Week 64 Random Pinehurst

Coolest rag rug I've ever seen.

Actually found this last year

at the Goodwill Tukwilla (WA)

and even though I was not sure where I would use it

I couldn't leave it behind.

Week 63 Random Pinehurst

A bit late this week, but here's this week's Random Pinehurst

Especially now that we renewed our Costco Membership and I can print photos

And I'm slowly but surely trying to weed down my hoard stash

and get stuff on the walls instead of hidden in the pile,

here's one that is generally in the right spot.

Just not quite up yet.

She still is pretty.

And 

one day

I'll actually hang her on the wall.

I think it is good enough

reason to celebrate

in that I took her out of the hoarder stash

and got her in to the general vicinity

of where she will hang.

Mellow Yellow - Pinterest Weekly #1

Since I spend so much time on Pinterest,
I figured I would curate a weekly (so you know that means monthly, right?)
board of Pinterest loving.

Here was the inspiration for my first themed board:

La Conner Tulip Hunting

Introducing
Mellow Yellow:

Mellow Yellow

October 2011

Fall is pretty much here.

Which means lots of gray skies in Seattle.

What color goes better with Gray than Yellow?

That's a sampling of the yellow I've pinned on my Pinterest Boards.

Be sure to stop by my Pinterest Boards

It is a zoo in here. Or, maybe, a barn

For a while, I've seen the blinkie to Barn Light Electric on a few of the blogs I frequent.

I've usually been really good about keeping my itchy finger away from the mouse

so I have not been too distracted by their pretty pictures.

But then twitter was all abuzz with this giveaway.

I said to myself, 

"self, you have a blog"

And I might have responded to myself

"self, you also have a house with lots of ugly builder grade lighting."

And maybe (perhaps), I then said to myself
"self, you need to work that out."

Have you heard of Barn Light Electric before?  

Let me take you on a virtual shopping spree.

If I won $1000, I would consider splurging on two of these:

Polished Chrome - Extended Arm Chart Light

$480

They would go on either side of my bed in the bedroom.

Then I would wake up from that dream and do something far more practical like two of these:

Mission Bell Pendant

$230

Those would go on my back porch, under the deck.

And three of these

The Mig Retro Steel Industrial Pendant Light - Yellow
$149

Those would go over my kitchen island.

 What would you get with a $1000 gift card?

Barn Light Electric is hosting the most amazing giveaway of the year.

Amazing because if I won, you have no idea how quick that $1000 gift certificate would become something like a 50% off coupon.  Just saying.

The prizes include:

1st place - one $1000 grand prize gift certificate and the second place prize is one $500 gift certificate.  That should help finish up a project or two.

Here’s how you can enter too:

1.      Look around Barn Light Electric and pick lights you’d love to own.

2.      Feature your lighting picks on your personal blog, and link to the lights if you can!

3.      Copy/Paste these rules at the bottom of your blog article.

4.      Once your personal article is up, you must email your blog link to: contest@barnlightelectric.com to be qualified to win. The contest ends October 12^th, 2011.

5.      Don’t have a blog? Find out how you can enter by visiting their website.

was a $6 score at Goodwill Des Moines.

Sweet!
