First thing I find down the street curbside.
Would you pick this up? I wanted to but I just couldn't do it.
I thought about just putting dark stain on the wood and making it a small table.
I walked away. I have so much to do I just couldn't do it. I would have to go back get the car and then lift it. I could have but I just let it go.
What would you do?
This is Miss Harmony. I have watched her since she was a baby, she's 2 now! Just a little bit hyper.
She's a sweetie.
She likes her picture taken.
The Tabebuie trees are blooming. They are my favorite.
I finally got one but it's only 2 inches high so it will be a while before they bloom.
Pretty azalea's
I think these are some kind of jasmine.
We have lots of kitties in our neighborhood.
This guy is a pain....I always think he is trying to bite my heals.
Always standing in the middle of the street, I can't believe he doesn't get hit.
Pretty white azalea's
Pretty boganvilla
Thorns!
I bought these at the thrift store.
I think they are pretty cool.
See the cutting board?
I think I will take that out, it's so heavy.
I like the hardware.
It will be lots of work but worth it.
Not too sure if I will be painting this part.
My buddy Bailey, always waiting for me.
Jack enjoying the pretty weather.
I have this thing for platters, especially with flowers on them.
I don't care if it's worn.
Anyway.....I'm linking with...
Would You Buy it? Wednesday(or pick up curbside)

I would have passed the spool ...I wouldn't have brought the big cupboard home but I can't wait to see how great you make it look...Little dog syndrome...I can't believe it's owner just lets it run loose! and I don't think retrievers ever settle down. I have a weakness for platters...I hate it when people ask if mine are for sale...they are but I love them so nobdy wants to pay as much as I want to keep them...silly me
I love the yellow flower trees, too...some in our neighborhood, but none here...yet. I just got through the purple tree flowering..and can't remember the name of it. All the flowers end up in our open pool. Your jasmine is Star Jasmine. I love the little Powder Puff bush...like the Bottle Brush trees. I think I would have passed on the spool, too, because of it's size. It would take a lot of space in a booth. Did you see the cover of Tea Time with the pretty Limoges rose teacup? I might have to make a trip to Art Angels to check out your booth. Thinking about the cobalt thing for a birthday present for my mom.
What a beautiful walk! Loved everything!

I loved sharing your walk and seeing all the wonderful greenery and treasures along the way. I would have loved to have been able to tip that cable reel and to have been able to 'roll' it home...but I probably would not have been strong enough to tip it (sigh)..what fun. Thanks for sharing. I am now a follower of your blog and look forward to return visits. I invite you to join me as well on my blog at http://atastefultouch.blogspot.com

I would have wheeled that spool right on home with me. I'm guessing you haven't seen the book table on casters made from a spool. Quick! Go get it before it's gone! :@
Thanks for a little taste of spring with your gorgeous floral photos.
Pretty - pretty - pretty! All of it is so pretty!

Hi Sue,
Lovely day here today. Spring is in the air, I can feel it. We don´t have near as beautiful flowers in our trees around here! These are amazing! If I´ve had my car.. I would´ve hauled that spool in! Did you see what they did in Country Living? I think that´s so clever. Take a look here (then go get it ;)):

The cupboard is very nice. I haven´t seen one with a pull-out board before. Cute! Will you paint it with ASCP? I have some news! I have finally found a stockist here in Sweden! They are the only one. Unfortunately they won´t deliver the paint during winter. Something about the paint being sensitive to coldness. Just my luck!
I have read so many reviews and am anxious to try myself. What are your thoughts about the ASCP? I´d love to hear. How long will a quart last you think? Which colors do you like best? I have looked at the color chart and compared it with painted objects seen on the internet. I think the chart is somewhat misleading. The color on the chart seems to be darker..? What´s your experience?
Lots of questions. Hope you don´t mind.
Have a great day!
Hugs

Sue, It's hard for me to believe you didn't pick that spool up! But I know you have tons to do. I would have done what you suggested, paint, distress, use for a table. I saw one cut down to coffee table size... Your pictures of all the blooms on your street look so pretty. And I've run into that little doggie dictator before - he thinks he is a big dog! Ann
I remember is the late 70's when those spools were popular for outside tables! You were right tooo heavy! Love this weather, but i hear we are going to freeze OK 65 degrees tomorrow LOL!

I loved sharing your walk, KarenSue! I have run across items that are too much of a hassle, too...most notably an entire 1940's telephone switchboard operator setup! Would have been so cool for Junk Bonanza, but nobody could move it...it was so heavy! I knew I'd never get it anywhere and had to walk away...
Hello, so nice of you to become a follower of my blog. I like it....! Yours is also inspiring so I will follow you also.
Beybey, Sylvia
