JORD Wood Watch

I've got this son.

Well actually I have four of those I guess.  But one of those, well he likes the finer things in life.

Wait.... they all like the finer things in life, maybe he's just better at saving his money when he needs to, so as to acquire those finer things.

His name happens to start with a J, the same as the maker of one of those F.T.'s in life.

And J likes watches.  His new favorites are JORD Wood Watches.

Thrift Store Decor, Lampshade

It's the last Wednesday of the month and that means a quick redo of a cast off treasure someone else didn't want, but I did.

Last month I redid an old clock, and for August I'm giving a pottery urn turned pottery urn lamp a new shade.

Bagel Make'n

Oh Bliss, if you hate blogging about food stuff so much how come you keep doing it?

How come you are talking to yourself too?

The answer to both those questions is... I don't know!

IKEA Rast Dresser Hack


I love a challenge.

I love to create.

So a creative challenge is right up my alley.

And a creative challenge where everything is supplied compliments of sponsors, with the chance to win something, well heck yeah - I'm in!

I 'm anxious to show you all the details of this hack-redo-conversion, and what basically amounted to a total transformation, so all of the build details are included.

But first you.must.see.the.finished.hack.


Feast your eyeballs on this beauty........

Now pop those same eyeballs back into year head so you can see the before.

Online Auction Wins

I'm fortunate enough to live within a reasonable drive of a few large auction houses.

These days with the internet they don't always host live auctions where a person has to stand in the hot sun or a cold shed for half a day waiting for that one item on the wish list.

With online auctions if you lived in Abu Dhabi you could bid and have your hearts desire shipped to you.  I just hop in the car and go fetch my auction wins.

Building Progress Two Months In

Anyone who has ever built a new home can close their eyes and still smell the fresh scent of the pine wall studs.  

I know I can, and walking into #1 sons house as it was being framed took me back to the time I first encountered that smell.  I loved that smell then and I love it now.

Blooming Hydrangea

This is a first for me.  I think.

I've been waiting so long I can't remember if it happened before.

I anticipated it every year for the last four or five years, and for whatever reason, it just.didn't.happen.
