***Happy Dance***

Yesterday I spent the day with Rocketgirl browsing around and purchasing from some of our favorite shops around town. Our day started with a visit to a lovely garden shop where RG gave me a few mini lessons on gardening. Namely, how to plant one of my favorite flowers (Hydrangeas) in a urn. I know what you are thinking...how hard is that? But I have never done that or anything resembling gardening or landscaping before. I have a lot to learn if I want to beautiful my yard with gardens. Next we went to a big box store to compare the garden centers to the beautiful nursery...truly no comparison.

We had to stop in at Home Sense (Canada's Home Goods equivalent). I found some beautiful items there: a lovely robins egg blue vase shaped like a tree truck complete with birds that you can arrange blooms in. After trailing a lady for a while hoping she put back a much coveted item, we were victorious and left for our next destination. Roses and Rutabagas-quite possibly my own personal heaven. So many pretty home decor items to get there, but I have to get a little further on in my decor of the house to decide on a few items.

Lastly, we drove over to 'our' (we have a stake in that place don't we?) thrift store to take a peek at potential treasures. Yes, I had a few items I was scoping for. Mainly I was looking for a desk for the guest bed/sewing/craft room. I am happy to say, after a few months of looking I have found her. She doesn't look like much now-but I assure you, she will be a looker. In distressed white. Lovely. Here she is in not so much all of her glory:

Sorry about the blurry iPhone pics...I love the table top edge...



Look at this hardware! I will likely use some crystal pulls or knobs. Maybe in a light blue? If not the default clear...



Now once again, all I need is a fairly warm wind free day sans rain and I will tackle her! Can't wait! I promise an update!
