Pottery Barn CHEAP!

 

 

 

I love Pottery Barn and I like it cheap!

Today I happened here!! It didn't disappoint!

Well only that it is closing!! But the nice man said they

hoped to open one in Layton. We'll see!

 

This place is a bit off the beaten path..

3505 West 3500 South
West Valley City, Utah 84120

                                                             Phone: 801-968-1872

 

 

Call before you go! The man

said he wasn't 100% when they'd close

for sure. I am guessing as long as the stuff lasts.

 

 

This place isn't for the faint of heart. Lots of digging.

Lots of broken stuff and pieces. Some weird monograms.

Lots of guessing at prices! But oh what fun!!

 

Happy Spring!!

 

SPRING!!

 

At an upcoming event I am teaching

a class on making this banner!!

It will be fun and free so I'll keep ya posted!!

 

 

Spring...

 

It has been so dark and gray for to long. The sun is shining bright today...

and I relish the light and the quiet cool heat. Swoon!!

 

*I spray painted my shoe by mistake the other day. LAME!

*Taking off hot pink nail pint left my finger tips day glow!

*I love that Theodore says "OH MY" when something  is over whelming

awesome or crazy bad.

*I walked in Theodore's pitch black room the other

day to get him from a nap. He couldn't see me but kept asking "Who is this?"

It was not the voice that most often gets him from his crib!

* I went to another ward this week. So many things struck me as funny:

-Most of the boys wore bow ties.

-I saw a boy w/ a crochet tie.

-I sat near a burly man and mid meeting he pulled out the

most feminine fan that was Lacy and lovely and

used it the whole meeting.

-Every ward has the exact same people. They just look different and

have different names.

* I happened on this Anne Of Green Gables quote page today.

Full of a treasure trove. HERE.

*Boring meetings do me in!!

*I was cutting a tag off a shirt and cut the shirt. SO LAME!

*Do you know Ellie? I just met her on Facebook and Youtube!
You can meet her HERE!!

*I grabbed a box of bulbs today to plant

and they were already sprouting!!

Bonus!

*I am always please to see all my favorite tines in one place!!

*Theodore most often has something in his hand.

He just likes to hold stuff. A measuring spoon, a

paint brush or a fork.

*Theodore comes from Evans stalk and will

most often let you know if things are "MESSY!"

Grandpa Evans would be proud!

 

Happy Spring!!

“After all, I believe the nicest and
sweetest days are not those
on which anything very splendid
or wonderful or exciting happens,
but just those
that bring simple little pleasures,
following one
another softly,
like pearls slipping off a string.”

-L.M. Montgomery

I just read this book. It was profound.

I think each and everyone of us "walks"

everyday of our lives. We see good, bad and ugly.

Some days are hard and some easy.

Sadly I can't "Highly" recommend this book because the

 author uses the "f-word" and there are some pretty graphic scenes.

I did find it interesting and thought provoking.

a daring adventure

 or nothing at all!”

*I have had a headache for days!

*I like order.

*While strolling down the isles of DI this weekend

I found a bin of Restoration Hardware hardware . I couldn't have

been more pleased!!

*My nephew likes Bubbles more then me.

*I dumpster Dive like a DIVA!

*Some people talk so loud it reminds me of a FOG HORN!

*I love any sprouting things in the "spring" (Now!)

*I have a pain in the neck!

Oh no SNOW!!

 

I am always working on projects but not so good at taking

photos lately. Darn!

 

*The above is the favorite craft of all last month!

Easy, cute and so graphic! Oh and CHEAP!

 

*While driving w/ one of my special  needs friends I

noticed a large amount of snow on my car hood as did my friend.

She said loudly. "HONDA get that snow off your nose!!"

Makes me giggle just thinking about it!

 

*You think your life is tough? I heard this sweet girl speak today

and my word she is tough. Her husband went blind and her son

died and then came back and now has major disabilities! Not only that

she is cooking a baby in her belly in her spare time!!

 

*Today I video chatted w/ my nef. He had to leave and his mom prompted

"Say goodbye Fodie" He quickly got that shy look in his eye and put his chin

to his chest and said "Bye Fodie"!

So sweet I could eat him w/ a spoon!

 

*Today I was outta gas. I quickly ran to the gas station right

as a storm wall dumping down snow pellets

and blowing them down my neck.

I scream and danced around the whole time I was pumping gas

and then realized the place was packed. I am sure I looked darling!

 

Happy Spring!! (Kidding)

Today

 

 

 

 

Today:

 

*I tired to help my nephew make a darling

hand print in plaster to save forever.

He screamed like I was cutting

off his hand w/ a butter knife!

*I ran into a bestie randomly!

*I found some 3 dollar Toms! Love to Thrift!

*Reading WILD and listening to 

 The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society.

*Church doesn't start till 11:00 tomorrow!
