Jun Hunt




i was pretty happy to find this 1.5QT early american pyrex bowl recently


And this chair actually was NOT found on a Junk Hunt.
It's a hand me down in my family and it's staying with me till I die.
It's red velvet but really soft velvet. The legs are little scratched up; I've thought about repainting them but I really like the character it adds. The bottom definitely needs to be fixed though you can some of the batting hanging down. One day that will get done.




I'm hoping to post a Home Tour soon. It will be a mini tour though since we only live in 700 square feet.

a list of sorts

Some things that inspire me
 
and some things that I long for
 
vintage gold jade ring
 
I love Sublime Stitching and every one of her patterns especially this one
 
vintage green shift dress
 
gathering of the puggalos - I snorted over this one, I won't lie. This site always cracks me up.
 
the legal version of a peeping Tom - I love looking at creative interiors
 
this story made me laugh - go read it. i love her writing and hearing about her adventures
 
80's gold snake ring
 
I am dying to try my own twisted little version of these. You just wait.
 
 
Tandem: the past two night we have had the best dinners. Monday night we had steamed broccoli w/Parmesan cheese and hard boiled eggs - sounds bad but it wasn't. Last night we had grilled coconut crusted mahi mahi with sauteed asparagus and mushrooms with garlic and onions. I about cried it was so delicious. We got the mahi mahi from the farmer's market for under $4 a fillet. Yum!
 
I have two projects I need to post and a bunch of junk hunt finds but I am feeling rather lazy so I'm not sure when I'll get around to it. I have a list of blog ideas but have no idea when I'll get around to posting them. This weekend we might go to Sundance which I'm not particularly thrilled about. It's out of control up there and I am definitely one of those locals who hate it. That is unless someone wants to chauffeur me around and get me in to all of the happening parties with out having to wait then I'm all about it. It use to be cool back in the day and don't even get me started on how ridiculously priced the shows are. Anyways, today has sort of flown by which is fantabulous.
 
Peace out,
Brandy
 
 

In good company

I want to thank you all for all of your awesome comments and emails regarding this week's Weekly Confessional. Every one of them have really helped me out so much. I'm so lucky to have the readers that I do. I feel like I have real followers that weren't just accumulated by some random site I joined. You're not bots and that makes me really happy.
 
Thank You with all of my heart!

Phonography continued

more pics from Sunday night

I tried taking pics of this old building they didn't turn out that great but it was pretty creepy.
The building has an eery feeling.



I took almost 500 pics of a laundromat on Sunday night too - I was feeling it. I will post them later.
