{not quite vintage} black friday

tonight is our annual neighborhood party...here at our home, so i'll be busy, busy, busy all day - but i hope to make the black friday rounds this weekend. have a wonderful friday!

and that's all she wrote

white wednesday again

chippy, rusty medicine cabinet that i found for a song this fall
in it, you can see the reflection of the $5 white desk found at a garage sale this summer, as well

architectural salvage pieces that i've had for several years

wonderful color and shape

and its mate!

this was a raw wood, homemade candle holder that i painted white...75 cents at a garage sale, and it has a twin, too!

more over at kathleen's - home of "white wednesday"

muted

the autumn colors just haven't been on full display this year, like many places, due to unusual weather...and i was feeling a bit disappointed. but i spent some time visiting family in canada last week, and one day, the light was simply perfect for photos. so my sister took me out for a drive so i could take a few pictures. and you know, i just love the muted colors, too...

it turns out that one of the most beautiful, rusty old things of all was sitting right in their backyard. this is an old truck from my bil's side of the family. shades of light blue...

shades of green...and black

(shades of bonnie and clyde!!!)

rusty and rather despondent, left sitting...forgotten

i'm just sure there'd be some good stories if only this old mercury could talk

isn't she lovely?
