Good Monday Morning all!
Hope you had a lovely weekend! Mother Nature decided to play a little trick on us during the night and dumped 5" of snow around the area. We lost several branches from trees and the bushes were bent to the ground with the weight of it. In Spring the snow around here is always wet and heavy.
Seems like this past Friday was just a dream...it was sunny, warm and in the mid-70's. I took a little ride to pick up some new chicks (picture post coming tomorrow) and stopped at an estate sale along the way. I'm so glad I did, because I scored! I got a great cupboard for $50 (going to repaint it) and a cross-stitched sampler that was framed and marked $1...they gave it to me free. The sampler wasn't well framed, so I took it out, washed it, then 'aged' it a bit...I'll be framing it later this week. I think it will look quite prim when I am done.

On Saturday, we stopped by a friend's house to pick up wool they had sheered from their lambs. I love it, as it is curly and makes great Santa beards! Afterwards, we stopped at our buddy, Mike's house and he gave me this wonderful old whiskey barrel! We are making a trade for an old chair that is in our barn, which he plans to refinish. I'm going to use the barrel as a side table on the porch and you can be certain I'll be decorating the top for the seasons!
Smidgen has decided that the best thing to do on a cold and snowy day is to nap on the dining room chair.
If you joined by "What's the Buzz All About" swap, I will be sending out your swap partners later today. Please let me know if you don't get an email from me. Thanks to all who joined!

ReplyDeleteI have just spent an hour in the garden shaking the snow off my lilac bushes that were knocked flat. It did perk them up again. No hope for my tulips tho..never mind, springtime weather keeps us on our toes. Bet the kids are lovin it, perfect snowman weather,I might go play later.
ReplyDeleteOh Smidgen is so prcious. And how lucky you are to be having a snowstorm. (Yes, I know, I must be insane, but we don't get snow where we live right now and I miss it so much.)
ReplyDeleteHugs ♥
Oh my gosh! I can't believe you have snow! Burrrrr...

I think your cupboard is beautiful. I do like the blue though:) I hope you show us some pictures of when it is all done. How yucky to get snow this time of year. Can't wait to see the chicks. -Steph-
ReplyDeleteSo THAT'S what snow looks like!! hehe. We didn't get any this year. LOVE your cupboard!! You always find such great stuff. Can't wait to see your sampler all done and prim. I've been cross stitching lately. Put it down for many years, but just recently picked it up again.
ReplyDeleteHave fun with your chicks and have a wonderful day!!
Blessings,

Hi Wendy,
ReplyDeleteI saw on the national news that you were all getting snow and we were breaking record heat...either way not fun.
Love your goodies esp. your sampler!
Enjoy your day,
Barb
Oh goodness I feel your pain regarding the snow/damage - lost some large 'bits 'n pieces' here too :-( If only winter would grasp that her time is over (for this year) lol.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the outcome with your new cupboard!
