Can anyone tell me what this type of metal is called? I've found tons of it and love it. This is my trash can

Howdy again

This was just one of those days. Crazy people everywhere at work! Family members gone psycho! At one point - I thought "is this what it's like right before someone goes off the deep end and starts shooting?"

Oriental madness

The Opium den is my sanctuary! Shooo - shoooow..."Thoroughly Modern Millie" .. My next few posts will be of the inner sanctum of the Oriental room.

pink collapsable pill cup

Ok, my Grandma always had these things in her "pocketbook"... a collapsable pill cup, a rain bonnet, and a package of Beeman's chewing gum. I can still smell it. So, before Ben Franklin's 5 and 10cent store closed (boo hoo), I made sure I got a little plastic rain bonnet in the little plastic envelop to carry - of course I left the price tag on!

Ok one more

Why can't I post several pix at once?? Oh well, here goes these are cool items from the weekend blitzkrieg.. on the thrift stores that is.

Looky looky, what I got this weekend!

More of the kitchen

Howdy Doooody

No-not the clown! Well, a new day, Monday, and I am trying to post more often. I mean, who wants to go to a blog without blogging? So I decided to rev myself up by putting some more pix on of the swinging pad!

Feb 13th

Chain reaction! Now I have my couch and chair in the living room, and I had to rearrange everything else....and, want to replace my chandelier with something more MOD and Trashy Oriental! I have the perfect lamp in my storage, it's red metal Oriental. Must dig that out tomorrow! And take more pictures!

Yes, It's MINE!!

I went to my first ever auction! And...I bid on and got my couch and chair! I was so nervous, but got it! Cannot WAIT to get it home tomorrow and decorate!

The hunt for the perfect couch


I found it! Salmon pink fifties couch and chair in mint condition at an auction house. Going tonight -wish me luck! I tried to talk the guy out of it Saturday, but he wouldn't budge!

Sunday again!

Seems like the only time I get in here to write is on the weekends.
I'm having a hard time enjoying it, because it doesn't come out the way I'd like. I think I need some major tutoring. The blogs I enjoy are so colorful and I can't even seem to arrange the pages the way I want. Oh well, I'll keep trying!
I did the "dining room" that I created off the living room...last night. The black and white checks look really good with my retro green formica table. Pictures to follow!!
