Greetings from Missouri!!

Hello! Just a sneak peek of the "patio area" starting to come together. Hope the weather where you are is as great as here! Almost 90 degrees and sunny. Time to think about outdoor living before the mosquitos take over, LOL!!

Stringing up a variety of birds fruit and trailers on my Christmas lights

Chenille bedspreads on gliders..hope t o actually buy some outdoor cushions this year!

more chenille...along with the ugly grill, etc...!

Thrift find from my friend

Pink atomic lamp

Just a quicky check in to show off my new lamp. My friend came up from  the Ozarks and brought this awesome pink beauty but the shade is my fav part!! Started a new job last Monday, and while I hate starting over, I think it will be much better than the last two with more opportunity to grow. Til later when things settle down, happy thrifting!

No place hops like Zootsuitmama's!

Last week, I went to Sonic drive through for a cheapo hamburger with Mom. Guess who's remodeling? And throwing away all their menu boards??? I snatched em up, of course. Have lots of ideas! This is just one!

Spring redo again!

Once again I am changing! Painted one of my metal cabinets to hold my huge TV, I know, not a flatscreen...it was free! 

Soooo...had to rearrange. I am off work again for a while, so have the time.

Changed colors for Spring to pinks, greens and gold to match drapes

and took my red couch to the bedroom before the hounds from hell ruin it!
Brought my bamboo out! Well, it's nice here 70 + degrees. Hope everyone is enjoying Spring so far. I have the itch to plant!! Talk soon...zoot

My booth...fun!!

Found this awesome the at the thrifts! Always wanted one...using my Oriental table but the white and gold formica came with it!

Potholder banner~

Took a tip from a fellow blogger Cottage Dreaming and Flea Market Wishes, and made a pot holder banner! One thing led to another, pretty soon I was ironing vintage linens to disply for Spring!! I finally fixed my planter lamp, so my next project is to buy some Basil and other herbs for my little kitchen garden. Enjoy the jelly beans...on the table. Tomorrow the Easter decor is coming out!!

How do we summon Spring?! Decorate!!!

Well guys...another sub zero Missouri day. I did manage to get out on Saturday and found this cool lamp for six bucks. Kinda Summery. I may paint it later. Also, using what I had, some yellow and red lady bug wrapping paper and some flowered giift tags, I redid my metal kitchen cabinet. This is what ya call bored and looking for a project. I will sooooo appreciate being able to get out in the garden soon. Hope you all are safe and warm and hanging in there. Spring is Near!!

Bambbbooooo-zle Thrift finds

Thought I would share my weekend finds. Just goes to show ya, GO OUT IN the SNOWY weather!! They had just put this bamboo couch out with perfect upholstry. 30 dollars!! Then this little trash can with pink wooden ball legs! It matches my hamper. Hope all of you are braving this deep freeze of a Winter.

Thrifft finds

Hey all...I have been looking for this game forever! My neighbors had it when I was growing up, they kept their board games in ther cool bomb shelter! Really! That is where we played back in the early sixties! Also found this formica desk for ten dollars! My all time best find, though, has to be these atomic melmac dishes! Only wish there were more...

...

Cool Talk of the town dishes!! Weekend Thrifting find!

Sitting in Missouri while the snow is still falling. Over 10 in. today. Got to stay home and bake and decorate! Yeah!!! Well talk soon!

After Christmas Mid Century Decorating!!

 Finally took some after Christmas pictures. I like redecorating every year, but it's a big job. I try to do a lot of color to cheer up the place! Always seems so bare after the busy and clutter of Christmas! Enjoy!
