Beating the odds, one day at a time....

Today is the start of year 12 of my marriage. It's been a good run all in all so far. We're looking forward to many more years (hopefully as good or better than the last 11)! 

We ate out, went to the beach, and some small town festivals. We ate fish and baked goods created by elderly church ladies.  We had a FANTASTIC pizza one night......and we even gambled at a casino- and won!  All in all a success all the way around.  

So first, here is some of what we looked at... 

our view from lunch..... 

pretty cool huh? We're so lucky that we live by some of the nicest beaches in the state..... 

We also went to see Murals made by WPA workers 



and then we saw a big yellow dino wandering around.... 


BUT 

it wasn't all fun and games. We did do a bit of pickin along the way..... 


I got a wonderful Turkish rug

a very scary evil oil painting, 

a concert poster from Widespread Panic 

a cool vintage typewriter



a VERY busted up Selig chair from Denmark (for free) that will be my newest project chair

and a rustic wood folding table with some rug beaters and other assorted metal things.... 


(ignore the saw and stuff, we're building a new porch) 


All in all, a very fun, successful weekend !! 

oh- I forgot- two vintage Steelcase end tables too.... 

sorry that's a crappy picture!

Mid century or danish modern desks....

I love desks.  I've always owned at least one (now I have three that I can think of right away) and I am always on the lookout for desks with great bones... here are a few I'm coveting right now- plus my own!
Mid century desk

look at all those great built in drawers!

Black houses once again....

I have already shown some pictures of  black houses that I love here and I thought that was enough, but today at Apartment Therapy they had this house....
a danish summer house. This is exactly where I want to live. It's heaven...
