This and That!

This week has been a disorganized array of this and that and I don't feel like I accomplished this or that. I have one bath redo in the final stages and a second with one coat of paint. And don't even ask where my "stuff" is like make up, cologne and other essentials us women need to function!

As a distraction today I went shopping. That usually soothes my soul but today the yard sales were the pits. I'm not a believer in bad luck on the 13th but this morning I was beginning to wonder.

I drug my Sad Sack little self into the Cracker Barrel Restaurant and my luck changed. Sitting there on the 50% discount table were these cute little mugs.


They had been marked down from $20 to $10. Not a steal but they are the exact color for the condo and there was only one set. Each cup was different so....


I scooped them up. I was beginning to feel better already.

When I got home I started to unload the dishwasher and this is what I found. It looks innocent enough, right?


Mr. Vintage S. had put this in the dishwasher. It was just a cute little "thingy" I had bought new this week for him to put in his bath (one of the baths that is in remodel chaos now) to hold Q-tips. Guess he wanted a sterile q-tip holder.  If you look closely, it is not red all over, half of the paint,dye whatever had come off in the dishwasher all over my dishes.



 To hopefully avoid poisoning or us turning the color of the glassware I ran the dishes back through the sterilize cycle.

What did I say about not believing in Friday 13th ?

Just then the doorbell rang. It was the FedEx man. I was so excited! This is what he was bringing.


I can't wait to try it out.

Thank you to all of you blogging friends out there who have been so helpful in sharing info. about your cameras and helping me decide on one! I'm sure it will take me a while to learn to use it but it will be fun to play. 
What did I say about Friday 13th?  It's just another day :)
Have a great week-end and ya'll come back.
