So, you ask<br />
"Why are you giving away all your milk glass"<br />
<br />
Well. If you read this post, <br />
you can get in on the giveaway<br />
and read about why I've moved on.<br />
<br />
BUT, if you read the WHOLE post<br />
you'll see I didn't move on completely.<br />
<br />
I kept a few pieces<br />
(and in the process, decided what kind I REALLY want to collect)<br />
<br />
and I experimented with making faux milk glass<br />
and for my purposes<br />
it works fine and is awesome<br />
<br />
after the trial and error of course.<br />
<br />

I so need a long runner for my entry hallway. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
By long, I think 21 feet should do it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Considering most off the shelf runners come 7 ft long</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And cost about $60 - $130 each.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I definitely needed to research a DIY option.</div>

<br />
<span style="color: blue;">This woman is genius. </span><span style="color: black;">[blog post link]</span><br />
She knocked off the above rug.<br />
With a piece of canvas, some rug non-skid and some fabric.<br />
Well...and some adhesive spray and a sewing machine.<br />
<br />
Only because there are lots of parts and patience and a sewing machine involved is this expert.<br />
If you're handy with a sewing machine or don't think hand stitching is eye gougingly slow...<br />
then this is probably maybe just advanced for you (budget to buy all that other stuff)<br />
<br />
But if you buy your fabric from here <span style="color: blue;">[link]</span> <br />
and you buy canvas at Jo's with a coupon<br />
and you find a rug stop skid somewhere...<br />
<br />
This could totally hit the medium. <br />
Especially if you are NOT making a 21 foot runner.<br />
Just saying.<br />
That's a LOT of straight stitching to make happen.<br />
<br />
Anyhow, here are some of the awesome fabric patterns I'm considering:<br />
<br />
[pictures]<br />
<br />
And since most are about $6.50 a yard (or so), I can knock out a runner for probably about the price of one...ir not less than.<br />
<br />
We'll let you know. Since this is still just a bright idea because, well, I have no sewing machine (yet)<br />
And I want to use coupons to get supplies to make it as cheap as possible.<br />
I know.<br />
<br />
Awesome thought that counts.<br />
Which fabric do you think I should go with?<br />
I'll choose one commenter as the winner of a gift certificate [fabric store GC? or Jo's] for $50.<br />
That's a lot of fabric. <br />

why don't you come visit me at <b><a href="http://www.b3hd.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: orange;">B3HD Part II</span></a></b><br />

I just can't quit you blogger.<br />

But with a new account,<br />
here's hoping I don't run out of photo space<br />

I'm sure they'll figure it out and link the blogs<br />

I need your help.<br />
Stat!<br />
<br />
Aside from ya'll needing to sign up as followers<br />
because we only need 7 more followers to give up<br />
the milk glass collections to some lucky winners<br />
(tell your friends, your mamas...anyone to sign up)<br />
<br />
I ALSO need your help in a major decision.<br />
<br />
For 5 years (or so) I've been an avid blogger/blogspot user.<br />
I don't like change.<br />
I want to stay put.<br />
<br />
BUT.<br />
You see, I have a blog<br />
That needs to have photos on it<br />
<br />
And Blogger doesn't allow me to upload anymore photos<br />
And it isn't fun to keep blogging about the same photos already on my blog<br />
<br />
So I moved to Wordpress<br />
which you can find at <a href="http://www.b3homedesigns.wordpress.com/">http://www.b3homedesigns.wordpress.com/</a><br />
in preparation to self host my own blog in the long run<br />
<br />
Wordpress is a bit of a learning curve for me.<br />
I like being able to upload photos. <br />
Super easy.<br />
<br />
I don't like having to google (or bing) every little step of the way<br />
how to make something happen on WordPress<br />
Without paying for it.<br />
<br />
Not on the nickle and dime kick<br />
which is why I love Blogger<br />
But 5 years later, I guess you get what you pay for.<br />
<br />
I knew I would run out of photo space<br />
and had come to peace with the day I'd have to pay for more storage.<br />
But that's not the case here.<br />
<br />
I'm not even getting that option.<br />
Just a bunch of server errors and you can't do that.<br />
And I hate being told what I cannot do<br />
Almost as much as a I hate no photo posts on a blog<br />
that is pretty much about photos.<br />
<br />
So now you get to decide.<br />
<a href="http://www.b3homedesigns.blogspot.com/">http://www.b3homedesigns.blogspot.com/</a><br />
<a href="http://www.b3homedesigns.wordpress.com/">http://www.b3homedesigns.wordpress.com/</a><br />
<br />
which do you prefer?<br />
Leave me a comment (or two) <br />
telling me which one<br />
and why you like it<br />
<br />
who knows, maybe I'll get a clue <br />
and be able to add your likes from one site<br />
over to the other<br />
<br />
Looking forward to your thoughts.<br />
I have a billion blogs I need to transfer out of bloglines<br />
before October 1 now.<br />
<br />
Can you tell my whole world is about upside down<br />
with all this changey stuff going on?<br />
<br />
I know huh. I think it makes more sense for me to go watch<br />
some Housewives of DC instead too.<br />

