An Update

We are back from our Memorial Day weekend away. We had a great time, did lots of fun stuff, but now it's time to "get busy!" I have less than two weeks til Farm Chicks and can you believe this? Isabel and I are doing a garage sale this weekend with some of our antique dealer friends. We cleaned out our booth and are getting rid of our junk that has been sitting around. I am also going to pull things out of the garage pile that I know I will never get around to fixing up. I am either ambitious or crazy, can't decide which one. The upside of doing the sale this weekend is that hopefully I will make some money to take with me to Spokane.

Here is a picture of my thrifting finds from last week. I had a really good day. Hit my usual thrift stores. Most of these will go to FC with me. Click on picture for a close up. My favorite finds of the day were the desk, pink clock (I'm keeping it!), little oak three drawer chest and the bassinet. The little metal rack on the top of the chest is perfect for holding test tubes which I am filling with vintage buttons. I got this idea from Joy.

On Thursday I went to my good friend Debbie's house where she helped me with a project. I had this laundry basket/cart for a long time. Got it at a garage sale ages ago. It had a nasty vinyl liner in it which we cut up to use for a pattern. I am super happy with the end result and I owe Debbie a huge thank you. She did 99.9% of the sewing on this project. She is a way better seamstress than I will ever be. So Deb, thanks so much! I still owe you lunch at PB.

We headed over to central Oregon on Friday to spend the weekend with my honey's folks. It was a very busy and fun weekend. We played golf, visited an antique mall (only found a couple things), went to see the new Indiana Jones movie (fun and good), went to church, and on Monday morning we went over to Black Butte ranch for a little trail ride.

Here is the view from the stable office. Kind of a cloudy day, but at least it didn't rain.

My favorite people in the whole wide world. Ready to ride.

My horse "Boots."

Here we are. Ready to go!

Patricia at Vintage Linen Treasures was sweet enough to tag me to do the things about me thing. I have been tagged a few times for this and I always have a hard time coming up with interesting or weird things to tell. So, if you are newish to my blog and want to know more about me, you can read about it here.

I am going to take a little blogging break for awhile, but will be back after Farm Chicks with lots of great pictures and hopefully some good stories for you.

Until then I will leave you with a picture I just got from my Dad of his long waited for new toy. Too cute!
