I happen to love paint-by-numbers and still lifes. I found this one last week - isn't it great? The colors are wonderful and I love that I can vaguely see the number guides poking through the paint.

...Oh, the potential.

For now, it's black:

I love to spray paint metals! Instant upgrade.

I say the guest bathroom is black and white, but it's black and creamy as you can see. I love black and white. Love. Love. Love. I have white tapers that look smashing in black candlesticks.

I went to a Goodwill Boutique today. You ask (or you don't and I tell you), "What is a Goodwill Boutique?" It's just a plain old Goodwill with ridiculously higher prices. Scammers! I usually never go to them. But I couldn't not buy a few things on today's impromptu visit. This is a box for 2 decks of cards, so if I ever figure out how to play bridge, I'll be able to keep my cards someplace cute. Or my crack. You know.

I made those cameo earrings into sturdy magnets as promised!

I would love to do this more often, but I've noticed something: jewelry, no matter the quality, is exclusively displayed in glass cases here in Florida. When I was in Portland, the jewelry was set out for the masses to rummage through - my preference. Not that asking to see a certain something is too hard, but it sure is inconvenient.

These cameo earrings were found while thrifting in Portland, OR.

I usually don't even look at jewelry when I thrift (not much of a jewelry girl), but these clip-on earrings looked so perfect. For my refrigerator. I pulled off the clips and they're just waiting to be made into magnets.

Maybe $2.99 is a bit much, but a girl must have a fancy fridge, you know.
