First, I got a haircut - I love my hairdresser and he always makes me feel special and relaxed. Today I got a whole new look. My hair was almost shoulder length with grown out bangs (fringe for the rest of the world) and was dry and shaggy. This is much more fun - although hubby may freak when he sees how short the back is, lol.
Then I visited my favorite antique/resale shop for a little retail therapy. Sometimes I find things for mini projects but today I hit the jackpot and I left a lot for future trips. ;0) I found the two HOM kits for $5 each. I've never built one of them but enough of you have for me to want to try them. The bottom kit is for the dining table. I found the three fat quarters for $1 each. They are perfect mini scale. I think the fruit stripe on the left will be pretty on the HOM sofa.
And, finally, for the saloon I found a clear mug I can use for a large beer stein or a small pitcher and two silver candle chandeliers (both with some damage but nothing too bad) that I'm going to turn into kerosene lights.
I got all of that for $25. A small price to pay for a much needed hour or so of stress reduction.
Hope you all have a lovely day!

Great bargains!

What a bargain. I have put together lots of HOM kits and they are easy, biggest hint is wait for glue to dry before with fiddling more. I like your new hair cut, I need to do that been almost 2 years. I just cut on mine when it drives me crazy LOL. Love your Memory Trunk in your Etsy shop, it looks like a big one. Have fun with your new minis De.
Victoria :)
Thank you all. The biggest challenge with the hair will be tomorrow morning when I see if I can make it look good. That's always the scary part of a new hair style, lol.
Thanks, Victoria. The trunk is sized similarly to a foot locker. Not as big as a steamer trunk.
