Upgrading

-
I no longer spend time sitting at my computer desk unless I'm sewing so I upgraded to this BEAUTIFUL antique sideboard/buffet. 
I bought the sideboard for a reasonable price from a gal in my neighborhood who is relocating to Chicago. Its natural wood painted red with brass handles. I was going to get new handles but it matches the chandelier. I hated the chandelier but with this in the room and my red dressform, its starting to give the area a nice antique look.  Since it is so heavy and big, I hired a moving company to move it rather than renting a truck and asking friends for help. The hundred bucks to move it was WELL WORTH THE TIME AND LESS OF A HASSLE!
• My sewing machine fits on one side.
• I have all my arts and crafts in 3 of the drawers.
• The other side holds a filing case with all my bills
• The top drawers are for bill stuff, stationary and knick knacks.
I LOVE IT!

Now I'm going to get a small table with two chairs. I'm thinking about getting this...

It was fun, I won a bottle of nice wine and 3 of us bid on the "Taste of Highline dinner" where several moms and staff would make meals passed down from their families. We were able to invite up to 10 friends. There was Italian, Somalian, Soul, Mexican, and Hawaiian. There may have been another but I forget. It was sooooo yummy and was hosted at a house that was on Lake Burien. They told us there may be a boat involved. The boat turned out to be a battery operated dock that quietly moved in the water. That was a riot. It was a beautiful evening with stories of the meals with some of my favorite seattle friends. The weather had finally taken a turn for the nicer so for my friend Sar...

Summer came and went

Where did the summer go and what did I do. SOOOOO much. It was a great summer. I only ended up camping once but it was a good one. I went to PARIS! Which was gorgeous, romantic, rich in foods and simply breathtaking.  I wish I had time to post highlights of my summer but I can only suggest to check out all my photos since May on Flickr. It was a good summer in Seattle.
