This weekend was rather low-key compared to last weekend.
I went to one thrift store and spent one dollar and fifty cents.
While THGGM shoveled, got the oil changed, and did other manly things, I tweaked a corner of the kitchen.
Gone from the corner shelf are all of my striped and dotted bowls.
This time I went with plaids.
These colors make me happy. At least in the kitchen they do.
My striped and dotted bowls are around the corner on shelves awaiting more tweaking. I've got to do an evaluation on who can reach what before I find permanent places for them.
I wish that THGGM would do that before he puts things in upper cupboards that I cannot reach.
Oh, yes. I DO like this!
Okay, maybe the doll in the tin cup is a bit weird, even for me. I might have to rethink that one.
I'd forgotten all about the small blue thermos, so that was a happy re-find!
Since there are only two actual shelves, I suggested to THGGM that he make me two more.
He told me that I have seriously over estimated his abilities with a saw. Maybe. But it would be worth a try.
I love strings of white lights. These are left on all the time. Ambient lighting makes everything more cozy.
So, that's what I did on Saturday.
Next weekend I'm hoping to work on the other side of the kitchen.
If I do, I'm sure there will be pictures.

It's really SCARY to read your posts sometime! I have a mantel filled with plaid right now - including a couple of thermos that look just like yours! And I have a basket full of kids plates (mine has a cover on it and it sits on our back porch 'cause our g'kids are here infrequently)! I just can't pass up the cute plates/cups, etc. when I see them. I have at least one for all 11 of ours now. I think I will stop purchasing them!
:You have a tweaking knack..and I think that it's excellent! I love those plaid items, reminds me of when I was a kid. I also love the lights, and I may just have to find a place to string some. Can't wait till the new knee is up to more use, right now I'm kind of limited, but this isn't going to last forever - I hope!
Pretty, Pretty, Pretty!
Love the plaid corner...
