"Old" New Cabinet

The pictures below show a new deep bottom hutch we just completed the finish work on. It was created by our friend Ron of St. Albans from re-purposed lumber and its really nice. It has loads of storage in the bottom and tons of display opportunity's with its multiple shelves, plate grooves and mirror inset in the back.

Check out these close ups of the wonderful prim finish that Terry gave this piece. The patina looks sooo good in places one might think its an old cabinet instead of a reproduction piece.

We painted, sanded, primmed and stained it. My Sis did most of the work!

This hutch won't be in the shop long as it has already had several hard looks from customers the very day we brought it in.

Better stop in soon and see it before it's gone!

Happy St. Pattys Day to YA

Duct Tape or a Nail???

A man dies and goes to heaven. St. Peter meets him at the Pearly Gates and says, 'Here's how it works. You need 100 points to make it into heaven. You tell me all the good things you've done, and I give you a certain number of points for each item, depending on how good it was. When you reach 100 points, you get in.'

'Okay,' the man says, 'I was married to the same woman for 50 years and never cheated on her, even in my heart.' 'That's wonderful,' says St. Peter, 'that's worth two points!'

'Two points?!' he says.

'Well, I attended church all my life and supported its ministry with my tithe and service.' 'Terrific!' says St. Peter.. 'That's certainly worth a point.'

'One point!?!!'

'I started a soup kitchen in my city and worked in a shelter for homeless veterans.' 'Fantastic, that's good for two more points,' he says.

' Two points!?!!

'Exasperated, the man cries. 'At this rate the only way I'll get into heaven is by the grace of God..' ' Bingo ! 100 points ! Come on in!'

We often try to fix problems with WD-40 and duct tape.

God did it with a nail. AMEN...

Craziness....Craziness

Was today a full moon??

Yeah I said today, not after dark tonight but today????

I mean we had a kooky crazy off the wall day in the shop...

Lots of laughter and kooky people we love stopped in to say hi.....

If there was no full moon must have been something in the water...

Hmmm should we continue to drink the water or should we stop???

That is the question!

My Newest Toy

Ok ok so my old cell phone was ok, I mean it made calls and had some limited texting capabilities ( like me) and it could take a pic, although not the greatest pic but hey it served its purpose for a long time.

When he bought it My Hubs wanted to get me one with more bells and whistles and I said no thanks don't need them, and didn't ... at the time. Now with the shop and all my traveling and wanting to check online banking and shipment verifications and email I needed a phone with a wee bit more capabilities.

But alas I may be many things but a genius with electronics I ain't! I have trouble with simple tasks like setting the time on the VCR, Who knew it wasn't supposed to flash 12:00???? Setting my alarm clock after a power outage can melt my cerebellum...you get the picture???? KISS that's my motto!

So today I had to admit I needed more.... and off I go with the Hubs to the phone store to search for a better option. First I would just like to ask this question...Is anyone else intimidated when they walk in the phone store besides me??? I don't know what I am looking for and I cant understand half of what the sales people are talking about...sigh....good thing the Hubs is an electronic wizard!!!

All I did know was I needed a real keyboard so I can send a text message that is spelled correctly, I need to be able to access my email while I am mobile and want something user friendly.....and would rather have something small to fit in my pocket too.

We looked at a few that had QWERTY keyboards that also didn't involve selling one of our children to buy them. It came down to two choices, one of which was more like a Blackberry, you know PDA type phone....tooooo many bells and whistles on that one, and one called the Samsung Propel.

This phone has a full keyboard, hands-free talking capability, which is good for one who cant walk and chew gum at the same time much less drive and talk on cell!!!! It takes great pictures, and I can get on the Internet with it easily and check my email too... It also has a slide feature that lets the keyboard slide behind the face so it wont be accidentally pushed in my gigantic tote bag, another huge plus!!!!

I had three choices of colors and I picked the green one, why I don't know but it seemed the less obtrusive of the three...

I have spent the evening playing with it, putting phone numbers in and sending text messages, taking a picture or two and just generally trying to learn how to use it, and I will say its pretty user friendly even for an old fart like me!

Well thats what I have been up to today! See you soon!
