It may be #Caterday, but sometimes you still just can't face it.

Two Ladies Walk Into An Estate Sale

We have had a week of blessed cooler weather with even a bit of rain. Seems to be helping the insane fires in the state. Most are reaching containment. Thank goodness. My garden is still a bit tatt…

North Ft. Collins got way less as usual. Rain gauge at .29 inches just north of Country Club road. I envy the south side the rain, we have had no more than .02 inches in a storm for over 2 months.

I love seeing these so much, but I hate that there is no info on them. Where is this from?

1st Gen Frankie Stein steals a vintage Barbie family Tutti dress. On Tutti this is a long dress, but it fits her perfectly and she is not giving it back. #dollsky #MonsterHigh

If you have a copy of a banned book, read it and pass it along! The more that read the better. I am actively stocking my Little Free Library with banned books and I bet there is one in your neighborhood that needs some too. A great way to make quiet trouble.

I sell vintage items on Etsy and have for years. I don't approve of these things, but if I don't sell on Etsy, I have no business. Please don't punish all of us because some folks are asses.

A Melting Pot

It’s been so hot that I’m not sure whether I’m thinking about temperatures, the 4th of July celebrations, or just our immigrant culture in the U.S. Whatever is on the back of my t…

Midway

How is it almost July already? I always consider the 4th the midway point of summer, and I am pretty sure I do not have my spring chores done yet. I still have a fountain covered in plastic that ne…

Roughing It

One of the joys of being a social gardener, by that I mean a person who talks gardening to others, has neighbors and friends that garden, and occasionally shows up at plant swaps, is that now and t…

By the way, I like your rebodied vintage Midge. These dolls are still not so precious that they can't be played with, so I say, go for it, if it brings you joy. I have a silkstone I did the same thing to that is one of my favorite dolls ever.
