On a recent visit to New Orleans, I ate breakfast with my son and daughter at La Boulangerie on Magazine street. I loved this wheat toast with avocado and eggs! What is your favorite breakfast? If you are ever in New Orleans, I recommend a visit there. You won't be disappointed! <a class="C8TUKc i4bytFd8S5vE-6WH35iSZ2V0 rllt__link a-no-hover-decoration" data-cid="18011016154565619726" data-rtid="i4bytFd8S5vE" data-ved="0ahUKEwiD3oXeuMrbAhWLh1QKHdBkAZsQyTMINDAA" href="https://www.blogger.com/null" jsaction="r.UQJvbqFUibg;" jsl="$x 2;" role="link" style="background-color: #fafafa; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.54); cursor: pointer; display: inline !important; font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; overflow: hidden; z-index: 2;" tabindex="0"></a><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I have neglected my blog! Thought I would try to get back to blogging at least once a week by posting some of my favorite pictures. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This one was made in New Orleans the first week of July at the Audubon Zoo. My grandsons went with me to visit my son, and had a wonderful time at the Cool Zoo! I have a picture of Connor (the one on the bottom) made several years ago in the same tree.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Cooper (top picture) had a great time at the zoo! He didn't remember coming to the zoo before. I think he must have been around 2 years old.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">If you are ever in the area, the zoo in New Orleans is great! Well worth the time. </span><br />

I'm trying to get my blog going again and can't think of a better way than linking to Beverly's Pink Saturday event! Her blog was one of the first I visited, and I linked to quite a few Pink Saturday events!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm still going to estate sales! This pic is of a sale I went to today! The kind of sale all junkers love! Everything was really clean, neat and cheap! Not sure what I will do with the chenille fabric scraps, but the frame will probably become a chalkboard. Under the pink are two cool vintage lamps!</div>

Last night Connor spent the night and helped me set up this nativity. I’ve had this one for  awhile, and can’t remember where it came from…but it was either a yard sale or thrift store. I like it because the pieces are so big! It has a few nicks and so on, but I’m still going to  hang on to it! Hope all of you have a wonderful Christmas. I will start back with 2nd Time Around in Jan of 2012!</strong></p> <p><img title="IMG_1619" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: block; border-left-width: 0px; float: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; border-right-width: 0px" height="416" alt="IMG_1619" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-7MFgu3y47Gc/TvCUDFIZBFI/AAAAAAAALOo/N25m4S7fvc0/IMG_1619_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="554" border="0" /></p> <p> </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-2dxsrEkixqg/TvCUD6_i6oI/AAAAAAAALOw/Lhqm013btqU/s1600-h/IMG_1612%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img title="IMG_1612" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="416" alt="IMG_1612" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-3kZA8OQGybg/TvCUEF2nQRI/AAAAAAAALO4/6Rk3ARof88M/IMG_1612_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="554" border="0" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhckg-QYXn16tR_9feHKTcBB_7MkwhZCG7uMI4hPuYLosSNtEFmsC_ny3o9KqSJePyH-h1Ayi_UksuBCacUbXDVCrlc8fpJjPfhfFw_tBe-TyNTsCC1IwNpmGJmt91Yfj6ItBGioMVNqoE/s1600-h/IMG_1616%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img title="IMG_1616" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="416" alt="IMG_1616" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-B7SSwRzKZH8/TvCUFkjMXuI/AAAAAAAALPI/gAyq9CFSV80/IMG_1616_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="554" border="0" /></a></p> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.blenza.com/linkies/easylink.php?owner=diane694&postid=20Dec2011"></script> Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18153639342948707831noreply@blogger.com16tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3887026011030740030.post-40068053881256648622011-12-12T19:56:00.001-06:002011-12-12T19:56:43.819-06:002nd Time Around: Facelift for 1950’s Furniture<p> </p> <p><img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_OBuICZM0MjU/S1UGbopL4LI/AAAAAAAAKXI/9vfDEE6CzOo/Jackson%20005_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" /></p> <p align="left"><strong>Welcome to 2nd Time Around.

