Obsession....this week anyway

There here!
I'm one of those people who seems to have a new obsession
every six weeks.
Well my new obsession (that I'm happy to report has lasted for about 3 months)
Is anything vintage. I have been an avid Country Living Magazine reader for the past three years.
The pages filled with vintage and country furniture and fabric
has totally inspired me.
So I thought, I want to do my scrapbook/office all in vintage blues and reds and creams.
I've picked up a few small pieces here and there.
But when I saw these old cabinets on Ebay I had to have them!
We have a spot in our office were built in cabinets are supposed to go.
So I bought these cabinets for a whopping $20.00
No Lie!
Now I hoping we can some how get them to work in space they are intended for.
I'll keep you posted on the remodel.
Now that my kids are back in school. ( see previous post)
I will have time to totally refinish these.
But I do have to admit I love them they way they are!
And yes all the hardware is original. That alone is worth $20 bucks!

"Woo Who"

So I was looking back over my last couple of posts. They are mussy and sentimental!
Both of those things I am not. I don't know what got into me.
I am sarcastic and cynical.
Don't believe me?
Well read on.

For those of you who shed a few tears on the first day of school
this post is not for you, because you see, I am not one of those moms.
I look forward to the first day of school like my kids look forward to Christmas!
Don't get me wrong I enjoy summer, maybe a little to much.

( Hence the reason for my poor neglected blog)
I like having my kids home. I like the break in routine.

There isn't much I don't like about summer vacation.

And part of summer vacation is that it's over.

(almost Sadie doesn't go back until Sept.2nd)
So I got my kids up bright an early, dropped Gaige off to the fourth grade and Clay off to Kindy,
and I went to Wal-Mart where I saw many a mother with a smile on her face.
I even saw one I knew well who gave me a " Woo Who! "
My thoughts exactly.

I do however take my camera to document these times in my children's lives.
I'm not totally heartless.
I love the look on Gaige's face. He did not share in my enthusiasm.
