Meanwhile the daffodils kept blooming.
It's a gray, wet day here, but you can see this puffed up Mourning Dove lording it over the food supply. There's one in every crowd, methinks.
A Titmouse and Cardinal finally get a chance to dine.
And since we last visited I dabbled here and there cleaning some things that had not been cleaned in a coon's age. My new, already-went-through-the-wash dishcloth from Dollar General released enough dye that I could have tie-dyed a t-shirt. Had I just known beforehand...lol. I'm trying to embrace the viral love of dollar store merchandise, but so far it's a 50/50 toss-up for me.
I've been purging and down-sizing my earthly possessions (Goodman won't let me touch his, but I really WANT to help him go smaller, read that THROW STUFF OUT/sell off.) and was horrified when I opened a box of silver pins/brooches that were nearly black from oxidation. I recently got a new denim jacket on sale for a meager sum and decided I'd use some of those pins to dress it up a bit. Apparently, boho/boohoo(?) has taken over every fashion genre so I flung caution to the wind and adorned it heavily. LOL
Anyways, look how tarnished some of those pins were.
I do most things old school, but I didn't have time to sit and polish those pins with MAAS so I used this quick method and lo, they fairly sparkle. And no, I'm not likely to wear all those pins together on my jacket, fashion be gone.
Stay pretty, y'all.
Hello, I think this snow missed us, it went more south. Which was weird..Our daffies are just starting to pop out of the ground. They are pretty blooms. I like your brooch collection, they look nice on the jean jacket. Enjoy your day, wishing you a happy new week!
ReplyDeleteIt sure has been a weird weather winter for us, Eileen. A while back we went ten years with no snow here then we started getting snow when others further north didn't. Thank you for stopping by. :)
DeleteI love old pins! They are so versatile and fun. I enjoy the snow, but the last couple days, I've been itchin' to get out and play in the garden.
ReplyDeleteSome of those pins are really old, my mother had one of them. I'd love the jump into gardening right now, too. It's 62°F today. Wow.
DeletePS, thanks for linking up and sharing your post. I hope your day is great!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, I enjoy your link-up.
DeleteLove visiting with you! Hey if you are tossing the pins, toss them my way. I can use them with crafts.... like on picture frames and such. God bless!
ReplyDeleteHi Gina, glad you enjoy the post. I'll keep you in mind if I decide to downsize the pins. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteBoho is short for bohemian, a term that used to mean artsy and free living, sort of hippie style.
ReplyDeleteWhile you get snow thanks to the global warming we get summer weather in February as if we were located in the Southern Hemisphere. This is crazy! All my plants started to grow new leaves thinking we were suddenly in May —I pray they won't freeze when the temperatures go down (if).
ReplyDeleteI'm not fond of boho style (had to endure too much in art school) but I do love your sparkly brooches. Goodman must be like me, I don't let anyone near my stuff just in case they think of throwing something out. lol
Hugs.
I love your beautiful spring photos. The daffodils are lovely.
ReplyDeleteHappy Spring!
