Ok even I am getting a little bored and so these 2 days are combined.
Monday Laundry day in Sussex and rain rain rain.
I posted on the blog when I was able to get a connection but it was off and on all day long. Camp was quieter than usual, many had gone home for the week. Supper was leftovers. Tom ate 2 cookies. he never eats cookies unless they are made by my friend Heidi.
That was Monday in recap.
Tuesday was a fun day! First Tom went for a haircut in Sussex, he was starting to look like a hippy LOL kidding.
Then we decided to go to Saint John. Tom hadn't been to the Refit store so I took him in to look at wooden chairs. Not to buy anything just look. We are excited to know that there are lots of options for great stuff to repurpose for our home, its exactly what we like to do.
Even though we weren't buying, I found a wooden hutch. vintage 1970's not antique. Top part has small shelves on each side with a beveled diamond glass window door in the middle and the bottom part has 2 drawers and 2 doors. OMGosh, I have to have this. If I don't buy it now it will be gone by the next day or sooner. We talked to the staff about buying and storing but they don't have room to hold it for 3 weeks. I was sick to my stomach as we left the store. We went on to a few other places and then Value Village. (after all, it was Tuesday) I found another Sari and a silk scarf and even a cool velvet picture for Tom's Cabin. But I was still haunted by that shelf.
I got back in the truck after VV and Tom just said we can pick it up and bring to camp and cover with a tarp til we get in the house.
Can you say with me "Tom the Tarp Rope Man to the Rescue!!!!!"
Tom brought me and the dogs back to camp and then went back to pick up the shelf. I am so excited to have that for my studio. It will get painted white wash and distressed. I'm picturing jars of buttons and dodads on display.
Though we do try, it wasn't until the shelf was wrapped and roped that we remembered to take pictures, sorry all you are getting is the wrapped up pictures. It will be more fun to unveil as a future post anyway....
It was a beautiful cool sunny day, and while Tom was gone picking up the shelf, I sat outside, mostly to keep Highway from separation barking but it gave me undivided attention to take the Sari apart seam by seam. I didn't waste any of the fabric, many times the bead work is inside the seams and can be useful bits for my journals and bead making.
We had KFC for supper (we never learn) and a campfire at night until almost 11pm.
took a few pics of our drive to Saint John
