I Love Blogging

Did I mention that I love this blogging community and all the amazing, wonderful, talented, creative, friendly people I have met here. Well if I didn't I am mentioning it now!

I went to this little out of the way junk store today that I found a few years back. I got a cast-iron French roll pan that I love for $4. I got a 5gallon crock, it has some writing on the front but it is packed away in the car so cant remember what, and I was so excited to find it tucked away in the corner,$20. Everything was 60% off. So I think I got some good deals. I will post pics when I get back home. I got a couple other things as well. I love the crock but yikes those things are heavy. The lady had to help me get it out lol. I am not a wimp but sometimes those stores have everything squished in and you have to climb like a monkey. I made some terrible racket looking through the old cookie cutters and kitchen gadgets lol.

They had some ironstone there but I though it was too expensive. So I only got the stuff I really loved.

Honestly though, I was looking around all over the place thinking.....hmmmm I wonder what Misi will put on her next list lol.
Having a great weekend!

Too HOT

Hey look in the pictures below. My candles in the sconces. The woodstove made it so hot in my kitchen they melted right over. Too Funny. lol I am leaving them there

Paint Selections :(

Antique green . Antigue Pewter

Pearwood,  Chestnut.

the box color was the color I thought I would like, but I am thinking it is too dark. My kitchen only has one small window. the cabinets are now the color you see

Clown Wall

Original Color

Here is the clown wall that I don't like any of the selections.

Big Trouble

Okay a couple weeks ago I showed you all the paint I ordered. Well I took about five different cans. I wanted to repaint the bottom half of my kitchen and the cabinets. Well what was I thinking.
I took about five different cans and painted big patches on one wall. Not small but big. Thinking for sure one of the colors I would love. Well I took a couple of opinions and painted part of my cabinet with that color. I liked it best as well. Well now.....NOT SO MUCH. It is too dark. Now what do I do.
The top half of my walls are a cream color. The bottom half were a nice lighter antique sage. I tried pearwood, chestnut, antique sage, antique pewter, and one other. YUCK. What do I do now, I have a wall that looks like a clown exploded. I don't think I have the original green.
I wonder if I paint the bottom half a rittenhouse ivory, (tanish) and leave the top cream, and then paint the cabinets the antique pewter. Do you think that would be weird? three colors. Oh what a mess. And I have company coming tomorrow night.
Maybe, in the light of day things will be better and I will find the original color somewhere.
*sigh*.

Where to shop

Where do people buy beeswax? I have looked everywhere up here in the boonies and there is none. Is it cheaper online or should I look at AC moore when I go downstate?
Did you know when you are shopping at Joann's you can use your AC moore coupons as long as it is something they sell at AC and it is not on sale at Joann's. This works great as AC usually has better coupons.
Anyway how about a pattern for Prairie curtains? I have looked online and at Joann's and nothing. Any suggestions? Tobacco cloth? Oh how I wish we had normal stores up here.
Since it is after midnight and my Friday and have to work in a few hours I had better get to bed.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Having a great life
