Yard Sale Pickins.






  Yesterday, we had a benefit yard sale for Wyatt! There was a lot of stuff, so we decided to buy some things too! So I went yard sale picking. There was no Slim Pickins here. Some Wonderful Gut stuff (if you wanna talk Dutch!!)
   Ok, first item. Item of my dreams. I've wanted a peacock chair since I was a little girl. I mean, this chair was EVERYWHERE. Morticia Addams had one. I saw it in a Partrdige Family promo photo. Marc Bolan was even seen with one. I've only seen a few in my life, always too expensive. Then we got a bargain! I hope to crochet some flowers to stick on parts of the chair, very garden like.
   Second, this is a weird photo, odd angle. I was taking photos with my Mother's Kindle. These are actually really small, little Delft figurites. Our family always dug the Delft!
  Third, a little Avon boxy thing. It might have been lip balm, but it's powdery at the same time. I can barely read the back label. It smells nice though.
   Fourth, a Hello Kitty Messenger bag! I love Snoopy and Hello Kitty. Snoopy especially. The only dog I tolerate!
   Five, an I Like Boys pin. Because seriously, I like boys and why not have a pin that states it so plainly?
   Six, I love this. I really do. It's a photo of a stone gargoyle, fish, screaming man. Whatever it is. I saw it and I thought it was so funny. It's been a day and I am still laughing. Why not have something interesting in your room, to go with your peacock chair and Blues Brothers poster? That's right, none of those things match, it's just fun!
   Been to any good yard sales as of late?

70s Goodies and Team Wyatt Pins!



I have a few things to show you today!! The first photo contains one of the beautiful pins that Cousin Jessy made! We are all wearing them to support Wyatt. Wyatt is doing quite good by the way, he was walking today with the help of a nurse! I will be wearing my pin every day!! Thanks, Jessy!
Second, Aunt Susie sent me a big box of crochet and knitting magazines!!Most of them are from the 70s and 80s, lots of amazing patterns! The headband I am including here is the fruit of one of these patterns! Retro gold!
It took a long time to put together (ok, sewing the blue part to the green part took two episodes of "Buffy The Vampire Slayer", the rest was pretty quick) this headband will be sold at the yard sale to benefit Wyatt. Go Team Wyatt!
