Just a few things ...

Now that Christmas and New Year's is over and we are 1/2 way through January, it is time to start planning ahead. My daughter has gotten me interested in succulent plants. Does anybody know anything about them or having any experience growing them. I of course will Google it, but just want to hear from first hand experiences.


I am accumulating my wish list for when I go antiquing and thrift shopping. I am in the market for a black rotary phone. It can have the plastic dial or the metal, but I want a black one for nostalgic reasons. I missed a great deal on Facebook Marketplace. Two different people had one for just $5. First guy already sold his. But second guy still has his. He is however one hour and 10 minutes away from
where I live. Not only is that a lot of gas to pay for a $5 item, but he meets in his town and he doesn't look like someone I want to meet by myself. So I'll just hold off.  


I ended up returning the primitive red & blue quilt my friend was letting me test driving this past fall. It just was not what I wanted. This was the quilt that started my quest. But I still can't find it anywhere at a price I am willing to pay for it. 


I did find this one that I like and it is a contender as they say. Just not positive on it yet. 


But I saw this one and really liked it. I am a patchwork gal. I love anything in patchwork.


But then I saw this. Be still my heart. Has the reddish tone I wanted but that pop of yellow is just what I want. So I think this may be the one. Only problem is the website has a link to your shopping cart but no link to actually PUT anything in your shopping cart. I despair of ever finding what I want. 


Have a great Saturday.
