Scattered Thought




Yesterday we did a wee bit of thrift shopping. It's nice to live so close to the two we frequent the most.


There are a few things I'm always looking for, and if they are almost free, I will buy them.


Glass works with everything, but I am picky. I found a plate that looks like Fostoria.
Since I do not have a cake plate in that size, I looked around here until I found a glass candle stick, and I glued them together with glass glue. Voila!
I also watch for glass domes, the kind that originally came with a base. These make cute fake bell-jars. Everything looks better under glass. Well.., even 'nothing' looks better under glass. The glass defines exactly where the 'nothing' is.
I have a migraine. Can you tell?
Anyway...
Today was delightful. THGGM was home, and he and Jonge had a wonderful time together. They went to the park to play in the splash pad in the morning, came home, took naps, ate lunch and went back again. A PERFECT summer day.
Then there is Famke. She was sleepy and clingy and adorable. It took no effort at all to get her to sleep in my arms, but if I even THOUGHT about laying her in her crib - oh, did she have vocal opinions about that!
So THGGM took his afternoon nap with Famke, on the swing outside.
Famke returned to her sweet and happy disposition after her nap with her Pake. While the guys were at the park, she helped me pull weeds.
Oh. And she has a 'new' word that she likes to bandy about,
MINE!

freaking brilliant! I love cake stands, and I have noticed that the bigger more savvy thrift shops have upped their prices on them. Now i can make my own!
