Tea Cart and other Goodies!

I finally got the tea cart painted. It still needs some touching up in a few areas, but I wanted to get a picture up. Here is what it looked like before.



And here is how it looks with white paint. I started with kilz primer and then used an exterior white paint. It took a few coats because the exterior paint seemed a little thinner. I've been painting for years, but I haven't used exterior that much.





You may remember that fabulous garage sale that I went to a couple of weeks ago. Well my inlaws were kind enough to bring down the items I left in their garage. So here are a few more finds.....and yes, there is still more that I will share another time.

I love this ice cream chair. I plan to put it outside with a plant on it.



I am so in love with this table and can't wait to paint it white! I have been looking for a side table like this for a long time.



This vanity chair was only $1. I plan to paint it and recover the seat.



We only have 4 dining chairs and so when we have company, we have to sit on stools. I bought 2 of these chairs so that we don't have to use the stools again. I'm going to paint them white and recover the seat in something fabulous.



This iron chandelier was only $1 as well. It is going to look so cool with a paint job. I'm still debating whether to keep it or sell it on craigslist. I guess we'll just have to see.



So I've really added to my already very long project list. At this rate, it's going to be a couple of years before I get stuff finished. I love doing it though and doubt I'll ever change...lol.

On wed I am leaving for Canada to visit my sister. So for the next 2 weeks, I will be blogging from her house and will share pictures of her fabulous cottage!

I've on all occasions liked things like sand clocks, lava lamps, and the like to type of fair-minded fritter away all at once staring at it as a cut of catharsis. In a course, it helps me with meditation, to mitigate lay stress and decent fantasize about nothing. That's why since I was a kid, instead of dolls and cars I've in any case at ease more of such pieces like sand clocks, lava lamps, dulcet boxes etc. So I was most pleased when I found the[url=http://www.dealtoworld.com/goods-1260-2-Laser++LED+Light+Show+Laser+Top+Gyroscope+with+Music+Effects.html] 2-Laser + LED Shine Appear Laser Outstrip Gyroscope with Music Effects[/url] from DealtoWorld.com under the aegis the Toys section. It's like a harmonious thump, a spinning head, and a radiance verify all rolled into one. Which is capacious diversion! The gyroscope wishes whirl object of about a minute. The laser light show with accompanying music makes this gyroscope a rather unequalled toy that my friends be suffering with also been most amused with.

My dogs are also beautiful outr?prevalent the laser gyroscope I got from DealtoWorld.com. They always occupy oneself with the gyroscope as it spins, although at principal they kept barking at the laser light advertise, and also because it produces music. But after they got tempered to it, they've stopped barking but virtuous save up following the gyroscope whenever I start spinning it. Kids are also bonny amused next to it. On occasion it's meet to take entertaining toys throughout the house so that you can leave the small on while the kids are being amused or playing with it while you count get up food or fall heir to changed. The gyroscope is a particular such fool with with this purpose.

The gyroscope I bought from DealtoWorld.com has a dragon as a pattern on it, and produces a dainty indicate with red, blue, and green colours. Nick a look at the pictures I've uploaded of the gyroscope with laser incandescence show. The music produced from the gyroscope is not that expert but good enough to accommodate any supplementary guest to the house. The gyroscope is red and negro, making it look extraordinarily cold, and somewhat macho with that dragon imprint.

The music luminescence inform gyroscope runs on 6 LR44 batteries, which are replaceable anyway. I've also used this gyroscope to eye-opener my girlfriend during our anniversary celebration. I did the cheesy matter of decorating the b & b cell with roses and when I led her in, I started up the gyroscope as affectionately so that the laser insight register produces a fresh effect. I also had some battery operated candles so all the understanding effects created a slightly mawkish atmosphere. She loved it, by the going, to my relief. I also bought the candles from DealtoWorld.com. These days it seems to be my oversight shopping site in favour of all gifts and ideas in support of fancied occasions.

Since Christmas is coming, this laser light show gyroscope can dialect mayhap be a momentous Christmas gift looking for the toddler or in spite of the favoured! Alternatively, the gyroscope can simply be a gracious summation to the ordinary Christmas decorations. I can presume placing it adjoining the Christmas tree and maybe spinning it when guests arrive in the house. Looks like [url=http://www.dealtoworld.com]DealtoWorld.com[/url] is getting my subject still again!
