Boo!

happy halloween!

sorry it's been quiet here, we had to say goodbye to our furry buddy of 14 years.

he was the best little guy - to us at least, not the friendliest cat.

his name was gordon, but some liked to call him "gordiva".

back to business.
It's halloween!

 below are a few scary/not scary pics from
around our haunted/not haunted house.

i think we are ready for the little treaters. 

we interrupt spring

more springy decorating pics,

even though this happened yesterday.......

not nice!

back to bringing out the spring. 

i found the quilted piece on the bench at a resale shop.

not sure what the small quilt piece was for, 

it looks like it could have 

been a pillow cover, but it doesn't have

an opening.

 love all the different prints.

 please excuse the worn pink

terrycloth towel.

it's for gordon's post

when he's on neighborhood watch.

or snoozin'.

gordon's halloween

how cute is this from magpie ethel,
love the tuna 4 cats label.
i saw one similiar in her etsy shop,
 the original had sold, but she was able to
make similar one for me.
how nice!

she always puts a little something extra in her packages as a 

thank you.

how nice is that!

isn't it cute gordon?

hey!

noooooooo!

gotta go.

not scary anymore

heeeeeere's

gordon!

we finally had the chair with the scary fabric recovered.

went with the economically 

marine vinyl.

thanks for modeling.

much better.

haunted shopping

this building could be the perfect place for a haunted house, but instead it is a building full of treats.

not sure what this building was origonally built for, but now it houses vintage and retro items, 6,000 ft worth!  but only a small portion is open for shopping.

approaching the entrance and seeing this in the window i figured good things were ahead.

they had painted this mod entrance a few years ago and i had always wondered what was in the building, never saw any life, now we know.  area 51 vintage is the main biz here, oodles and scads is the other.  they will be having another sale in November, hope i can make it.

this way to cool vintage.

who doesn't need a few waves.

love this desk, there was a whole groovy yellow bedroom set available, mixed in behind other vintage items.

a lovely red vinyl couch.

would love to know where this originally came from.

what a lovely chair, other than the fabric, i can see it in off white fabric with brass nail heads? wood painted black?  or not?

sold. where there's a will there's a way.

at least somebody likes it, hum but this is the reason we are chair shopping. 

boo!
