I went to the antique street faire in town on Sunday. I bought a cool old coal scuttle to go on the hearth. Now I have to keep my eye out for a coal shovel. The dealer says it should be Newcastle brand to be authentic to the piece.



I also found an old advertising thermometer to hang by the pantry door.



And a little up cycled rat trap!

Neat finds!

What could possibly be worse than the USPS?



The CA DMV. I sat there for almost 2 hours to complete a 5 minute transaction.

I've never have had to wait in line since we moved to this county. When we lived in the Cleveland area there were long lines, I don't miss it.

Great finds! Although, the I could see me catching a finger or two in the rat trap.

You can just walk in to the California DMV too. Then you can walk back out at closing time and go home and make an appointment.

So true!

You have to make appointments to go to the DMV? WOW! We just walk in. . . . Iowa and Missouri.

In theory, it gets you helped sooner with less wait. I think it's a bunch of hooey myself.

Unpacked boxes all day. Tired. Just got back from a Goodwill run and I am off to shower and go watch some TV. It is becoming obvious just how much smaller 1900 square feet is than 3200 square feet and a full basement! Getting rid of even more stuff still feels good though. Simplify. Simplify. Simplify.

I always feel a little cheated when I pack, move and unpack something THEN take it to the resale shop

I know, but space is limited so I have to save what I really need and give the rest away. Just organized my dresser drawers and closet. I bagged up a lot of stuff for Goodwill. I just recently invested in a bunch of low budget tops to get me through the winter. yesterday I wore a new pair of jeans while shopping all day. I got home to find one of those long sticky tags running down the back leg that read "Size 10 Skinny leg boot cut" Must have given a lot of shoppers the giggles. Looking at me with the word skinny on the tag. So tonight I went through everything I bought and removed every tag I could find! I am trying to get classier as a townie, not a laughing stock. Oh well, I laughed when I reach around and felt the tag too!

Mary I would be darn pleased if I could squeeze into a size 10 unskinny jeans. Better to have the tag hanging out than a foot of tp, hanging from the waistband after a pit stop.
