October Already

I had planned on taking a few days off from painting and my two days turned into a week, bad bad Tobey. But I did manage to get a

lot done and have cleared out the garage some.

I set up at the flea market and sold quite a bit of stuff, but then I went to two storage wars and bought more. I know I know, I just can't help myself.

I did a little bit of travelling this weekend all by myself  SHOCK no hubby no bulldog. Was very strange having a few days to myself. I got a speeding ticket one day and a flat tire the next, so maybe I am not meant to be on my own lol . I never never speed, first speeding ticket in 35 years. I tried pleading and playing the tourist card (but officer I have never been here before), but this guy was by the book and he was not buying it. The flat tire was on the way to storage wars so I missed out on buying a storage locker. (Do you think my hubby sabotaged my tire lol )

  I did manage to buy a few things that people were selling from the storage units.

 

I got this chandelier that plugs in to an outlet for $5.00

Works great for our bedroom which was dark with just the lamps on the nightstands

And the hook was already in the ceiling so landlord can't freak

 

 

And I also picked up a few more metal wash bins from Rusty to New

I got the driftwood at a flea market for free and picked up some pumpkins while I was in Penticton

(This was just before the speeding ticket, expensive pumpkins lol

And I have been buying so many fake bird cages I figured might as well have some fake birds too

Found these two little guys in a thrift store in Summerland, aren't they cute (they are wood)

 

 

I love these old fans picked this one up at the flea market for a couple of dollars

 

 

I can't resist cute frames and these mirrors look so good painted up

 

I also picked up a new hutch which will be for sale, and I am selling the dining room table that I had bought a few months ago

I bought a gorgeous antique table and 5 chairs that a friend had for sale

I can't believe I am going to paint 5 more chairs lol

But when you see this table you will know why I could not resist it

 

Dressers are ready to be painted and I am trying something different with the smaller one

hope to have them done within the week

 

hope every one's week is going well

 

Happy picking Happy Painting

 

hugs
