Repurposed Tin Tub Sink

This is such a great idea for a laundry room sink, isn't it? The cutout for the backsplash is perfect for this location. I would love to see more of this delightful room. via

Garage Sale Bowl Brings Big Bucks

You simply must read this 'hot off the press' blog post from I'm So Vintage

How much do you think this $3.00 tag sale bowl that was made in China is worth?

Can you believe it? WOW. I have to go look at the garage sale dish my cat is using.

Here is the link from the Sotheby's Catalog showing 3 different views including the bottom.

Workbench Desk

I like this old workbench converted to a desk. You never know when you might need a vice to work things out! This would be a great space for a bookbinder. via

Sunset on the snow

This is probably a sunrise but I'm calling it a sunset because that's the time of day right now. The sun has started going down and it won't be long now until dusk. I had a busy, busy, busy day and I'm glad day is done. I can almost hear someone playing Taps on a trumpet in the distance. via

Another Snow Day Today

"I thought you said Spring was tomorrow," Webster grumbled. We got about 3 inches of this white stuff topped by some sleet. Our little French bulldog house guest wants no part of putting his paws in it so I'm letting him sleep in. I'm not looking forward to going outside either but I must later. Do you think the groundhog was wrong this year?

Our Taxes are Finally Finished

I worked for 3 hours on Saturday and over 3 hours on Sunday on my taxes and today I mailed them to my accountant. Webster helped and so did Tabitha. Piggie napped in his crate so I could get my work done. I am so happy. I actually set the timer on my iPhone for the 3 hour self-imposed timeouts. They worked too. I was determined to wrap them up and I did. 

Irish Wolfhound Doorstop Displayed

I have more doorstops than I have doors. This one is very heavy and I never got around to putting felt on the bottom so I display it up high where I can enjoy it at eye level. It's on top of an old lingerie chest with clean lines that is covered in sheet music that I got years ago at a tag sale. I love the way this painted dog looks with the lamplight shining on it. 

Waiting for Spring

It won't be long now before the roses are climbing up the trellis of this lovely shingle-style home on Martha's Vineyard. The front door is open so let's go inside. via