Those peppers. <br />
they were bought about 19 bazillion years ago<br />
on clearance<br />
in the orgo section<br />
I've cared for them lovingly<br />
and that is probably why they have said <br />
thanks, but no thanks.<br />
That, or, a little bit of research<br />
to understand that peppers<br />
are long season plants<br />
and this impatient gardener<br />
needs to simmer down already<br />
(FYI, i FINALLY saw baby peppers on the vines)<br />
<br />

Here's to fall harvest time<br />
and planting and plotting for spring<br />
which will be here just as quickly<br />
as fall snuck up on us<br />
<br />
Happy harvest season!<br />

Usually, when I think of estate sales</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I think sadness</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Some one passing</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
who has collected their whole lives</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
and there is no one left </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
who would love on what they have</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
for free</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Enter estate sales</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
and the vultures</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
(like me)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
who will pay no where near</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
what the person valued their treasures at</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
just so that it can be taken away</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
hopefully</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
to another loving home</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
to start a collection anew</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When I came across a Craigslist ad</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
that was a tiny bit false advertising</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
because they said everything was 90% off</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
and the title was like "Free Stuff, come get it"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I got over the tiny bit of dissapointment</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
as I took some time to scan through</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
the stuff</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Inside the house, only a couple of gets.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But outside in the yard...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
THAT was where the action was at.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Check out my great gets</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">great estate sale 2010</span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">$15 for the set</span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This was the best find of my life. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And I almost left it behind</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Thank goodness for that false advertising ad</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
on Craigslist</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
so that I could email them and beg them to hold them for me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
That dual set is awesome. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Beyond awesome</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Best bookset I ever bought</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
They are a coffee table set </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
of VIVID photographs</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
of African Ceremonies.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Just GORGEOUS photography.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We haggled for a good hour on those.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
She wanted $30.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I wanted to give her $30 </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
(aka, my lunch money for the week)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
for EVERYTHING</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
on my pile</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Which was a lot.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
She finally agreed to do it all </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
for $35</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I left her $7 and went to get my cash</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Came back</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
loaded up the car</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
and took everything</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
EXCEPT for the books.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Got all the way home that night</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Unpacked everything</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
(thank GOODNESS since I usually</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
leave it all in the car </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
for weeks on end)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Truly broke into tears</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
when I didn't see the books</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Went online, searched for the sale</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
sent them a message</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Loved the fact that in the PNW</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
everyone is friendly enough</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
to tell you their name</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
especially if you spend 2 hours</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
in their front yard</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
and put out a personal plea for the books</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Thought she had a change of heart and pulled them back</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Come to find out I was just forgetful</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
(what else is new)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
and left them by the door</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
AND they got back to me super quick.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I can only hope to be that organized</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
(and still connected to the internet)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
day before the next time I make a move.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Just a mere peek at the rest of the awesome</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I picked up at that sale</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Awesomeness and I wish my mom was here</div>

I searched high and low</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
for sea fans</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
and found them for cheap(ish)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
at my fave store in the world</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
TJ Maxx.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then, I left them on my table,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
in my room</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
with the door open.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

This July,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I found all sorts of great pieces</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
for Holiday time that will arrive</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
not soon enough.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
All thrifty, fun finds at that.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I found these super sized ornaments </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
that I will use for some outdoor decor</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
off of my back porch</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
for 17 cents each at a 90% off </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
This next find</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
was actually a garage sale</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
that I almost didn't stop at</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I actually kind of felt guilty about this purchase</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
because the guy seemed like he took a few things</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
out of his home</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
to sell</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
so that he'd have bus fair.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Everything was from his Holiday stash.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I saw this pile of two different kinds </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
of light up candy canes.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Last year, we were going to make some wooden canes.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Now, we can use these light up ones.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I asked the guy how much</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
and he told me $2. I thought he meant for each cane.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I asked "for all of them"</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
and when he said yes, I was so surprised,</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I asked if he meant yes for ALL of them.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And he did.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So about two dozen canes to stake into the ground</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
and light up.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Awesome.</div>

