Remodel Day #2

First of all, I want to show you my Giveaway Win!! I cannot tell you all how thrilled I was to win this little beauty!!!!!!!!! It's one of my favorite things now. I so appreciate this wonderful little cake plate or dessert server and the huge rose that came with it.




Mr. Bob had this done within about 3 to 3 1/2 hours last night. The remodel is coming along just fine! Not much mess at all from this part, but he was very careful to put up plastic sheets to help hold down the "mess" and I appreciated that. Ooops, I see a strip of blue tape stuck to the wall in the pix below this one.



Just thought I'd "throw in" these faux desserts as a bit of "eye candy" for ya chicks!! :-) I spend an entire 2 days just making these things. Ya never know what I'll do with them. ;-)

I heard someone the other day refer to "young wives" of "older men" as "arm candy" and I had to chuckle, I tell ya. I've always told Love Bunny if he did that to me when I die I'll haunt him till the day HE dies!! And I would, too. Trust me on this one! I truly do not even believe he would dishonor me like that though.

  1. Don't you just love those cake plates . I think they are so cute . Everytime I go to a garage sale I find myself turning stuff over and sitting something on it to see what it looks like . LOL
    I spent $ 28.00 in a thrift store the other day on glass stuff. I have gave 2 away for gifts and they just loved them . Have a blessed day Connie .

  3. Hi Connie,
    The remodel's really moving along quickly.

    Love the giveaways you received - so pretty and that rose is huge, very pretty my dear.

    Love the "arm candy" comment - I'll have to remember that while taking one of my walks (I'll have a little giggle to myself on behalf of you!).

    Happy day and that faux candy's looking good chick!

  12. I am still roaring over what you told "Love Bunny" what you would do to him if he hooked up with a younger chick! I might have to steal that term of endearment(LB), too, cuz it is a winner! Your cake plate is wonderful--as are your "pretend" candies! Maybe I could lose some weight if I had more of that type of temtation around! Have a good day!

  13. Hi Connie, Oh how I don't envy you with your remodel. I've had to go through that before and it's not fun, but I must say, you will be so proud and glad when it's over.
    Your treasures you won are fantastic.
    Hugs,

  21. The cake dish is adorable! And good luck with the remodel. Mr. B is never short of ideas for remodeling the house and we've lived through it all without killing each other or getting a divorce! The end result is always worth the mess, inconvenience and bother. We want to see "done" pics, OK?
