What a cool date. Bummed that we were running behind this morning & didn't get a chance to take a pic like the one I did last year when it was 12.12.12....
I realized this morning that I had no eggs. My pantry is barren. I haven't gone shopping in quite a while. So it was McD's for breakfast...and since we haven't done that in months I didn't feel too bad about it :)
Oh well, next year I can get one when it's 12.13.14. Or maybe I'll just take a pic tomorrow....ssshhhh, no one will know! haha
Last Saturday was the Monroe Street holiday open house and since I had some big pieces go on to new homes I took a few new pieces down to the store.
I painted this buffet in Chateau Grey & used clear wax on it. I love this paint color because it's more of an olive green than grey (or maybe a combo of both??). I love the color!
The guy I bought this buffet from was a super nice guy with a very heavy Italian accent (apparently he had just moved here recently). And he said he was suprised when I showed up to pick it up because he said he didn't think this was a piece of furniture that a 'younger' person would like. I said 'oh, I'm going to redo it and it'll look totally different!' But I got a kick out that :)
And I really wanted to keep this dresser that I painted in Provence with clear wax. I left the drawer fronts in the original wood color because I loved the design on the bottom drawer (that I realized after I took the picture is half covered!).
But since this little 'business' of mine is basically funding our Disney trip...I want to go to Disney more than I want to keep the dresser ;)
I also marked down several pieces in my booth...mostly smaller furniture pieces and my fall items.
Yesterday we headed out to the mall to do some Christmas shopping...well, Christmas shopping in the sense that I wanted to see what clothes fit my daughter (what sizes) and what else the kids wanted so I can let Santa know :)
We found these cool remote control helicopters...
I found some cool slippers & my daughter found lots of stuff at Aeropostle she liked (of course!)
I can imagine wearing those zebra slippers at my next scrapbook retreat :)
And the most favorite thing that I found at the Hallmark store...
It's a countdown to Christmas 'radio'. For every day it plays an old fashioned radio broadcast & music! And you can hook your iphone/ipod up to it! I seriously need it. I may heading back to the mall this week to get it...cause if I don't I know I'll regret it.
And I'm sure Addie & I will be heading back to the mall anyway this week for some shopping! I've probably mentioned it before but 2 of my kids have birthdays just after Christmas so I have to do the shopping for that as well. So I usually do all of the Christmas & birthday shopping before Christmas...because after Christmas there's just nothing left in the stores.
But for now I have some grocery shopping to do so we'll be able to eat again!!