My last and absolute best find<br />
was this (and the other half).<br />
Aside from yard sales and thrift stores<br />
I also love Freecycle and found on road side.<br />
<br />
I don't find much on my road sides.<br />
But I do find much on Freecycle. <br />
In July, I answered the call for this 9 ft tall<br />
faux tree.<br />
And it was free<br />
and it barely fit in my trunk.<br />
<br />
And I can't wait to try to hang it upside down.<br />

if you hit the internets,</div>
<br />
then you know that<br />
in the world of "new vintage collectors"<br />
(ie, all of us wannabe vintage collectors<br />
that don't have a CLUE)<br />
milk glass is all the rage.<br />
<br />
I get it.<br />
<br />
<br />
It's (generally) cute<br />
just like my awesome lamp find<br />
<br />
<br />

it is really easy to find<br />
it is a relatively inexpensive collection to start<br />
but it quickly gets pretty pricey <br />
and pretty hard<br />
to sustain<br />
<br />
well<br />
<br />
maybe that is only "hard"<br />
for those of us not willing <br />
to spend big<br />
or go on the hunt for<br />
our collections.<br />
<br />
I admit it.<br />
<br />
<br />
I bit the bug<br />
and I went and bought me some milk glass<br />
and because I don't ever just buy 1 of anything<br />
I bought a piece.<br />
or two<br />
or nine<br />
<br />
<br />

not all at once.<br />
<br />
it started with a set of three<br />
from the North Bend Senior Thrift Store Sale<br />
Then I picked up a few more pieces<br />
And a piece here<br />
And a piece there<br />
<br />
Honestly though?<br />
I'm not really a fan.<br />
<br />
I used to collect Milk glass<br />
<br />
and I will keep these pieces because I love them<br />
for non milk glass reasons<br />

I'll also keep the milk glass lamp.<br />
<br />
I used to collect milk glass.<br />
Now I don't.<br />
<br />
But perhaps you do?<br />
Or you want to?<br />
Or you just love winning stuff?<br />
<br />
I'm giving away my milk glass collection in two batches.<br />
<br />
<br />
One batch will be a follower.<br />
If you scroll over to the right -------------------><br />
and add yourself to the followers<br />
then leave a comment on this post<br />
telling me that you are a follower <br />
you will be entered into the drawing for that batch.<br />
The second batch is for anyone or their mama<br />
and yes, mama's LOVE these pieces<br />
<br />
so call it early Christmas shopping<br />
or even earlier mama's day or Easter shopping<br />
All you have to do is leave a comment on this post<br />
<br />
If you are a follower, you can enter both giveaways<br />
<br />
just leave separate comments<br />
<br />
The giveaway will go on until I hit 50 followers.<br />
I am at 25 last time I checked.<br />
<br />
I will announce winners <br />
<br />
during the first post after I hit 50 followers<br />
You can check in daily and leave a comment<br />
(on this post) to earn extra entries <br />
for each set of milk glass.<br />
<br />
Lather. Rinse. Repeat.<br />
<br />
And if you REALLY want some milk glass <br />
<br />
Send your friends here<br />
have them sign up as followers<br />
have them leave a comment that says <br />
"I am now a follower thanks to [insert YOUR name here]"<br />
I will enter the friend and I'll add an extra entry for you.<br />
nice.<br />
<br />
just so that you don't have to dump your bff<br />
when she wins the milk glass you really wanted.<br />
<br />
let the comments and following begin.<br />

I love collecting things.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Primarily because it means spending money.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And preferably, the least of it as possible for most collections.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One of my fave collections lately, is of some shapely and/or colorfull glass.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And it all has to come thrifted.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So even when I see these awesome shapely hourglass hurricanes from West Elm:</div>

Everytime I stop into a thrift store, the first area I hit is the glass wall. <br />
Sometimes I find great stuff among the dishes<br />
Sometimes it is with the vases<br />
But sometimes, you just need to dig for it.<br />
<br />
Happy collecting.<br />
<br />
This is a pretty easy collection to start and doesn't really require a ton of creativity or patience.<br />
If you have several thrift stores to choose from.<br />
I've only been collecting earnestly for a few weeks.<br />
Just keep your eyes peeled and a bit of cash on hand<br />
My whole collection (including tons of pieces NOT shown)<br />
Has cost about $40 so far. <br />
All collected a piece (or three) at a time.<div class="blogger-post-footer">© 2010 B3 Home Designs. All Rights Reserved.

