    Scored @ thrift shop and recovered kitchen chairs. PICS

    Great deal on that fabric! Thrift stores have gotten smarter and tend to know what they "have" these days. So, doubly great! Love all the pics and instruction too. My chairs are currently just wood, but I have men and just don't want to spend all my time fussing at them over my fabrics :lol:

    Selling pickled eggs.

    So, we are getting about 5 dozen eggs a day now. So much so I have started pickling eggs every other day. We have a gal that is buying all we have once a week for 2.00 a dozen, but there is no room in my fridge for waiting that long. Last week I was talking to a guy that was here to buy eggs and...

    Farmfresh City Homesteader - the sound of falling oaks.

    Oh how I feel for you ! I watched my parents go through the very same thing for my grandmother. After countless appointments with lawyers, doctors and 'convalescent care professionals " my parents both approached me separately and requested they be euthanized before putting me through that. So...

    We get a particularly vicious infestation of them around here. Las autumn and winter there was no leaving a drink without some sort of cover on it.
