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looking at antique furniture like a roll top desk or a beautiful chair, or delicate china or what I consider odd or outdated kitchen tools and appliances.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





January just blew by didn’t it?

by

Wow, it’s hard to believe that January is almost over isn’t it? This month seems to have gone by so quickly or so it seems. At the beginning of this month I never would have thought that it would have felt like this month would have flown by like this as I was (and still am) extremely stressed but I’ve kept myself busy and the month is almost over.

Before we know it, it will be Valentines day .. and it’s a Leap year this year too!

Speaking of Valentines .. one of my nieces called me this weekend and she was talking to me about how she was searching for the perfect valentines day gifts for bf Dan.I don’t know him very well so I could only offer a few suggestions. I did point her towards a few good online sites that might give her some ideas too.

Are you looking forward to Valentines? Do you buy gifts?

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?

Seaweed shampoo – yep it’s real

by

I was visiting my hairdresser recently – getting my hair cut and having a visit with her and we got talking about the type of products she uses in her salon.

You see, I started seeing my hairstylist about a year ago and from the very first visit I realized her salon was quite different from most of the other salons that I’ve been to in the past. You see she uses all natural products. Her shampoos and conditioners have herbs and essential oils in them and prior to doing anything to me she always gives me a scalp massage with a soothing oil such as a lavender oil. It’s really quite an experience. I actually like going there, it’s so relaxing.

On my latest visit we got talking about Seaweed shampoos. You see I occasionally suffer from psoriasis and apparently this kind of shampoo can help so she told me to go to seaweedbathco.com for seaweed shampoo so I did and I was surprised at the variety of products and I suppose – flavors? there. Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to be sold online, but the next time I do a little over the border shopping I’m going to look for it.

Do you ever discover new interesting products at your hair stylist?

Trying to find something to do with my time

by

Now that the weather is getting cooler I find that I’m indoors more and I’m starting to get quite bored. It doesn’t help that my husband has been working quite a bit of extra hours lately as well which has left me home on my own. I need something to keep me busy!

I’m thinking of joining a club or two. Something to get me out once or twice a week, maybe meeting new people, keep me busy. Obviously I love gardening so joining a gardening club would be good. Of course they tend to slow down in the winter time. So … perhaps a photography club or if not a club maybe I’ll try taking a photography course.

Any suggestions?

On a slightly related note I came across a really cool site. They make personalized coins. Why I say it’s related is because if I were to join some kind of club it would be cool to have custom made coins made for the club.
