Today was filled with beautiful sunshine and sweet sounds. Chantel was helping Janae clean out her garage, and Wyatt was at a friends house. Instead of the sounds of TV's and video games, the air was filled with the sounds of trickling water, church bells, and the occasional ice cream truck. It was such a lovely day! Even though I was so tired from getting up early this morning, I somehow felt rested. It was peaceful.
This morning I got up early to go with Janae to Lumber Liquidators to buy her new floors. On the way home we stopped at a Goodwill. I was having Goodwill withdrawal after having not been for over a week! Well, I found something--don't need it, shouldn't have spent the money, but it was one of those things where if I wouldn't have gotten it I would have been complaining to Janae for weeks (possibly months) that I should have gotten it. Actually, if I didn't get it Janae probably would have. Then I would have secretly wished I would have gotten it:)
Here she is...
It has one arm a little wobbly...but otherwise it is strong. I love it. I figure I need a reupholstery project anyway (because I only have about 100 other projects lined up..)--it will be a beauty with new paint and fabric. Don't you agree? I paid $19.99.
Another Goodwill happy moment was when I found these...
Aqua candlesticks are so hard to find...score!
Last night I played with my indoor fence a bit and hung some bottles with twine. I think it looks so cute!
I would have loved to read magazines and drink ice tea all day but the weeds were calling. I got quite a bit done in the yard! It was the perfect Oregon temp--somewhere around 76 degrees. Loved it!
Tomorrow is suppose to be another lovely day..and I plan to sleep in (really looking forward to that part!) and then enjoy the rest of the day working in the yard.
Hope this finds everyone having a lovely day...
Thanks for visiting!
The chair is beautiful!!!!

ReplyDeleteI"m absolutely loving this sunshine and warmer temps. Looking out the kitchen window this morning I saw beautiful blossoms on 6 of our fruit trees, and about 150 blossoming tulips, and clear blue skies again!! I spent yesterday planting annuals, and plan to do so again today.
Have fun today in your beautiful gardens.
Love the chair what a great find :)
