I might as well take in this view before that barn out back collapses completely..
So anyway, wanna see what I found?.I found the jackpot is what I found!
I’m pretty sure that, in this town, they’ve not yet clued into all the amazing stuff we’re finding in their stores because the prices were dirt cheap compared to what I’m used to in the city..The top of one of those brass clocks everyone used to have, used as a makeshift cloche here: $1.99.Cake stand (oops, water spots!)
and glass dome: $4 and $2.. Blue willow plates 69 cents each.. Blue and white bowls: 99 cents each.. Not too bad for one quick little trip.. Yeah, so maybe I’m not just like all the people in the thrift stores I see around here.And maybe I’m not doing what all the “normal” people are doing all the time.
For this, I think I can get over it!Happy Memorial Day weekend to all my American friends!
In Canada, we had our holiday last weekend so it’s now (un)officially Summer here.If you’re having trouble remembering which sections you’ve already painted on your ceiling while you’re working, you’re not alone.
Looking up like that can make you get turned around and you might forget where you were just working when you need to refill your roller.Just try to work in small square sections, a little at a time and do your best.
After you’ve done two light coats.Let it dry for a bit, leave your roller out, and come back to it once it’s a bit dryer.
