Tidbits


My mom-in-law brought me these vintage beauties yesterday.

Linen kitchen towels. yay!

If you haven't used one, you must. You just must.
They're pretty awesome.
They don't wipe the water around, they actually absorb the water.
If you happen to see one at a yard sale for a 50 cents or a buck, pick it up for you. Or me. whichever. =)

So right now as we speak, my sweet son informed me that he's all done. It's all in the garbage he's telling me. What's he referring to?

Oh, just the nasty dog hair and stuff that he vacuumed up in the shark. You see, he's been vacuuming for close to 1/2 hour now. He's infatuated with the shark. We keep it charged just for his enjoyment.

It's cute and really funny to watch him push this around. And, empty the little tray into the garbage.



It's not child labor if they want to do it, right?

I'm currently in the process of turning Haley's old room (she's downstairs now with her own tiki bar) into Nick's playroom/art room. This is turning into more work than I'd like, but whatcha gonna do. If you want the results you have to do the work, right? So, it's painting for Memorial weekend. And hitting the yard sales. I'm looking for a table like this for the new playroom.



I'm thinking if I can find a table that size and maybe cut down the legs and paint it. It'll work, dontcha think?

I hope you all have a fabulous Tuesday. I've just been beckoned by my little guy to 'pay wiff me'. How can I even resist that?

I can't. =)

    We have a duster here, too. Isn't that too cute that our little guys are such cleaners? :D

  4. I love linen towels myself. The Shark love is brilliant, I hope Nick keeps it up until he is married. Then I have a bride for him :)
