Dear Mr. Warm Weather...

Just wanted to make sure you know we are waiting for you.

Anxiously.

Mr. Sun showed up today,
So nice of him!

But Ms. Beach looked very lonely and bored this morning...

And us...
well, we really miss you.

So just cut it out and show up already!
Can't you just tell that we are ready for you????

Sincerely,
Spoiled Californian

White Wednesday

Your glass can be half empty...

or half full...

It's all up to you...

Thank you Kathleen for another White Wednesday
and
Thank you Karen for the wonderful graphics!

Rainy California

Clara found this very cute dresser full of possibilities.

$40.00 and big plans for it!

Nice drawer pulls,
Nice legs,
Nice details.

Until the rain came.

The cute dresser was in the back of the truck.
The truck that does not fit in the garage.

Do I need to say more???

Recycling? Yes!
Miracles...no!

This is what is left of the cute little dresser...

This is all I have to make my $40.00 back...
Wish me luck!!!

And they say that it doesn't rain in California!!

Luckily...

White Wednesday

My Husband loves White Wednesday...
well,
...not exactly...
let me re phrase that...

My Husband would love White Wednesday if he knew what it was....

because since I participate in White Wednesday,

I have tackled and finished a hand full (or more!) of projects...

leaving enough space for him to park his car in the garage!

My Husband loves White Wednesday,
even when he has no clue of what White Wednesday is...

Thank you Kathleen for hosting!

What was I thinking...

when I made this shadow box?????


Creepy....

but cute....

In a freaky and dark kinda way...

that is!!!!

LOL!!!

UPDATE:
SOLD!
Don't know who bought it...
I'm afraid to ask....

Tax Day

You need a little reward if you already did your taxes...

But you also deserve a little something if you're still working on it...

You are probably feeling a little blue if you had to write a check...:(
so you definitely need a little treat....

And if you were lucky enough to have received a check...
don't spend it all in one place!

White Wednesday...

They are very small...about 3 inches tall...

Each one holds a vintage picture...

...a tiny glittered key....

and inspiring words...

They are very small in size...

but very big in charm!

and this White Wednesday hosted for sweet Kathleen from Faded Charm
was the perfect occasion to show them off!

25...again!!!!

....
Happy Birthday Dear Clara...
Happy Birthday To You!!!

Cheers to another 25!!!

TGIF

The cool things about selling to many stores,
all of them with different looks,
is that I can go
from the country...

to the beach...

to Paris...

without leaving my worktable!

This has been a crazy busy week.

I'm almost done with all the orders...

Now it's time for me to get a giant coffee...
yes, at 6:30 pm...
yes, I can still sleep 8 hours with no problems :)

and watch The Lakers.

Because...

unless you spend them doing something completely pointless"

Enjoy your weekend!!!
