of terracotta planters. Of course, K was with me so she got a few things as well as always, and I did bring an old world radio home for him to tinker with. All in all, I don't think I did bad. Photos of the dresser will be forthcoming. I should've taken pics of it before I got it into my nasty house under construction :)


In other blog news, I finished this great bangle. I created it for my challenge in the forum. This week's challenge was bubbles. As usual, I am all late and wrong, but at least I finished it this week. It took much longer than expected or should have. It's created solely from sterling silver tubes and copper tubes in different sizes. I still have to polish it, but I will be listing it in my shop this morning after I do that final step.

Hope all my lovelies had a beautiful and terrific weekend! Pssst. It's March and that means it's almost spring for us Northern Hemisphere people. Yay!
