why wouldnt you have a rockwall in your yard!?!

wouldn't you have a rockwall in your front yard if you could!?!
actually it is a base.

a highly dangerous base built from rocks a neighbour was getting rid of, stumps of wood from our old beautiful tree that had to be cut down, old boat oars, and everything else that could be scavanged for the effort!

of course, its for the girls too,
with a singing and dancing streamer twirling girl!
the base seems to grow each day

with what seems to be more dangerous booby traps!!
sling shots, catapults, you name it it's there!
be afraid, be very afraid!

well, at least the constant improvements and renovations keep them happy and occupied over the holidays. gotta love that!!!

get your woolies ready!

a bit of bidding!

always a lover of a bargain!!

not often that I actually get one these days.

too busy to get to the opp shops

however have discovered across from where I work

there is an auction house!

so I have taken to popping over on a monday for a look,

put in my absentee bids

and sometimes oh happy days, I get the winning bid.

the gorgeous cabinet above cost the huge sum of $17

I paid a little more for this beautiful chaise, however,

have been after one for many years.

I then went straight to buy new foam for the new cover.

now to get to work on some comfy cushions to adorn it.

I had an old calico coloured lampshade

which needed a touch of interesting
and here is the result.

I am so happy with it!
I may even have to move it somewhere it can be seen all the time!!!!

LOVE IT!!
