this post comes after i have:
1. tip-toed thru many extremely creative blogs, (is that considered stalking?) & have been inspired
2. finally figured out how to change my background on my blog! (thanks, traci!)
3. realized how many creative & wonderful people i know...it about brings tears to my eyes...(go to traci's blog with all of those girls in the sonlight kitchen...!! AMAZING!!!)
4. been to church & heard yet ANOTHER great sermon by pastor pete
5. decided to throw myself into the project 365 thing; or what will probably end up being more like: project 2010, 300 days or less. :)

that's it for now. anything else & it sounds sappy. happy sunday to all!

these are just a few of my new treasures...the tea cup up in the big picture is chintz, & over-sized. it is my FAVORITE!! i'm kinda into gold stuff lately...not sure why, when it's been silver-silver-silver for the past 20 years!! and some of this stuff i have for sale at my new etsy shop: "somethingbluevintage". come visit!! it's hard to decide what to keep & what to sell; my husband would have me sell a lot more than i am!! i am such a collector/hoarder...it's a good way to go thru the stuff i REALLY love & stuff i get just cuz i think it's cool. the etsy shop doesn't have too much stuff yet, & nothing outta this world, but it's been fun! :)
i love these turquoise salt & pepper shakers!! (of course i'm keeping these. for now.) turquoise, aqua, & robin's egg blues are my absolute favorites, too.
these little porcelain hands were the first thing i sold at my shop!
and i just sold this little chalkboard...it's hard not to keep this stuff!!
i had to keep this little bowl. isn't it cute? i just love it.

if this scrapbook doesn't sell, i may just use it myself. & the card game boards i am selling, but also kept a set for me. :)

a fun vintage purse & this great children's book that i think is worth way more than what i paid for it!! only julie knows.... :)
here are some kid pics...mainly for you, sweet aunt lori!! :) these are from thanksgiving, i think.


a messy basement & a playstation: a great place for the kids!!! :)

and finally...the big boys playing a mean game of monopoly!

this is "mrs. gloop" & bailee as a candy-man kid in the play "willy wonka".
bailee & a fellow squirrel, lauren. aren't they cute? in a creepy-cute sorta way??
bailee & her nut. good times.