Honestly, the walk in closet in my scrap room</div>

is more than enough space<br />
for all the scrapping I do lately<br />
So I am going to take this space<br />

If you ever click on those fantastic icons<br />
to the right<br />
in the toolbar,<br />
you might have noticed<br />
in the calendar link<br />
that I went to the Pacific Gallery Annual Flea Market this year<br />
<br />
With $50 in my pocket<br />
and my huge camera strapped to my side<br />
I entered the parking lot<br />
of the Pacific Gallery Auction House<br />
and at first, my smiley face did a big old<br />
upside down maneuver.<br />
<br />
I was expecting more than this<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
To be fair</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
it was probably about the hottest day of the summer</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
and I arrived late in the day</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
(on purpose, not on CPT)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
because I wanted dealers to be hot and bothered</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
and pissed that no one was venturing out onto</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
an asphalt baking field</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
to buy their wares</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And it worked. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
That OR</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I need to hit Pac Gal auctions </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
because these dealers are CHEAP!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I've been to the Antique gallery before</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
and they had some good gets</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
but all were just beyond "good deals"</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
for me.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Not expensive, so if there was a <br />
"have to have" piece for a collection,</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I'd go here and look for it.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
But for a browse and especially a flea,</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I was not optimistic.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This is what I left with after 45 minutes</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

Let's get a little closer shall we?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I picked up this awesome piece for $2.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I used to have one of these, </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
and I gave it to my mom </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
during her African | Tribal collecting days</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<br />
This was the last piece of the day I picked up.<br />
The dealer was so hot and flustered,<br />
she almost <i>paid me</i> to take it off her hands.<br />
Tried to tell me how broken and busted it was.<br />
Tried to sell it for $7.<br />
I asked her what her best price was.<br />
She said "how about $5?"<br />
I didn't say a word.<br />
She said "Okay...how about $4?"<br />
I kept pulling out arrows and examining them.<br />
She said "Tell you what, give me $2 and don't make me pack it"<br />
I started putting the arrows back in their holder.<br />
Still have not said a word.<br />
Put my hands in my pockets (actually to get her the cash)<br />
and she said<br />
"Can I pay you a dollar to take it?"<br />
This is where I started laughing with her and said I'd give her $2<br />
<br />
Say hello to my lovely bow and arrow set<br />
which goes so very perfectly with this basket<br />
on the opposite wall of my Native Americana postcards<br />
in my downstairs powder room<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Then there was this lady.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Who reminded me a little of my grandmother</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
who had the BEST stash of goods anytime she went and sold at a flea</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
but I digress.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This lady was VERY hot and bothered and ready to pack</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
She professed to have only the finest things</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
and was disappointed this was advertised as a flea</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
because only people looking for cheap goods at </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
cheap prices were out to shop.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I wanted to say "yeah, what's your point?"</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
when I spied</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
(with my REAL eye)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
a little box</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
that was stamped up all over</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
and a little heavy to lift</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I picked it up</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
knowing what would greet me</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
from a peek under the lid</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
and saw a $12 price tag on the handle</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I almost (almost)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
thought to myself that I would pay that.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
before considering if I would really pay half that</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
to walk away with this beauty.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I asked her what her best price was</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
She was so delirious she started</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
to tell me about a cartoon</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
that I was too young to know about</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
and how that was a collector piece I was holding.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Then she saw the puzzled look on my face</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
and the ACTUAL box I was holding</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
and said "oh. that."</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
How about you give me $8.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I said, "How about $5?"</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
She said give me $6 and take it.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I gave her six and announced that I had $4 left</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
to her partner in crime in the next booth </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
who was trying mightily to get this big spender</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
to come on over.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
As she packed it up she asked what price she had on it</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
and lamented that I got it for "hot off" - similar to "half off"</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
but all the better with the heat.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
All is well in office supply land.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Right after I bought the green metal bin (with key) for $5 from a yard saler</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
who was moving and just getting rid of stuff,</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I went next door and bought </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://b3homedesigns.blogspot.com/2010/08/second-hand-pottery-barn-sand-dollar.html"><b>2 dozen sand dollars for $3</b></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
thank you very much Pottery Barn.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
But after the Sand Dollar lady, I crossed the aisle and just about fell out.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I saw the sign that said these beauties were $2 - $4 each.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I gathered up these three small ones</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
and asked how much.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
They were all of the $2 variety.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I didn't even haggle with the dude because I wanted them</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
That. Much.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
And that was JUST BEFORE</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I spied the find of a lifetime.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
That I would have returned everything for</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
and dropped all $50 of my dollars on</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
because finding these has been that elusive for me</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
and this one.</div>

she cost me all of $8</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
why don't you head on over to the blog we actually update.</div>

