1st garage sale saturday

May 7th was my first garage sale Saturday of the season. 

What a gorgeous day it was!  Hubby and I grabbed out Timmies coffee and were off.
So, I might be wierd but this item certainly grabbed my attention. 

Not my husband's though as I witnessed his eye-rolling.

Do you know what it is?

So I'll tell you.

It's a 'glove box'.

Now that's not very exciting as today we don't have gloves that we'd keep in such a box.  I know my winter gloves wouldn't fit nor would my snowmobiling gloves. 

But I was intrigued because at one time, there were fancy gloves stored in this box and I wonder what the lady looked like or where she went when she put on these gloves. 

The box is made of cardboard and covered in vinyl.  If I could have, I would have captured the stitching on the top, specifically on the lid, top right.  It was clear this was where the lady opened the box and quite alot too, as the stitching was worn right down.

So make sure you check the boxes tucked under those garage sale tables, who knows what little story is there.

Curb Appeal

Who doesn't want 'curb appeal'?

I knew our house needed some pizzaz so I thought I should start with a wreath.

I always thought they looked nice and I should make one,

I just never did.

I found this wreath at a garage sale for .10

Now, even if I never made a wreath, who could pass that up.

Then I went to my favorite Dollar Store and bought these flowers.

Tools of the trade were just wire & clippers.

Then just weaving and tying where need be.

I was quite impressed at the outcome for my first wreath.

I believe I could make quite a few for the different seasons.

Here's my Vanna, my husband.

I think he's proud & happy it worked out for me,

otherwise he has to hear my pouting.

My finished door (for now).

We really need to paint the door as it's just factory grey/white.

As for the planters, those are plastic grass' too but soon to be real flowers.

Happy Mother's Day

Meet our children

Craig and Crystal - they are a good looking couple but that'd be wierd.

This photo was taken at Crystal & Mick's wedding. Craig was his sister's BridesMan.

Always best of friends.

See my husband in the back ground?

(he's on the LEFT).

Pre-wedding fun. I love this picture.

Craig's big into yoga, as you can see, and is a very good instructor.

He also loves Dragon Boating in Calgary.

Isn't she gorgeous on her wedding day?
Crystal was a beautiful bride.

Crystal travelled to Africa all by herself.

I worried about her alot.

Then Crystal met Mick. Mick is a added blessing to our family. I can't leave him out.
Mick loves baseball.


Have a great day!
