...this evening... did some squats and lunges... AND then!?.. went for a run with some of the neibs... well a slow jog is more like it... feel like I could eat a couple McD's Cheeseburgs right now though... Mmmm... cheeseburgers... not going to be able to walk tomorrow... TAKE THAT wobbly bits!..  no cheeseburgers for you!..

Can't really think of a title... much to tired this evening... maybe Super BBQ Sunday?.. How about HAPPY FATHER'S DAY POPPA!.. How about I Went Shopping This Weekend and Spent Too Much!..  Spent Most of the Weekend in Bed Because I was Feeling Like Crap...

How about all of that!?.

Yesterday I went shopping with Neib Amy... Spent much too much... gotta stop that... found some awesome treasures thought... at Homesense... that place is dangerou!.. and then some clothes at the mall... shirts... belt... knee socks... a dress for Chris's sissa's weddin... it's coming up in August... then also found some killer shoes... on an awesome sale... $125 reg on for $50... SOLD!..

Spent yesterday afternoon/evening/night in bed... feeling out of it... aches... pains... tired... fuzzy head... plugged ears... my system is fighting something off...

Today was low key... tidied house... laundry... picked up a few grocery things... and BBQ fun times with a few Neibs...

Look at what we ate...

Roasted Veggies... parsnips... turnips... squash... carrot... sweet potatoes... tossed in olive oil and herbs de provence...

BBQ'd Chicken breasts and legs...

Tasty Salads... this is just one of two...

BBQ'd potatoes... and BBQ'd Pigs in Ponchos...

Finished off with some Apple/Pear/Strawberry/Blueberry Crisp with Vanilla Ice cream... not even room for a cuppa tea after...

I'm so excited!.. Tomorrow at 4pm the Vintage Chicks Sale kicks off!.. 

I'll be there in the morning helping to set up... and to get photos of all of the vendors setting up!..  Furs and I popped down there this evening to bring down my few items and to lend a hand...

Here are a couple shots of a few of my things... I managed to get a couple of things together over the past few days...  I still have the second Demilune Table that needs its final sanding... That'll be tomorrow night so that I can bring it down on Saturday!..

I have a couple small items to tag up before I head to bed... oh and I have to pull out the camera gear that I'm bringing... and make sure my laptop... camera... and phone are all charged up!..

...

...Okay... just finished my tags... it's just about 2am now... camera gear can get packed up in the AM!..

Here's a sneaky peak of what you're going to get at the Vintage Chicks Sale!..

Work In Progress...

Feathering My Nest has moved!... come check all of this out over at www.featheringmynest.ca/blog

I'm making good progress on the second table now that the first one is completed...

...an all over light sanding tomorrow and it should be just about ready... maybe a coat of wax after?.. we'll see how it looks after it's been sanded...

Tonight I also got a few other odds and ends wrapped up... planted the pansies... polished the silver plant pot... replaced some pages on the book page wreath... the little cat decided that some should be removed... and I also got this assembled...

I'm not sure I can part with it... but I can always make another!..  should have photocopied the sheet music before mod podging it down... its from a book of music called Sea Idylls... all music about the sea... swoon...

Weekend Finds... and Weekend Refinishing...

Yesterday morning was cold and grey... but we put on a couple layers and headed out to check out a couple of garage sales in a community nearby... they were having a parade of garage sales... okay... I checked out most of them... Furs isn't the biggest fan of "treasure hunting"...

I found a few things and have already begun their transformations... I've picked these up for the Vintage Chicks Sale next weekend!..  This sweet planter isn't 100% complete yet... I have to plant the pansies and to add a few ribbons...

I also found two of these demilune tables... I just found out... via google... that they're called demilune tables... I started working on one of them today... The plan is to finish this one today... and to start the second table...

 

I started the process of refinishing this table by giving the surface a scratch over with some fairly fine sandpaper... to give the surface some tooth... I used my Black and Decker Mouse Sander for the flat areas... so the sanding would go quicker!.. then two coats of Rust-Oleum Primer and a nice heavy coat of Rust-Oleum Painters Touch...

I'm now in the process of sanding the table by hand... all over to give the surface a distressed... weathered appearance... then onto the second table... can you guess what colour that one will be!?. I was thinking a bright red... or a baby blue... but it'll end up cream...

I also found these two items on the "treasure hunt"... I'll be keeping the cake stand... I think a pineapple upside down cake would look sweet on there... 

And check out the decorative birdcage!..  I was like STOP THE CAR!..

I've got a sweet little fern to go inside of there!..

The weather today is supposed to be beauty... fingers crossed for no wind so that I can work outside... for now I'm head out onto the patio for a cuppa tea... I'ma have to head back in... later on to prep my tags for the Vintage Chicks next weekend!..
