A Few Pieces Of Business and Look What I Found Friday

By Mandi 08/13/2010

First off,  thanks to all of my followers! Sometime in the middle of the night last night we hit 100! I know that there are lots of people out there who have thousands but I am so excited to have 100! And the best part is its one of my friends that moved away! I love you Marissa,  we miss having you at ball games!

Second bit,  it is 4:44 in the morning right now. Dylan has been getting up around 4 the last few days and this morning it was no exception. But here is the difference. I woke up to a small tinkling sound. I thought *#&^$@%#$ she took her diaper off and peed on the floor,  right?

MUCH WORSE.

Um my husband wasn’t feeling well and got in the bathtub and fell asleep. The tinkling sound was the water he was cleaning up. It flooded the whole bathroom, into our bedroom (that is hardwood) and under the bed. I guess the only blessing in all of it is that I needed to do laundry really bad and so that probably stopped a lot of it. I just hope it doesn’t ruin the floors….

Thirdness,  Look What I Found Friday! In case you missed it last week Gaby who is so funny posted about this beauty:

You MUST go and read her {post} about it! I promise you will thank me later!

So here is the crap that I collected this week.

Jars $1.50 each,  yep still stocking away toward my goal of {this}
Its kind of hard to see this awesome money hole of a lamp in this light. I got it for $5.00 in SLC this last week. It didnt work so I had to buy a lamp kit. Total investment $10.00. It has a really awesome patina though,  see…
And of course the cabinet doors that I did {this} with. 3 at $2.00 each
Before
After

Do you guys have people that spend the day,  as in the WHOLE day at your thrift stores? There is this one guy at mine that is always there. He’s all elbows when the cart of new merchandise comes out….

I can wait to see the stuff you guys have found this week!! So link up and play!

  3. Mandi, you are so amazing! This is my first time looking at your “other” blog and I can’t get enough. Why oh why did I move away from you? Had I but known! Can you come decorate my new house? I’ve got lots of boring walls here!

  4. OMG!! I buy random cabinet doors too!!! I stock up on them at Ikea in their as-is section! But you totally just inspired me to buy knobs for them! I really like how that looks!