<strong>As I have mentioned before, one of my favorite things to do while traveling to visit my student interns is to shop all the thrift stores along the routes. This semester, I have a student placed at a school in Reform, Ala. In the past couple of years, I have made contacts and become friends with Joan, who has a resale shop that is run for charity. When she knows that I’m coming, she will gather up some things that she thinks I might like.</strong></div>

<strong>Recently, I bought a whole box of these hand made ceramic angels! They came in really handy this past weekend. We had an open house at the flea market, and I used these pretty little angels to decorate my tree! I wish I knew who made them, and why they ended up in the thrift store! I love them…actually they are much prettier than the pictures show!</strong></div>

<strong>Recently, my mother in law passed away. She had been at an assisted living apartment for several years, and had already sold many of her household items so there was not much furniture left to sell or divide. </strong></div>
<div align="left">
<strong><br /></strong></div>
<div align="left">
<strong>My husband had always liked this cabinet, and wanted to make room for it. I had barrister bookcases in this corner, and have moved them somewhere else.</strong></div>
<div align="left">
<strong>I wasn’t sure I would like the piece in our living room, but plan to use it as a curio cabinet or bookcase. As it turned out, I’m very pleased with how well the piece fit in our room. It is a perfect fit for this corner, and gives us lots of extra space. And, the cabinet is a sweet reminder of my mother in law!</strong></div>
<div align="left">
<strong><br /></strong></div>
<div align="left">
<strong>This will be our first holiday season without her, and she will be missed! She died one day before her 90th birthday! We are thankful that she did not suffer for long, and was able to stay in her small assisted living apartment rather than go to the nursing home. </strong></div>

<b style="background-color: transparent; text-align: left;">Last week I made this chalkboard for one of my booths, and was
glad to hear that it sold the same day I brought it in! This frame was an ugly
gold color with a floral print. I painted the frame and used a stain to antique
it and painted over the picture with chalkboard paint. Selling this inspired me

<strong>I don’t normally go around dumpster diving, but couldn’t help my self this past weekend in New Orleans, La. After eating a wonderful brunch at Commanders Palace, my friends and I walked down the street to see this house.</strong><br />

<strong>Do you know who owns the house? Sandra Bullock! It didn’t appear that she was home, so we didn’t get invited in! But right by her driveway laying right on top of a big trash can were some great pieces of fabric!</strong><br />

<strong>I’m not sure what this piece is called, but it is the largest piece. Don’t know what it will be used for yet…maybe some pillows…or I may cover a bulletin board with it! Anyway, we just couldn’t leave it laying there could we? LOL</strong><br />

I have two student teachers this semester that are in the Reform, Ala. area, and I have had a wonderful time discovering these tiny hidden places! There are actually five places along the route from my home in Meridian that sell the kind of treasures I look for. Most of them look pretty junky when you first walk in, but I’ve gotten good at scouting the area pretty quickly and gathering up the things I’m interested in.</strong></p> <p><strong>Recently I found this mirror at one of the shops. When I asked the price I was expecting a larger amount than $3, but that is what she sold it to me for! I bought lots of costume jewelry from her too for a total of around $7.00. I was tempted to keep this one for my porch. But, I put this in one of my booths, and it sold within a matter of days.</strong><strong> </strong></p> <p> </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-bokDX3ntCLY/Tp17XY1AcfI/AAAAAAAALIQ/H2LMp1sWA3w/s1600-h/IMG_0776%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img title="IMG_0776" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="644" alt="IMG_0776" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-Fea3DdtKCfU/Tp17X14J02I/AAAAAAAALIY/IhzbKpXWEbA/IMG_0776_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="484" border="0" /></a></p> <p align="center"> </p> <p align="left"><strong>I will be headed back up to Reform next week, and am hoping to find more treasures!

<strong>Last week my son and I went to Columbus, Ms. to an estate sale that we found on estatesales.net.</strong></div>
<div align="left">
<strong>We were a little disappointed because all the prices were really high! The man in charge said that the merchandise was purchased from three different New York estates. I could have walked out empty handed, but did find this made in Italy compote on the 75% off table. I know it is not worth much, but I love Italian pottery!</strong></div>
<div align="left">
<strong></strong></div>
<div align="left">
<strong>Our trip was not in vain, I found a vintage music box at a thrift store, and several great pieces of vintage jewelry from a vendor at one of the antique malls. And, I enjoyed seeing the sites of Columbus! Lots of great old homes there!</strong></div>

<strong>Sorry this post is late getting up, but we’ve had a power outage, and I thought my computer would not come back on. But it finally did! </strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong>Recently I found this vintage oil painting at an estate sale in Livingston, Ala. I love it, and wish I had somewhere to hang it here! I may have to take something down and make space.

</div><div align="left">I<strong> am always looking for new places to shop for vintage and antique items, and we have a great new place in Meridian called Pink Nellie! Actually, I met Linda (her real name) at the 45 Flea Market and Antiques over a year ago where she had a booth when she first moved to Meridian. She has been doing this all her life and inherited her love of old things from her mother, Nellie. Linda loves pink so the logical name for her new shop was “Pink Nellie!” </strong></div><div align="left"><strong></strong></div><div align="left"><strong>Recently a house became available on 23rd avenue in Meridian right behind Ed Chaney Tires and one block off 22nd Avenue…and you guessed it the house was pink!