<br />
So. Evidently.<br />
<br />
If you edit your photos with Picassa<br />
and then try to upload those pretties here<br />
***Edited to add | evidently, it isn't just Picassa. Fantastic ***<br />
<br />
Blogger greets you with a big old<br />
"server rejection" note for all the lovely pictures<br />
you try to upload.<br />
<br />
A home decor blog with no pictures.<br />
Well, you might as well read my regular blog<br />
<a href="http://www.coloredwhite.blogspot.com/">http://www.coloredwhite.blogspot.com/</a><br />
<br />
Seriously.<br />
Because I got peeps in town<br />
and no time to sit up for another 3 hours <br />
editing photos in a real photo editor<br />
<br />
Man. <br />
<br />
Used to swear by blogger<br />
and picassa<br />
<br />
now hate them both.<br />
And will follow the techier Mr. Handy's advice<br />
and move to self hosting sooner<br />
rather than later<br />
<br />
Which for me, also meant moving over to WordPress.<br />
Nothing like a <br />
"let's sit down and knock out a quick post" moment<br />
to get you off your butt and moving.<br />
<br />
Sigh.<br />
Love to you all.<br />
<br />
I have a scheduled post or two still in the cue.<br />
but with school starting<br />
(I work for a school district, <br />
no I'm not a teacher, <br />
no I don't have kids,<br />
more on that at Colored White)<br />
I won't be getting to all the switcharooamagiging<br />
anytime soon.<br />
<br />
Alas.<br />
Sigh.<br />
<br />
Blogger.<br />
How could you.<br />
<br />
Much love to you all<br />
Please check in daily in the hopes<br />
that my "significant traffic" <br />
will make this a priority issue<br />
for the blogger powers that be.<br />
<br />
by the looks of the help answers<br />
not. so. much.<br />
<br />
If you're worried, no, I don't write like this<br />
at Colored White.<br />
<br />
If you like this,<br />
then yes I do write like this at Colored White (smile).<br />
<br />
If you would rather just check out a random day in my life<br />
<a href="http://www.shotsfired.blogspot.com/">http://www.shotsfired.blogspot.com/</a><br />
is more your pace.<br />
Less talk, more visual.<br />
<br />
And if you want to see how crafty I was<br />
before the home decor<br />
and before all hellfire and brimstone<br />
spewed forth from the earth,<br />
you can check me out at<br />
<a href="http://www.b3designs.blogspot.com/">http://www.b3designs.blogspot.com/</a> (note, there is no "home" there).<br />
I was the original b3 in case you're curious.<br />
<br />
And yes, I really do have 4 blogs.<br />
This past month was all about home<br />
And so it will be going forward<br />
Just a little reading material for the impatient<br />
and curious.<br />
<br />
Much love.<br />
Thanks for hanging in there.<br />

One of the things I love about our place</div>
<div class="separator">
is that there is so much space</div>
<div class="separator">
that can be used in so many different ways</div>
<div class="separator">
because walls don’t define what has to be</div>

take for instance the landing at the top of our stairs</div>

In this little nook,</div>
<div class="separator">
I brought in just about all of my favorite things</div>
<div class="separator">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator">
After we got puppy dog,</div>
<div class="separator">
the Paupasan chair got moved to the nook.</div>
<div class="separator">
out of our bedroom</div>
<div class="separator">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator">
I love it here because </div>
<div class="separator">
it is far more comfortable to hang out</div>
<div class="separator">
in this chair and read</div>
<div class="separator">
than to sit in a parson’s char.</div>
<div class="separator">
Just saying</div>
<div class="separator">

<div class="separator">
Another fave piece in this space is the pillow on the chair.</div>

I actually bought that pillow cover years ago</div>
<div class="separator">
When I lived in New Mexico</div>
<div class="separator">
I bought it at a Pow Wow.</div>

