Weekend Plans

We're in New Hampshire for the weekend, going on Monday night.

So far I'm having a great weekend. I have the family room painted and I have the hallway all taped up and ready to paint. I'm doing that tomorrow and then ALL the painting will be done!!!! YAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!!!!!

I need to paint one bedroom and my dining room so badly, just can't get motivated.

Well, I'm tired and a little sore, but all the laundry is done, some drawers got organized & a bunch of stuff tossed out, house is clean all except the master bath, and I'll do that tomorrow afternoon. Oh, and the office is a mess, but hubby was working in it almost all day, and didn't want to disturb him by cleaning around him. So will catch that when I can. I cleaned both upstairs bedrooms and bathrooms because our daughter, Karen, is coming to visit for a couple of weeks and not sure which rooms she will be using.

No excitement, but it's nice around here.

Sure sounds like most everyone is having a very productive weekend.

Just got home from another full day of antiqueing at local fairgrounds.

As always, I really enjoyed myself. This time picked up 2 signed original oil paintings. They are both 20' x 24', one in a beautiful matted frame.
I was looking at them wondering why they were so cheap. One was $3.00 framed, the other was $5.00, canvas only. So the dealer came over and offered them both to me for $5.00! Said it was obvious I liked them both. Of course I bought them both for that price! They really are nice paintings. Not sure what I am going to do with them, have no room in my house!

Also got a arrowhead for my nephew. Talked the dealer into selling me only one out of his boxed collection.
Then got a few Christmas gifts also. One was a pin of THE Ruby Red Slippers with wand... my sister is a huge Wizard of Oz fan.

Last year at this same show bought a plant. It didn't come up this year. I was so disappointed. Called a Lucifer Monbrieta. Unlike its name, it is a very pretty flowering perennial. My friend Lu amd I were looking at them today, speaking to ourselves about what we could have done wrong that neither of the plants we bought came back this year. The dealer asked us what we saying, she remembered selling us the plants last year. So we nicely explained neither plant had come back. She was super nice and she bagged up two plants and gave them to us! We were shocked, did not expect her to do that. Told her we don't expect her to give us two more.. she insisted and off we went, happy as two larks!

The day is ending as nice as it started... now I need to get outside and plant my new perennial!

Shada, it sounds like you had a wonderful time antiqueing! I so love to go! I met someone Saturday that likes to go so maybe we can get together and go to a few. She had some great ideas on where to go.

I'd love to see the paintings that you bought. Why don't you take a picture of them and post it? I have a problem with buying things to go on my walls too when I don't have room for them. I love old pictures and shelves.
