Books

So, the other day I came upon a box of books by the curb.

Here's what I took (it's amazing)!





Table of contents:





Prayers for every occasion!





Truly wonderful.

I also took these, natch:





WOO!!

Get lait chaud with your espresso allongé.

Advice

If the wife can't see too good without her contact lenses, don't put the Red Hot on the toopthpaste shelf!!



She will in fact attempt to squeeze it onto her toothbrush.

Oooh!

My sister and I visited my grandmother last weekend, and she gave us some things to take home. I got these two sheepskin barstool covers (and a sewing machine)!



Mmm, soft.

I am thinking they will be two round cushions, each half sheepskin, half crochet.



OR: One sheepskin cushion and one crocheted cushion?

GARBAGE BOOKS!!



Yep, I snagged a few.

I'll show you soon...

New hairstyle?



The problem is: what to do with the rest of the hair.

Found last night!

On the way home from Greg's birthday party: a sturdy old wooden box!



Isn't it nice?

A handle on each side, one with number 3!



And on one end, a drawing...





What in heck is it supposed to be???

New York vignette



Do not use this can!



The can is broken.

I made this yoghurt

The idea is: buy milk in glass bottles from the farmers' market. Make yoghurt with it. Return bottles. Eliminate waste of several plastic yoghurt containers per week.

Yes!



But . . . it has a weird texture.

I am going to try again!

Sisters

We got our nails done (again).





Can you guess which is me? (Hint: Day-Glo)

Man, it's hot.



How hot is it?



Hmm. 80?

FOUND!

A Chair with Potential.





But—I did not feel like carrying it home.

Bye, CWP!

Rescued

From the back of the office supply shelf.





I want to keep it.
