studying for a test while not being in school is a hard thing to do. Nclex is coming up along with my new career as a fully fledged Rn.

Nursing School

IS OVER!!!!! say hello to your new graduate cardiac ICU nurse! so since school is over I have tons of free time now.. today equals sweeping and mopping the house, cleaning the garage a bit and some yardwork if the weather permits! no real new MCM finds as of late too damned busy.. but time is now mine.. as of time work has me scheduled for tons of classes, like balloon pumps, ACLS, rotoprone, etc.. loads of fun cardiac ICU stuff... but rest assured my darlings there will be plenty of DIY in the near future!

Starbursts!

I recently acquired this beautiful lil starbursty goodness via ebay for a whopping 5 bucks with shipping.. I must admit I do have a thing for old starburst clocks and something tells me this won't be the only one I will acquire.

SO BUSY!

With school coming to an end next month, been incredibly busy with studying and getting all my ducks in a row for the major life change of becoming a Registered Nurse. Along the way though I do find time to walk the dogs and scout out stores for lovely mid century finds.. seems I find alot of tables that I adore but, just don't seem to have the room for.. Does anyone else reach a point where you love furniture but have acquired almost all that you need to have a complete lil lovely house? I am almost there and not quite sure what it is that I'm looking forward to complete it! Anyways I digress here are some pics of a walk with our doggies through our neighborhood of some houses that I adore and a beautiful old truck in someone's driveway, along with of course some things I found in stores but did not pick up either A) because I have no room for them or B) they are too damned expensive! also a pic of a beautiful ceramic yellow ashtray that I recently acquired and ADORE! Have a lovely weekend my dearies I will return soon.

Isn't it beautiful in all it's yellowyness!

abandoned house in the neighborhood, I adore it.. see the girl looking all confused? I love her!


Isn't this little hobbit house amazing?!?! NO idea what kind of architecture you would call this but, I LOVE IT!





Cool old retro modern house in the neighborhood.. love love love it!

Now these side table are amazing and I would of purchased them had they not been 150 bucks, plus they wanted 215 for that chair,... *drools* aren't they creamy lovely goodness though?

These cute lil stacking tables are 20 bucks but alas nowhere to put them in my house.

Finally!

Finally got my cable so that I can upload pics from my camera to the computer.. took forever.. but in the meantime here's a few pics of some the recent finds.. the bench I picked up for 25 dollars!!!! CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT!?!? 25 BONES! *does a little dance*

The dog food bench is one of two that i picked up a LONG time ago but recently refinished yay for kickass old danish furniture!

Also included, is a Lane table that I picked up that included two side tables all for 30 dollars! refinished with teak oil, and some wax n feed.. turned out beautiful! sorry there's so much crap on it in the pic!

Spring break

Since it's spring break and me and the girl had the week off we went thrifting yesterday. I found an old globe in need of some love and some incredible aluminum mixing bowls from the 50's. She on the other hand found a Geordie Laforge mug... spectacular! Today we went to the zoo, our zoo has an INCREDIBLE new asia/elephant exhibit! It's beautiful amazing and very very nice! Came home and made some breakfast casserole which consisted of hasbrowns, veggies, eggs, and mozz all layered and baked in the oven.. WAS DELICIOUS! And of course I am still waiting on the cord to upload pics to the blog which I will do when I get them.. also finished the bench that I salvaged from the curb.. pics will be posted soon I promise my dearies!

I promised..

good pictures from a nice digital camera, but I didn't wanna wait.. so here are some crappy Iphone pics of some of my recent finds.. none of them cost me more than 30 dollars.. YAY for being thrifty! Enjoy my dearies! more to come soon I promise!
