round and round....

28 days until surgery. then 11 days of rest through thanksgiving.

Tomorrow is Vallen's potluck. I am still trying to decide what to bring. I can't wait to cruise through and look at all the goodies. I'll be writing down recipes as well.

Okay thrifters - junkers - fun seekers. Anybody out there who understands the heart leap when you come into your office and see a box that may just be an immediate hazard to your health. I am talking about an inch of dust build up. Tiny bit of damage to the box. But you know it's old and it's on your desk. And a coworker says if you want it - its yours. Just look.

Dean and his bride have moved into a new house. He cleaned out the basement of the house she lived in with her late husband. This was a family house and had "YEARS" of accumulated finds stashed everywhere.

This is one of the coolest things. What is in the box??????

A doiley stretcher. I have absolutely no need for such an item. I will have a purely decorative use in the studio. It's like a framed pin board. I love the graphics. It is approximately 24 inches square. It will be way cool up in the roof peak area of the studio. He also has a pallet of vintage cast iron and heavy brass floor lamps. They need refinishing and rewiring. I have taken those too, to keep them from the dumpster. (and one of them is going by my bed). Guess I'll add those to the project list.

I have been focused at work and home trying to get some things accomplished before the surgery. There is still ton to do. The planning to be out of commission is almost worse than being gone.

I do have some MaggieGrace goodness for all of you, but I am waiting notice that the package arrive before I spoil the surprise.

Have a wonderful day people.

Thanks for the plug on the potluck. I am pretty excited to see what everyone will bring.
I love that people think of you when they find cool vintage stuff. I'm trying to cultivate that response in my friends, too.

Good luck on your preparations for surgery!

I love the doily stretcher. It reminds me of the television test patterns in the 1960s.
