I watched the price escalate all week, vowing to walk away if it got over a certain number. And when it reached that amount, I moved the ceiling up a bit. In the end, I won. And she is a lovely doll, sitting in her box just waiting for the right time and place to be displayed.<br /><br />Lovely FTF. I love your countertops and the backsplash in white. And that cookie jar is SO fabulous! Sorry I didn't link up this week. I couldn't come up with an idea for a quick post in lieu of the more time consuming post I've been thinking of doing since November. It requires a lot of pre-prep time, which I promise myself that I'm going to start every Monday so that it will be ready for Friday. It's only Tuesday. Maybe this week is my week?<br /><br />ox -EElizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07980461113595763030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678998574963856841.post-58954763883075019492011-03-27T23:48:15.241+10:302011-03-27T23:48:15.241+10:30For me, it was a non-functioning Treadle Sewing Ma...For me, it was a non-functioning Treadle Sewing Machine at an auction a few years ago. Who am I kidding - I doubt I'll ever get that thing running. And it is ridiculously heavy and my mom and I already scraped up my wood floors trying to move it to its current location, my old sewing room that is now Donald's room. He's probably the only 5 year old with an antique sewing machine in his room, but I love seeing it every time I go up there, even all covered with toys.Vesuviusmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08447649002367621196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678998574963856841.post-5031579208034023012011-03-27T09:03:01.255+10:302011-03-27T09:03:01.255+10:30Yep sure did, seen this vase that went from pink t...Yep sure did, seen this vase that went from pink to purple to blue, and I had to have it!

I loved it, but every time I looked at it I could see the $35 dollars I spent on it. (We lived in a college town big on art.) I gave it to my daughter when she needed something for her house.

Until you remember that I have enough fabric for about a hundred more quilts in my room already. <br /><br />Our house is not styled in any way, except as a very full house, with Mum, Dad, 3 daughters in their early 20s (plus 2 occasional boyfriends) and an 8 year old as well. There's drawings and pictures and random stuff everywhere, but a lot of it came from the Salvos, or ebay, or the junk shop, so thankfully none of cost too much.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11266313274046316499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678998574963856841.post-59517880249477963172011-03-25T22:16:29.478+10:302011-03-25T22:16:29.478+10:30My splurges are usually on fabrics, though my Bird...My splurges are usually on fabrics, though my Bird Bowl is probably my most ridiculous and thoroughly enjoyed purchase.

It is perfect and on wheels so I use it all the time for extra bench space where ever I am working and it is my laptop table, the drawers are full of UFO's and the shelves have supplies and DVD's on them.Misteahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00041179627345053724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678998574963856841.post-18978139973549201572011-03-25T08:00:41.212+10:302011-03-25T08:00:41.212+10:30I have so many things that I are ridiculously expe...I have so many things that I are ridiculously expensive but I just have to have them.
