So in my job search I was thinking well why do i have to work in a store?? So im pondering some more. Other people make things and sell them why can't I?  Finishing my 4th dishcoth and thinkin i could do simple items for knitting at this point and find some funky designs. I think its been in my mind for awhile. My goal is to start selling knitted items online. Yes is been done before and perhaps it looks like I am following other family members but I had the idea for a long time. To blog and to sell stuff on the net. So theres my beginning.

So as you can see the chair is mine. Looks pretty nice i think. Im a little down a uncle passed away. not that i knew him it was hubbys uncle. I wasn't plannin on talkinga bout it but Its so final. So abrupt I think thats why ppl cry. Its like they been sucked outta your life. I can only imagine what aunty is feeling. Or honestly I can't imagine at all. Anyways Im moving forward death is apart of life isn't it. Whether we want it or are ready for it. Thats why I had to buy this chair. It was really important :) Im seeing it looks better in my house just with a simple pillow. You can tell they didn't want it anymore it was not apart of their decor. Its fit right in with our humble place we call home.

So now that I have some spare time I been doin productive things like lookin for chairs and regular chores. Sometimes :) Today I found this toile french style antique chair. I messaged them and awaiting more info. Im not sure what enticed me about this type of chair. Ok i see it and I see rachel Ashwell the shabby guru coming to my house and saying how much she loves the chair. Well perhaps its not flowery enough for her
but I like it just the same.  I would think bout painting it.. but I think it would ruin the antiquity of it. So now Ive have a word back from this chairholder he still has it. So I am bartering a bit. I admit im enjoying this however having a job would provide me with more stability to be abled to by all the chairs in the world. :)



So then on my kijiji adventure I found this little beauty. I think this one was $40 I inquired about it as well. Its a simple rocking chair with great detail in the spindles. I love this chair it for me will look great with a bright pillow for the seat from like pier 1 or ikea. I have seen great pillows from Liquidation world as well for a great price So thats what I been thinkin about. Chairs. :) So I got a response well see if this lovely little chair will be mine or not. Im so ready to go get a funky pillow from Fw now.

Theres this quaint Green Barn in Sherkston nestled just behind some trees and away from the traffic. Its antiques shabby style.Love the old plates and the canopy beds with authentic old style quilts. I should have taken some pictures while I was there. Theres these amazing barn board benches that I am so wanting. Dreamy old wood with a great finish on them.
I was also intrigued with a old victorian table with chipped white paint that is essential for this look. A larger blue painted table for the dining nook?

I also almost purchased a set of white chairs with a pinkish peachy toile on them. Sadly I couldn't take these home with me. They had a couple tents set up with old wicker chairs and fabulous older linens and crochet bed covers. I was in heaven I must say. To top it all off I got to pet the green barn mascot, Ghost the black lab. He was loving the ppl and waggin his tail. I can't wait to go back soon. And Yes Im working on that job thing.:)

WHat do I have to do.. I want your chairs

So the teak chair issue is still happening. I see they posted the 2 chairs for $30!!! what a steal. I responded to them Im totally crossing my fingers that they respond this time.

So I have in total about 25 give or take ghords. This was an unplanned ghord garden when hubby decided to spread out the broken down soil from the black box. So it was spread out and about 2 weeks later i see this huge leaves spreading out across the lawn. Now I do not live int he country as much I would love to. The ghords kept growing and the vines went up on the garage.I slowly have been picking the ghords. Green ones, little mini pumpkins, green ghords. I haven't been sure what I am going to do with them but I been researching ghord art. This wreath is one of the ideas I have and think I will attempt it. I may have to buy a new glue gun and go crazy. Thinking about it now I have dried flowers DH gave this this year and I dried them. So i may make 2 wreaths. This is the site if you have a ghord issue as well. Halloween is my absolutely favourite holiday even though we don't get the time off. Happy Ghord decorating to you. http://www.ehow.com/how_5609605_make-harvest-wreath-thanksgiving.html

The wind and the allergies.. and a striped chair too.

Head is full today as the wind was blowing dust and things are starting to stop growing. Needless to say I been sneezing quite alot and I'm about to fall over with lack of sleep.  I can't keep my eyes open and I am babysitting.  Not a good combination. I be thinking I need a coffee But i don't drink coffee!!! So I found this chair today on kijiji this is not helpin with the sleep thing.  It looks relatively good with no obvious distress or marks on it.  Its for the bargain of $45. Not sure where I would  put it. And do I change the colors? This pic is quite small so its hard to say.  Im trying really hard to stay awake here.I am goin through garage sale withdrawl. With babysitting I don't get to go out on a saturday to soothe my rummaging fix. So kijiji is helping with this withdrawl. Happy saturday to you. A bigger pic is available if you go here. http://stcatharines.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell-furniture-chairs-recliners-Chair-W0QQAdIdZ227890661. HAven't heard from the ppl for the teak chairs.  Maybe its a sign.

Kijiji bound.. treasures await you

So i saw these chairs on kijiji. I really like them there are 2 of them for $55. My sister in law has a blog as well and shes always posting craiglist items for sale.  I'm gonna hide here for a little bit longer not mentioning that I'm here.   We have 1 large chair with bulging looking arms and back. Reminds me of a sumo wrestler. So I was thinking of removing it out to the front porch. Where the chair out there will be shuffled off to the da da da dump. Lots of space for these funky chairs to go. Turning them to face the couch. Oh by golly I'm going designer on us. Worried that the kids will sit on them improperly and use them for their jungle gym tactics. :) Oh well moving on so fabric land will be visited maybe to make a cover for the couch. Also planning to fit these chair with some fresh fabric. Kids are in school i will have lots of time to do these little projects. For now I'm waiting on a message back from these kijiji ppl. Hope they are available this weekend.