Some closer looks<br />
at what I love here<br />
include this tray of awesome<br />
<br />
The heart rock was from<br />
one of the most awesome<br />
beach trips<br />
with him<br />
ever<br />
<br />
The shell was collected YEARS ago<br />
the awesome bell | chime <br />
was given to me by my mom <br />
back when I was in high school<br />
after one of her yard sale stops<br />

We love Craigslist around here<br />
<br />
I think The Handy One <br />
might actually have an addiction to it<br />
<br />
I mean who doesn’t love free or really cheap right?<br />
<br />
Back at our old place,<br />
we needed some surface area<br />
to set a beverage or two upon<br />
so we got not one<br />
but two of those tables that no one bought after the 60's<br />

By now, we all know </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
that I'm a pretty lazy DIYer</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Okay.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Not "lazy"</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Just crunched for time</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
and always looking for a shortcut</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So here's my latest shortcut </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
for hanging similar items evenly</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
on either side of a window.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Start with your blinds pulled all the way up</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
(note: they don't have to be top downs,</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
i used the bottom edge to do my eyeballing)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I pulled my blinds down about 6 inches</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
and used the bottom edge of the blinds</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
to be the top edge of the paper cut out</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
of my piece that i was hanging</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Tacked the paper to the wall</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
on each side of the window</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
like this:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Photo (c) b3 home designs</i></span></div>
<br />
I pulled the blinds down some more<br />
remember, I just eyeballed this<br />
so no idea how many inches.<br />
<br />
I was hanging three on each side, <br />
so I just pulled the blinds down<br />
about halfway down the window<br />

Voila.<br />
<br />
If instead of just using flat tacks <br />
you actually use smallhead nails you will use<br />
to hang your art,<br />
you can actually pull your paper placeholders<br />
right off the wall<br />
and the nails will pull right through the paper<br />
<br />
And if you just throw your art down on a bit<br />
of butcher block paper<br />
and trace the outter edge<br />
you'll have paper placeholders for your art<br />
that you can tape up<br />
before you knock a billion holes into your wall<br />
<br />
Just saying.<br />

So it has been a while since I've had a project fail</div>
What...2 hours or so?<br />
<br />
It was only fitting that my most recent fail<br />
would come on something as labor intensive as replicating these<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
this wasn't a complete fail</div>

just a bit more of my perfectionist tendencies</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
tied to my lack of patience.</div>

And then I did what I do best<br />
as you well know from <a href="http://b3homedesigns.blogspot.com/2010/08/subway-art-gone-wild.html"><b>this post</b></a><br />
<b>I still don't have a cricuit</b><br />

so be sure to link me up if you're giving one away on your blog.<b></b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
But I digress.<b></b><br />
I went about cutting each of those tiny peace signs out by hand.<br />

not wild about them.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
loved the concept of having them in red</div>

and not paying what I'm sure was like $20</div>

for a tiny box of these </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
okay (maybe 12.50)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
Probably will go back and glitter a second layer</div>

that it would be a very tiny vase at this rate</div>

that I would be able to fill if I kept at it like this</div>

Continuing the week of all things fantastically Pottery Barnesque, enter the lovely outdoor bodyroll striped beauties.</div>
Now.<br />
I love stripes like the next girl<br />
and those "my hubby is gone, I need something to spoon" pillows<br />
well.<br />
they rock.<br />
<br />
So when I walked into the Burien Salvation Army and I spied this<br />

You know I near about knocked a poor child over scrambling over to pick this bad boy up.<br />
<br />
The best part of this super easy project was that there were already lines stitched into the pillow.<br />
I thought for half a second to use a fabric solution with my paint<br />
or to unzip and remove the pillow form<br />
<br />
I did neither of those<br />
and still love how it turned out<br />
<br />
Soon as I get more ink for my printer, I'm going to cut out some fantastic stencil numbers<br />
to do up the ends of the pillow.<br />
<br />
For now,<br />
here's the step by step<br />
<br />
Choose your paint<br />

Narrowed down selection of paint - from about a zillion yellow choices.<br />
The winner! Straw Ceramcoat by Delta.<br />
Whatevs<br />
Not like I wanted people laying their<br />
icky heads on THIS pillow anyhow<br />
<br />
Tape off some thin stripes<br />
and of course some thick stripes<br />
mix it up to give it your own flavor<br />

Make sure your edges are down to prevent paint bleed!<br />
I'm just saying... <br />
<br />
Pour out some paint and use a sponge brush to get to painting.<br />
