Monday...another week to try and get it right!

 I'm off to a good start by golly!  It's raining off and on so it's a good day to clean.  I'm ditching the zones as I was really on a roll with the dining room and I wanted to continue.  So far, I've washed the windows inside and out (I can wash both sides from inside the house), and I dusted the walls and moldings.  I washed the table and wiped down the chairs.  I cleaned my Chinese desk inside and out.  I will be using it for stationary and scrap booking, stamps,  and card making supplies.  I don't have that many so it's perfect for that.

 

I found a tablecloth my daughter gave me that I had put away in a drawer and forgotten about!  Why I don't know because I love it!  It's a reproduction vintage tablecloth...........

The lighting is really bad today because it is so dark out.

I got treasures in the mail!!!  Both from Thrift Books...........

and this one which is out of print and I paid a  pretty penny for but not astronomical............I really wanted it because it includes diary entries from a girl who grew up in Northern Illinois (just like me) and there are reproduction quilt patterns all from the 1800's.  I haven't read it yet but I can't wait to read the diary entries.  There are photos too!

You know how I've said cleaning at my house is like going on an archaeological dig?  Well, look what I found...hand-dyed floss from a class I took with Sue Spargo years ago in Fayetteville, AR.  I did a little happy dance with this find!   There is also a spool of variegated thread............yippee!

That's all for today folks!  I hope you had a good day.  I still have more to go in the dining room.....I'll probably be there all week and then there's shampooing the carpet.

Happy Trails!!!
