What's That In The Trunk?

This is NOT the kind of

JUNK IN THE TRUNK

MyHero likes...

No indeedy..

He is much more inclined to like the

"other type"

of

Junk in the trunk...but if YOU think

that I am taking a picture of

THAT junk in the trunk..

You are sadly mistaken.

Nope!

Here's the kind I am talking about..

What all is in there you want to know?

Well...

First thing off loaded is a milk can!

What? Yep!

I can hear the conversation now when MyHero gets home

(Unless of course, I can hide it somewhere first)

What the heck are you going to do with THAT?

Well...not sure yet...but I do have a small round glass top

that has been looking for a stand

and the wind won't blow it away

coming off the Bay!

And look-it's got a ship decoupaged (men hate that term)

onto one side. Cute huh?

Yeah...right!

What ELSE did you bring home today?

Well...we got us a desk..

Do we need a desk?

Nope-but Lulu does...

Can't you see it all painted off-white?

MyHero's response.....NOPE! Sure can't!

Well, trust me-

It will be darling...(another term men hate)

LOOK-The top opens..

Are you excited now?

NOPE!And LOOK!

Here's a chair I will paint & recover to match it!
MyHero's response...

Yeah? When are you going to do that?

Before or after work?

~I hate smart alecks~

Well, then....he wants to know..

What's the OTHER chair for????
Let's start the spiral down..

What chair?

That one (pointing)

Ohhhhhh...yeah.....

(hmmm...forgot to stash this one off to the side somewhere)

Well, I'm gonna paint that one too...

and recover it...

and...

I am interupted with...

Yeah...But WHERE are you going to put it/use it?

Ahhhh...this one is a

TIME OUT CHAIR...

Who, pray tell, needs a time out chair?

What do you mean for WHO?

Who do you think needs a time out chair?

You've got grandchildren, you know..

Certainly ONE of them must need a TIME OUT CHAIR.

(and wait til you see how cute that is gonna look all painted up)

ummmhmmmm...playing along now.....

I can't wait to see THAT-he mutters-pretending he means it...

Well, at least I got these hidden away before he got home...

Close your eyes, Laurie

(from Heavens Walk)

cuz I know these next two items are gonna make you cry...

Close up of bottomI suppose you don't want to know I got them for under $1.00 each?

Yeah...sorry chicky...wipe your tears...

However..

The thing I loved most is the thing I spotted as I was leaving

this little not-often visited

thrift shop..I don't know if you can tell or not

but the inside is opalescent

and beautiful.

Not a mar on it..

I won't tell you how little I paid for it

because you wouldn't believe me anyway.

Isn't it gorgeous?

Going in my china cabinet SOOON.

Today!

Before you-know-who notices!


Now, I have to tell you..

My friend, Debbie

over at

lakehouse

had me wondering what all the hoopla was about

over Shabby Chic sheets at Target.

I have looked at them several times over the years..

but I thought 250 count COTTON?

They must feel kind of like burlap..

Did you ever buy cheap 250 count cotton sheets?

Yeah...they feel like they were smoothed with a Brillo pad!

However, Rachel Ashwell's Shabby Chic sheets are not cheap..

But I couldn't believe the would be much different from others

with that thread count..

Anyway..

long story even longer...

I got a rain check last week for some King sized ones..

because MyHero is a king-sized kinda guy..

He likes to spread out in the bed..

And I sleep hot..

Like a little warming oven...

Even warmer when it is hot and humid..

but that is not the point here.

The point is..

I cashed my rain check in and bought some sheets

like Debbie!

OMGOSH!

I cannot believe

How silky and fine they are.

What have I been missing all these years?

I took those suckers outta the package

and quick as a wink put them into the

washing machine and washed them with

this

When I heard about Meyers and found it

I thought-

Wow!

This is pretty expensive stuff.

But I read the instructions..

One/half cap of detergent?

One/quarter cap of softener?

Really?

Really!

It does the trick and my laundry has

NEVER EVER

smelled so good.

The sheets are outside on the line drying right now..

because I love sheets that are sun dried.

As soon as the wind and sun dry them

I will rush to get them on the bed

before MyHero gets home.

He will be so surprised.

As soon as MyHero climbs into bed tonight..

He is gonna be one happy guy!

And that's all I'm gonna say about that!
