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!
I wandered through my favorite antique/resale shop today and found some things with mini potential. The salt and pepper parlor stoves are perfectly scaled - I've used these before in projects. I already had a toilet and needed a sink for an upcoming project. The little house went into the craft room. The chair is a Christmas ornament but ...
...it looks very nice in the Magnolia Way living room.
I finally got my snowman collection packed away last week just in time to put a vase of the first daffodils on the dining room table. So maybe I waited too long this year...
