The tall one footed fluffy haired flamingo was a gift long ago from my sister Patty. She asked if it was too tacky... (can a flamingo item BE tacky??? I don't think so...) (It's a writing pen!!)
I Like getting the kitchen boxes down to one level instead of teetering on the verge of avalanche.
I also have this crazy idea of finally organizing my stuff, hence piling it in categories on the table til it's all unpacked and I can see what I want to keep and what I no longer need.
It was a mess like this when I did the studio reorg back in MD, it's always darkest before the dawn.

Stupid stupid.
I wanted many items but only got lunch, a really terrific Thai dish made in the worlds biggest wok
I liked this post by Ann at ( https://fretnotyourself)
It was an artistic discussion that really got my creative thoughts flowing. I can't find supplies at the moment but it was so interesting I wanted to go find them! I also loved this quilt, the way the two outside borders blended but also contrasted creating depth.
Milo's Moments
Hi Y'all. I'm trying to get adjusted to the new cave, I even peed in the back yard. Finally one large enough to handle a poodle's pee. (I wouldn't go at the rental too small yard) This week I've been meeting dogs like
Floyd the pug (hi Aunt Nancy)
and Mooch
And the neighbor's son came over, and we played chase me and we played fetch the ball and I heard Mama laughing from the porch as I dragged him across the yard by a big stick! He was so funny running along while I tugged the stick!

it's great that you made such fab friends Milo ;O))) I hate unpacking boxes... I still have some on the attic since 1997... maybe I'll find the time to check them this year :O)
ReplyDeleteFinding things you've always loved is what makes the hard job of unpacking bearable. And you have such fun loved things, all bright and colorful! I keep wanting to go to the Cherry Creek art festival and you and Drew have already gone; you both are real event lovers. It'll be interesting to read your upcoming post on it. No smoke here; I guess Boulder is a "bubble" in more ways than one.
ReplyDeleteOh, and thanks for writing about Ann's art connections post. I loved it and was so reminded of the connections and comparisons we used to make way back in my art history classes in college.
ReplyDeleteI like your kitchen and have never understood tall cupboards. Does anyone ever store stuff where w can't get it? Maybe it's just me that doesn't get that. Your flamingo collection is such fun! Thanks for including me. mary
ReplyDeleteIt's good to see you're making progress with the unpacking. I love all the flamingo hand towels. I keep seeing cute hand towels when I'm out and about and I've been *mostly* successful at resisting them.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about unpacking the whole kitchen and getting organized as you put it away. Figuring out a new kitchen layout takes some planning.
ReplyDeleteSince I love glass, that peek at the bowl has me curious.
What great photos of your progress and the arts festival and, of course, hearing from Milo. I was going to call you yesterday, but my roundtoit has been broken. Will be travelling soon to see grands. Hugs, Sharon
ReplyDeleteI love your flamingos everywhere - now I look for them, too. Glad Milo is making friends in the new neighborhood!
ReplyDeleteWe love those Mingos and we have lots of Mingo things around here. You sure were having fun Milo! Thanks for joining the Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
ReplyDeleteUnpacking can take forever because everything has to be clean before you put it away. I so remember.
ReplyDeleteI love flamingos too. I have more than one here.
Milo is having such a great time. Good.
Have a fabulous Thankful Thursday. ♥
Setting up a new hours takes months, for me. I am always surprised by the items I find in the boxes. I saw a free flamingo quilt pattern on Craftsy.com (look at the quilt...pattern...free...newest tabs.) I am back to posting my "I like" on my blog.
ReplyDeleteI like to unpack and find places for all my favorite things. And I love flamingos too...they are everywhere around here! lol Hugs!
ReplyDeleteHah! How many of your followers immediately think of you when they see flamingos? One of my quilting buddies who winters in FL is also into flamingos, so, of course, I see them everywhere now. Looks like you're making progress on the unpacking and sorting. It's great that your neighbor will be able to use your boxes, but sad that you are already losing a neighbor you've hardly met. But that also means you won't be the newbie in the neighbor anymore.
ReplyDeleteHope you find the creative supplies soon so you can take some breaks from the unpacking.
Pat
Loved reading about your likes. We are headed to CO next week. I am hoping the wildfires do not affect the trip too much. It has been so hot and dry out there.
ReplyDeleteHi LeeAnna,
ReplyDeleteI am so thrilled to see you unpacking, and finding all of your fun treasures. And Milo is getting settled too and making friends. I had to giggle at Floyd - he's a cute pug but that name! Sorry about the wild fires; we are in desperate need of rain or we're going to have to worry as well. Happy Thursday! ~smile~ Roseanne
Unpacking is so hard. You get it all put away and then you have the boxes/trash to deal with! Whew! Looks like Milo is doing well. Nothing like a canine companion. Thank you for linking up today!
ReplyDeleteGreat post! Love that your neighbor can use the boxes. That was not a coincidence, but a minor miracle. Blessings,
ReplyDeleteHi LeeAnna and Drew!
ReplyDeleteLove you new kitchen! Looks great!
Floyd the pug looks like our neighbours dog!
Someone said moving is a good way to pare down your things. You start to wonder what it is you really really want. And also organizing properly on the other end. I know I got to put a bunch of stuff right to the basement that were cluttering up cupboards...now they can clutter down there out of sight, LOL. Hopefully this will be for awhile and you'll get to relax in new, organized surroundings, LeeAnna. Love to read the canine point of view too.
ReplyDelete...Colorado isn't the only place that is like a convection oven this summer. But global warming is just fake news! Thanks for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun collection of Flamingo items. I like the towel, it's so pretty. The pen was fun. - Cute pug.
ReplyDeleteWhy is it that tidying/sorting always starts with making a big mess? But think how lovely it will be when everything has a place and you have only kept the things you really want and need, like flamingos.
ReplyDeleteNeat list of "things." You found some great flamingo stuff! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteIt's good making progress even if it's slow (remember Rome wasn't built in a day). I had forgotten that a fair number of artists at Cherry Creek Art Festival forbid photos. Talk about insecure but I guess I understand.
ReplyDeleteI love your Kitchen! Very roomy.
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of festivals/ craft shows, etc around where you live. How fun to go wandering to see so many interesting things.
Sorry for missing the posting again. Sometimes it is just too much to put the computer on. I don't really go anywhere, so not much to say besides the flowers in the garden, and I have nearly shown them all!
Glad you are getting some unpacking done...and that the neighbour wanted the boxes! That was timely.
Hugs,
Sandy
Lots of fun stuff. Yay for one layer of boxes.
ReplyDeleteI like all of your flamingo items :-) Unpacking can be such a drag, but it's always nice to find things back again. That looks like a great art festival. Wish we had more of these around here .... Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteYour planters and garden décor are wonderfully whimsical. I like flamingos too. I am glad your dogs seem to like your new home!
ReplyDeleteAn excellent Awww. You know I love flamingos.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up.
Have a fabulous Awww Monday. ♥
I really like the shadows that the stilt-walkers make.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to finding a new home! Opening boxes always feels like Christmas, especially when they've been closed for years. Much of our stuff is still in storage nearly 15 years later. I've opened some over the years to close them again.
ReplyDelete"It's a little rusty, but so am I" Ha ha ha! Fabulous likes this week - glad you are getting your boxes to the non-avalanche stage - progress indeed! Hope Colorado cools down soon ...
ReplyDeleteGlad you're settling in! Love that flamingo.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you, I like flamingoes too!
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking part in the Travel Tuesday meme.
