Time to visit a flea market?

by

I want to do something different this weekend. I’ve been so bored lately!

One thing I was thinking about was that I haven’t been to a flea market in ages. Now, I don’t think that I’ve ever really been to one in the winter time, but I know that there are some indoor ones in this area that I could check out.

I love looking at antique furniture like a roll top desk or a beautiful chair, or delicate china or what I consider odd or outdated kitchen tools and appliances.

I’ve been known to buy beat up pieces of furniture only to refinish them and turn them into beautiful looking pieces. Perhaps if I were to go to a flea market this weekend I could find a “project” to keep me busy for a while.

Do you like going to flea markets and or buying old furniture to refinish it?





Need to get away for a while

by

I would love nothing more than to get away for a while. I’ve been under quite a bit of stress in the last few months and I think I need to just take a few weeks to myself if I can.


Lucky for me I’ve had a few invites from people for places to stay for a while if I want to get away. Two of my brothers have offered their homes up to me and a friend in Florida just offered to let me stay with her for a while too.

I have to say the Florida getaway sounds like it would be the most fun. Especially since my friend and I talked about looking into staying at one of the Disney World hotels for a few days as well during my visit. Of course that getaway would be the most expensive for me and the situation I’m in doesn’t leave me with much money it seems – so staying with one of my brothers if I need to get away is probably what I’ll end up doing.

Still figuring out what to do for Christmas

by

I’m still not sure what I’m doing for Christmas this year. My husband might be working Christmas eve and Christmas evening so I might be pretty much on my own. I’ve been on my own a lot lately so I guess I’m getting used to that – but still – on such a major holiday – not so nice.

If my husband ends up working I might end up going over to my sisters. She going to have her boyfriend, daughter and son over Christmas eve and I’m sure some of them will be around Christmas day as well. I need to see all of them at some point anyway as I have to get their gifts to them. I found some great stuff for each of them, but I think my nephew might like his gift best. He’s quite sport and I found a speedglas helmet for him that he’s going to love or that I think he’ll love. We’ll see.

What are your plans for the holidays – are you on your own, doing something at your home or going to a friends or a member of your families for the holidays?

I love how my neighborhood changes from season to season

by

I’ve been taking a close look at several of the houses in my neighborhood when I take my dog out for a walk each day. It’s interesting to see the changes the houses go through each season. Many houses are decorated for the houses right now and the neighborhood is quite pretty at night.

One thing that I’ve noticed that several houses who have done some landscaping have done is to get a really nice address plaque. Some of my neighbors have built their address plaques into their stone edging surrounding their property. I’m sure I’m describing it properly but lets say the stone surrounds the property like a short fence and the number plaque is embedded in the stone. It’s very nice when it’s done well. I like the look of some of the address plaques so much that I went looking for some and I found a address plaques from addressplaques.net that I really like, I just have to decide if I want to buy it for our house now and where I might put it.

Do you have a nice address plaque on your house or just plain numbers? Oh and do you change the look of the outside of your home depending on the seasons? By this I mean do you decorate for the holidays or plant flowers outdoors in the spring and summer?

I want to make some home made wine

by

I think it’s been at least a year since I signed up to several sites like Groupon and Social Living. I love getting the emails that tell me about local deals even though I rarely buy into any of the offers.

One of the offers that I wish I’d bought into, that I’ve seen a few times in the past but haven’t seen for months, is from a wine making company. It was a deal to make something like 40 or 50 bottles of wine for about $50. Sounds too good to be true – right?

So now I’m watching every email that comes in from all of these daily deal companies hoping for a wine making deal. I just haven’t seen one for quite a while. It’s so odd. I even priced out a wine chiller for when our wine would be ready if we managed to get a bargain.

Have you made wine at at wine making company? Did it go well, did you enjoy the wine you made?
