I hopped on your blog because you had left a comment (where I can't remember now) that you have R.A and fibromyalgia. I have them both too. I'm having a rough night with it, but your post made me laugh! The part where your mom thought the little embroidered police man looked like a crossing gaurd...and who whould want to grow up to be a crossing gaurd??? That just gave me the giggles!!<br />Anyway, I'm so so sorry that you have R.A too. It can almost be more emotionally challenging than physical, because it limits us in so many ways. <br />And it sounds like you are facing a very challenging time with your dear mother. I hope all is going well now that she's lving with you.<br />Thank you for making me laugh a little tonight. :)<br />Take Care, EricaErica of Golden Egg Vintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02783949461372725811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3886731377043633684.post-75356332561328308122011-12-08T21:52:57.964-06:002011-12-08T21:52:57.964-06:00OMG...I love a good estate sale!

I am in trouble with a capital ...Oh Janny girl..... I am in trouble with a capital T. First of all, I'm back-tracking your past blogs since I am so new to all of this. Anywho, this post about one of your many junkin' trips has given me so many ideas and inspirations that I am going to want to buy even more stuff than I already do. So the trouble I refer to is that I really don't think this house I just bought is going to be big enough for it all. Not even if I stuff the basement and the 3rd floor. So much for Spencer's attic bedroom and the man cave up there. Some day (hopefully decades away) someone will be standing in line for my Hoarder's Sale! YIKES! I am so glad you photograph all your finds. I have been following Fiona and Twig for a couple months, probably because I saw it on your list. I did not know you personally knew her. You too must be a riot to watch trying to push past each other to get those deals. I hope you're getting back into the "swang" of things. Tell Junie I said hello!nancy leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02901675494282376931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3886731377043633684.post-80059418790174067842010-02-06T11:45:48.230-06:002010-02-06T11:45:48.230-06:00I'm wishing for the paint brushes...will they ...I'm wishing for the paint brushes...will they go on your etsy?

Attach an old ceiling light fixture right side up, so it looks like a bowl sitting on top of the lamp base. The fixture has to have a hole in the center of it to attach properly. I have always wanted to find a use for these vintage ceiling fixtures!
