It's getting close to the end of the month which in my neighbourhood spells treasure hunting!
I'm sure it happens in a lot of cities, but here it's like a tradition.
At the end of the month, when everybody moves, they leave behind the stuff they no longer want or have room for. There's a lot of TV's lately, as people are switching to flatscreens, they no longer want their old tube TVs . The only thing is, some of these tube TVs are less than 5 years old and are in perfect shape.I haven't collected any TVs as my family has dumped off two on me, and I have a flatscreen, so, no need for another TV, but I have found an old steamer trunk that someone had to carry all the way to my place(tyk),a solid wood table with mahogany veneer which I plan to strip and shakerise, along with the solid wood hutch that will get the same treatment-just in another colour. I'm keeping it to primary colours. Reds, Blues, Whites and Blacks.I found a cedar bedsides table and a wooden drying rack.I also found a pine side table. All free. I once saw a gorgeous in perfect shape velvet lounge (ideal for swooning whence fainting from the vapours.)Plus, this is a long weekend I think, so more time to browse.
Wish me Happy Treasure hunting-I need new drawers!!
Not those kind, you pervs.

First of all, I want to apologise to all the people whose blogs, flickr pages etc that have been remiss on commenting on. Then, an apology for not blogging or being out using my spectacular new camera, and lastly, a big I'm sorry for all the whingey 3am phone calls telling you how much pain I'm in.
Really, I should be blogging like a wailing Irish banshee being as I have all this free time on my hands, but to be honest, aside from the pain, I've just been lazy.
We had like 10 inches of snow which pretty much shut our city down, but instead of writing about it, I just crawled deeper under my duvet and waited for that stupid underground rat to not see his shadow, or to see it, or whatever it is he does that means Spring is coming.
Because it' been pissy and foggy, I haven't dared take out my new camera, although I have started my"dead things" set for Char, And I hope to have it finished before the new stuff sprouts.
Thanks to a most special friend, the coolest camera bag (shown above) is on it's way to me. I love you, you, gorgeous little round egg!! (Yes, it is actually a diaper bag, but I HAD to have it, and since it's only available in the US, I needed a generous friend to order it and send it to me.)
Perhaps it will bring my photo mojo with it.
I had my surgery on Monday, thanks to all for the prayers and well wishers. The pain is still pretty bad, but I'm hoping it will pass soon.
The clutch burned out on my step father's car, luckily he is paying for it.
So, I guess it's back to ye olde job hunt with wreckless abandon, fingers crossed and all.

There, that wasn't so hard, was it?

Um, yeah, it really was.
