I Like Thursdays # 96

Welcome to this week's list of likes. You know I am partial to a cow... and am in the mess of unpacking boxes. Did you realize when you unpack a box you now have to find a place for all that stuff in the new house?  My friend Diane in Texas put it so well, she said, it's tiring to make all the decisions necessary after you've moved. So true.

come on in and sit a spell, y'all. While I show you a few pictures. I've found things that might not fit in the new space, what to do??! We got this entertainment center (set your clocks back to the 80's) at a yard sale and hope it will work for our old stereo (plays 5 discs on random, so we keep it) and TV. The previous owner had a 70" at least TV on the wall which would hurt my neck to look up to view. I like the current set up. The family room is sparse, and that's just fine with me at the moment! Four chairs, three glass tables, and two dining room furniture items.

Maybe I need a little angel on my shoulder to help... or one on granny's china cabinet.

I haven't had the heart to see if the glass shelves survived two moves. Truth be told I am enjoying the sparseness from clutter right now. My life feels chaotic with all the things that must be done immediately so a clean cabinet is nice. Know what I mean? I refinished this when I was about 20, and cherished every piece of furniture granny gave me. This was painted a green color. I just love it and the lines of it. It was stuffed full in MD and if I have to get rid of everything I will not do that here.

We have a lot of fruit in the house right now... cherries, grapes, blueberries, watermelon. It's blistering hot, so fruit is just the perfect snack and desert. We also made the long trek to Trader Joes last weekend and got muffins! yum. I found the Christmas Flamingos sent to me after we moved, had been packed up without me seeing it! (flamingos... love...)

I just love the lines and swirls of this baker's rack which used to live in the dining room in MD and held our microwave.

It doesn't fit in the kitchen here, so it's living in the living room. The formal living/dining room inside the front door. It's repurposed at the moment to hold our entry stuff, leash, hats, purse, poop bags, you know and all the swirls are perfect to drape it on!

Win! At the moment that room is full of big boxes, so we'll see how it changes at time goes by.

I liked this little pen drawing of Milo, done in one minute as a creative boost... he just loves to yank my arm off to chase all the bunnies here. Especially the bite size ones that just sit like rocks as he approaches. He never misses spotting them.

We went to a craft show in Colorado Springs last weekend and it was small but glorious. It deserves it's own post with artist interviews and pretty pics but to note it, I'll show you one now... I loved it!

It was so much fun, worth the hour and half to get there thru traffic jams! All the color, the views, the nice artists, people setting up chairs and picnics while listening to cool live music. I found many items I wanted to purchase, and will share that in the special post.

Milo's Moments
I loved being at the art show with the peeps!!! I met SO many people and dogs, felt the spray in my hair from the fountain, ate stuff I found on the ground (don't tell Mama)

 I could have taken this little girl home with me! She was so full of fun! 
I have no idea what this is... 

but it smelled like some critter

Mama here, it was a drum from an African artisan who also sold baskets I liked

Hey! This is Milo's moment not Mama's moment!
Anyway...
I had a grand time dragging my peeps from dog to dog, from kid to kid, and petting all the people there. There were dogs in artist's booths too, heh heh little surprises for me to find, and I did. Mama should do that, have a booth and take me! I'd sell out all her stuff!

That's it for now y'all, don't fur-get to visit the other people keeping it pawsitive this week!
