I’m neglecting things again, aren’t I? Been working hard trying to get the site ready for Christmas. Working late and more days than usual. I haven’t even been out as much as I normally go.  But two weeks ago, I did go to a pink lady’s estate sale. And I’m not talking about hospital helper Pink Lady. This lady loved pink. She painted everything pink.

At first I thought, “How nice. I like her. She must have been a little ahead of her time. That’s nice painted pink. And that. And that… and … that….. and ……that …. and….. Oh, I feel nauseous.” It all started to look like Pepto.  Now, far be it from me to criticize pink. I love it, too.  But things were painted pink that should not have been. Too many things. And Lordy, she had the stuff! Some really good stuff, too. You just had to see past the Pepto Ocean. Here are some of the things I found. The swan and maybe the trim didn’t come from that sale, but the rest did. All of this is for sale on the web site in case you’re interested. (Shameless plug)

What’s that you say? There’s nothing pink in those pictures? How did that happen? Here’s my favorite purchase from there. A pink wall mailbox. I played around with it to show different things we can do with it.

I had to have bought more than that, but I can’t think what at the moment. I did poke around with everybody else in the pile of garbage on the street, though. Other people were finding some cool things. I did not. Every time I’d start to give up, someone would find a minor treasure and I’d start digging again. But I was coming up with nothing, so I left to meet a friend for lunch.

Oh, I did get a small, chippy, rusty cabinet that’s still riding in my trunk and a loving cup I think I’ll keep.

Until next time,

Wanda
