Thrifting
I love to find great vintage pieces and just re-vamp them to make them lovely enough to put back in your home. So when I came across this stylish lamp base I knew I had to have it! When the price tag said $6.99 I knew it was mine!
Stay tuned for a future project involving Mr.Lamp, although when I am done with him he might be a Mrs. Lamp.

Dollarama
I just love the dollar store. you can find so many great things, here's what I found at mine:
-some blank greeting cards in silver (you never know when you are going to need them) $1
- 2 jam jars ( for a future project)$2
- 2 ink pads for stamping with my french rubber stamps (stamps were already mine) $2
- some black trimmed labels $1
- 3 packs of blue paper lanterns (for outdoor parties to add whimsy)$3
- a galvanized steel bucket (to hold cold drinks for outdoor parties)$2
Total for the day: $11, not bad at all.

Pier 1
I know I promised completed fence pictures... however my camera needs to be charged so instead, to hold you over, I will give you what I have on my wishlist for my backyard dining accessories. I may even be able to use them soon enough but first I have to complete the backyard reno and of course head over to Pier 1 and buy all this neat stuff!

Pretty spaces
I am exhausted, literally from all the work on the yard and I am not even done! So I needed some eye candy to make me feel better, some pretty table settings.
I thought I would include a picture of the fence with the lattice up as well, check it out...stay tuned for the doors, they will be up later today and I will post them tomorrow.

On the fence
Here are the updates from a good week of hard work, the frame is up and the slats have gone up, well almost...we ran out of some, so we have to hit up a Home Depot for some more. We still have to put up the lattice and two doors, one to the park (yes my backyard leads into a park!) and one to enter my backyard from the driveway. The fence is not quite done but it's almost there I can't wait! I am looking forward to BBQ season!
