Winter Is Here, Sort Of-
Bye bye tools
Last night we had a taste of summer by opening our 1st can of our organic peaches I canned. Amazing in a light syrup, just like fresh!!! So good...... paradise peaches...
We finished up the bathroom remodel and I did the reveal last week. I wanted to tweak a few things though, so here is more of an updated version! I moved a few things around on the rack above the toilet and moved the print down. I realized there was a really big gap between the top of the toilet and the wall rack, so problem fixed! I bought some new knobs at Hobby Lobby for the new Ikea cabinet, green/blue ceramic and a really nice shade, I was not a fan of the old, cheap black metal ones-
I think for now we're all done!!!
Recently I was reading an article about keeping small livestock and how much easier it is. I started thinking about the layout of our background, and the fact we will probably need to rebuild the coop soon. It's held up really well for quite a few years, but it's showing wear, wood rot in small areas. We know we need to put it on a different type of foundation. I started thinking we should build a new Coop/shed where are shade area and cold frame is-
Tea Cups, $10.00
Great Finds !!!
I do tons of thifting and eBaying for great deals. I only recently found out that Ikea has started shipping items across the U.S.! They have a $5 shipping fee up to a certain amount of weight, I'm not sure what. I did find some really cool items that I was going to order, but was really disappointed that you can't order any of their holiday items online. If you follow this blog you know that I really love Scandinavian holiday stuff! I was really excited to find some great things and I added them to my shopping basket. When I went to check out there was a big note of these are unorderable online, bummer. I ordered a few random things, including a new shower mat. We had bought one when we were in Portland coming back from the coast fit perfect was heavy and was only $7. These are the more fun items that I was able to get online, all found at Ikea.Us
12" tray, $7.00 for next spring, was not in store
Huge Godtagbar vase, $10.00, goes with 2 other smaller ones I bought previously,
love the lumpy handmade clay look, and traditional Swedish folk art design
I discovered this website last year LTDcommodities (I'm not an affiliate). I found a few fun items for winter and the holidays. A bowl/dish combo for my homemade soups! I've decided to make a pot of something each weekend. This was Minestrone and cheddar biscuits last week-
Two bowls for $12.99, nice heavy stoneware, two colors per set, I bought one of each-
Fabric banner, $6.00-

You always have such fun finds to share. Love those soup and cracker bowls. I've never seen anything like them before. And aren't new knobs and pulls a wonderful way to put a new look on dressers and cabinets? Really spruces them up.
Thanks much Leigh, never saw bowls like that either! :)
Thank you for sharing your remodel. Progress feels so good!
I really like the soup and sandwich/cracker bowls. Those are really cool and rustic looking. Great find!

Thanks Laurie!
