Rainy Night Frags

.

We have been sooooo dry around here that my lawn gnome's beautiful green grass is now crunchy and brown!

Thank goodness it's rainin' out there tonight - - - wish it would keep it up at a nice steady pace for about three days.

But, while it's raining water drops out there, let it rain down some Friday Frags in here!!

Two FF's ago I talked about getting this lovely piece which then had to ride around in the hatch of my car for the better part of a week waiting for us to clear the 70's dresser out of our bedroom to make way for the new, which in this case is of course much older than the old.


For a long time I've wanted to fill our bedroom up with antique pieces which I prefer over the70's stuff we bought brand new in our newly wed era, circa 36 years ago. I'm loving the transformation.

There will be a couple more transformers later in this list of frags.

I got tired of my coffee table books just lying around all flat and boring. I saw this chest and thought it would make a perfect magazine "propper-upper."

And it does.

I believe someone must have made this as either a jewelry or silverware chest. All the little drawers are lined with green velvet.

Now the coffee table top doesn't have to be flat and boring any more.

I'm one of the few non-Miami, non-Florida people who actually WANT the Heat to win it all.

They are trying to eliminate the Indiana Pacers as I type this. By the time you read it, we'll all know whether they were successful tonight or not.

Today was Fisherhubby's and my 37th anniversary. Our dear friends, Eloise (pronounced E-Lois) and Bill stopped by with a pack of very fun things for us to open.

This antique french fry cutter was in the mix.


They also gave us two antique egg beaters, two different styles. You can find one of them in the upper right hand corner and the other in the lower left.

Transformer #2, a dry sink which is doubling as a bedside table.

I don't know WHY it looks crooked in my picture, it isn't really a crook at all.

A few days ago Fisherhubby asked me why he couldn't have a roll-top desk on his side of the bed instead of a bedside table. He's been wanting a roll-top for more than twenty years.

I poo-pooed the idea because frankly, I thought I had OTHER things in mind to put on his side of the bed.

The very next day, when I walked into Cranberry Creek, THIS is what I saw inside the door.

It had JUST arrived and wasn't even priced yet. I told Jodi to mark it "sold" and let me know the price as soon as she could get it appraised.

Today, just in time for our anniversary, it came home with us!!!

Happy Anniversary to you dear Fisherhubby.


The roll-top is Transformer #3, and I'm kinda liking how "his side" of the bed is shaping up.


Isn't he so lucky to have my Kindergarten "Christmas Baby" on his side of the room???

Poor Fisherhubby is in the middle of a 6 day stretch of working in the ER. He was SUPPOSED to have today off, but got called in for a couple of hours.

When he got home, he spent a good bit of time doing this, and I don't blame him.


In our pack of very fun anniversary gifts from Bill and Eloise today, we found this electric fly zapper swapper for Fisherhubby.

Right on the packaging there is a warning to NOT touch the mesh when it is on, or you will incur an electric shock.

Fisherhubby says he can't WAIT to zap me with it when I come out of the shower.

And that's all I'll say about that.
