And I didn’t do much! :-)
March came in with lots of wind and a cold air mass…bloody hell, I getting tired of the wind.
So after a warm breakfast we headed out to the Elks Club rummage sale at the south end of town. I love going to their sales ~ there’s this wee old lady who gives you the best deals! Two new t-shirts, copper mold, books, coffee cup, radio, wall hanging (pictured below) and some more books for $5.
I’m going to paint over the French waiter on this wall hanging I got…I think I’m going to pop off that plastic door knob and put either a hook or one of my old glass door knobs on it.
The Physicians Wives had their rummage sale on Saturday too…later in the afternoon I went ~ paid my $2 to get pushed, shoved, run over by baby carriages, and assaulted by rude women, men and children alike. Never will I set foot in their operation again.
I got in my car and headed south on Wells to the Four Seasons House…a local antique and gift shop at 628 S. Wells Avenue, Reno 89502…Where Every Day is a Holiday! I love that place, nice and quiet with lots of vintage and unique items to browse through. Bought 2 more green handled kitchen utensils for my kitchen display, a bottle opener for my husband, and a 1920’s postcard for myself to use someday in an art project.
That evening I started making Feather Tree Ornaments from rummikubs. I picked up a cd a long time ago with vintage postcards on it…printed out Easter, St. Patrick’s Day and 4th of July artwork then started making my ornaments. I have a feather tree at work that I decorate for each holiday. It has both Easter and St. Patricks on it this month. I followed Sue’s (Perpetualplum) altered domino tutorial and tweaked to fit what I had on hand.
I’ve drilled holes in the rummikubs and started gluing the images on the backs (ornament’s front).
Gluing paper that I bought at a yard sale on the front tiles (will be the back of my ornament).
Cut the foil tape and starting to attach them around the edges.
Just a close up ~ next step is to add a glass bead and hook!
Sunday was much cooler than Saturday, had lots of sunshine…and that bloody cold wind. Hit the El Rancho Swap Meet in Sparks. I only found an old wooden fishing bobber to add to my collection while my husband came home with another Dale Earnhardt collectible and a ratchet. LOL! He loves finding tools…even if it meant he had to buy from the guy who beats him to the tools at local yard sales.
And now for something completely different ~
Plate of my homemade whole wheat tortillas ~ made pork tacos last night (Boston butt roast stewed all day long and then pulled and put into ziplocks for pesole, tacos, and bbq sandwiches).
Last but not least ~ my Maxie wanting to know when I was going to finish crafting and turn out the lights!
