What I saw at Sage Farm: 3 things I had to stop myself from buying
Posted: February 22, 2014 Filed under: Fun Finds, Sage Farm | Tags: Antiques and Collectibles, Mid-Century modern, reverse-paint 2 CommentsOh, did I want them.
But responsible dealers are not supposed to spend all their profits as soon as they make them. At least that’s what BluesRay tells me. (How does he know, anyway?)
So I held onto my wallet and pulled out my camera instead.
1. This amazing white steel cabinet with a Formica countertop and sliding glass doors on top. Total midcentury [heart]. I love how this dealer added just a few red accents, so you see the cabinet and not just the smalls. Alas, no room in my kitchen for it.
Also, those red tulip tumblers? More midcentury [heart].

Oh, sure. I’ll just switch on the kitchen telly.
Oooh, look! It’s the women’s freestyle waterskiing finals!
Looks like the Weeki Wachee mermaid is blowing away the competition. Yep, there’s more!

We Two Kings of Orient Are

1. It’s officially the last day of Christmas. Waaah!
2. It’s time to think about taking down the tree. Waah!
3. We’ve eaten all those homemade white chocolate-dipped pretzels and now my jeans are too tight. Waah! I have to do something about that. Other than buying bigger jeans. I promise to start right after I bake Epiphany cake. Results (about the cake, I mean) to be posted later.
Meanwhile, let’s celebrate the day with these three wise men.
Would you believe . . . two wise men? Yep, there’s more!
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

It’s been snowing since this morning.
So far we have fifteen inches.
It’ll snow all night.
Twice already we’ve shovelled the driveway, the front steps, and the back deck. We’ll do it again before bed. We’ll do it again in the morning.
I can hear the snowplows scraping down the street every half hour. I love being inside my snug house and hearing that sound. They’ll be plowing straight through tomorrow afternoon. Twenty-eight hours of shoving snow around! God bless the plow guys. Yep, there’s more!
