1. on monday, we got the idea to make a small brick pathway from our back steps to the yard. it is a small space but needed stepping stones or something. we had a lot of old brick that the previous owner had saved so decided to try it out.
first, we dug up the dirt and tried out some different arrangements for the brick.
then we strategically placed the bricks where we wanted them, filled in the cracks with dirt and packed them down as well as we could. messy and so hot outside.
our finished product.
2. and here is a find i had at the antique mall. an old metal hanger that works perfectly for necklaces.
3. wil learned to iron a shirt yesterday. he has decided that he needs to be wearing nicer shirts and he wants them ironed. we had a lesson. i wish i had photos to share.
4. we also finished hanging all the artwork in our office. we decided to fill the walls with photos and paintings from the baseboard to the trim.
i was the assistant while pb did the hanging. evidently i have a problem with distractions like piniterest when i can see the computer. i was told i would have been fired if i was his real assistant.
5. one of our antique malls has just opened a patio outside and it is full of iron and metal pieces. it was too hot to look for long yesterday, but these are some of the things i spotted.
this metal base (which is upside down) that would be great for a concrete circular table top.
this metal frame. it would be a perfect mirror or headboard, or anything!
the mass of stuff.
and i did come home with these. there were only five but $2.00 for all of them. delicate little vintage champagne flutes or wine glasses.
6. and our dear cat has been walking back to our old house this week. he left a lot of friends over there and there are not any cats around us right now. i think he is lonely. it has been heart wrenching to watch. do cats get depressed?
after 3 trips to go get him, he has finally resigned himself to stay at his new home. maybe he just needed some closure.
have a happy friday!
