Birdhouses


I have always love birdhouses, especially the decorative ones. I collect them and have them under tables and on shelves and even try to sell them on ebay and my website. They are truly adorable, but I guess other people aren't as interested in them as I am. LOL But here are a couple of them I put on some shelves I hung saturday night - with hubby's help, of course. Okay, okay, he did all the work; I just supervised!! He's such a great guy. Gotta love that man. Anyone else collect anything - anything at all?!?! Ha. I'd love to hear from you with ideas about your collections. Who knows; it might get me to start ANOTHER collection.

Hope everyone had a wonderful easter. Holly, I love your doodle packs. Put some more on so I can see them! How do you like the little graphic I came up with?!?! I think he's a cutie.

Roses & Wine.........................

I have so many stemware glasses it isn't even funny. I don't know what to do with them anymore. Then a gracious lady gave me an idea! Boing.......... here it is! I'm not sure what I'll do with them; I may sell some and keep some. Decisions, decisions! Anyway, thanks, Stephanie, for one terrific idea for people who don't drink and are stuck with dozens of vintage wine glasses.

Look at Your Refrigerator!!

I love these little boxes we can paint and personalize. Try it.

Refrigerators! Have you really looked at yours lately? I've seen some that I wouldn't even keep food for my pets (if I had any) in. Yuck. Well, I'm here to tell you that they can be beautiful also. Put some fresh strawberries in it. Then some apples, lemons, oranges and kiwi. Look at the colors of all that. Just gorgeous. Put a freshener in there so it doesn't have bad smells. Put some lovely stemware in them to get frosty and cold before you serve your drinks - water, kool-aid, juice, sodas or whatever you drink. They will look so pretty in there. Get rid of all the rotting leftovers you have and bottles of salad dressings you've bought and haven't eaten for months because you don't particularly like it. Oh, and Bernina's Poppy Seed dressing is to die for!! Gotta love those refrigerators and if you have one that is vintage, so much the better! Just make them lovely inside and out. Put decals on the fridge. Yes, you can do it.

Thursday's Musings................

Isn't this pretty? I saw this for sale and wanted to share it with you. What a tranquil setting it radiates! She is another of my favorites artists. I just put it on here for visual beauty.

Hubby's home today and doing some honey-dos for me. What is in the gene make-up of men that they cannot wring out a rag/cloth when doing something?!?! We've been married for almost 46 years and he has yet to "get the clue" about that and it certainly isn't from any lack on my part of telling him. Hah. Women rinse out the rag until nothing drips out of it; men wring it out a bit and then start walking out of the kitchen dripping water all along the way!!!!! Gotta love 'em.
