Kitchen lights

John says - A couple of German helmets just arrived from Amazon.........................

John accidently shattered one of the ones we already had in the kitchen with a plank of wood 

Suzan says - Well if you hadn't broken one of the Kitchen lights I wouldn't have had to order a different set !

John says - Couldn't you have just replaced the one I broke ?

Suzan says - Nope - I don't want to be changing them every 6 months................these are indestructible.

John says - That's why they wore them in wars.

This is what we had 

But to be honest with you - being glass - and being in a small kitchen - they constantly had to be cleaned.

I feel like I have to keep letting everyone know that the word MANGE is EAT in French - not MANGE as in the disease LOL !!!

If any of you decide to visit Montreal - you'll think all the restaurants have a warning on their windows of an outbreak of MANGE LMHO !!!

Now I have to wait patiently for my Son to come and install the helmets

( War is hell on the home front too - and God only knows what a woman goes through..................)

And that song ?

When my Son was 6 years old he was obsessed with it - used to go to bed with a tape recorder listening to it - and if that's not aging myself I don't know what is !!!

THAT'S how we used to listen to personalized music LOL - long before the ipod was invented.

If anyone's interested, the lights were 39.99 each - so even if this whole vintage industrial thing is a trend - at least they don't cost an arm and a leg...................

What you can't see in the site's pictures is that they're " distressed " along the edges - revealing a little bronze color

that goes nicely with this newest project I'm working on !

Have a wonderful day all 

Much love,

Me

Thinking of summer.........................

On Craig's List  ( maybe filled to the brim with colorful flowers? )

I'd love these in the garden !

Not even sure what I'd do with this - but just love it !

Suzan says - I'd love to get that crib and pram for the garden
John says - WHAT?  FOR THE GARDEN?
John says - THERE'S NO WAY - ABSOLUTELY NO WAY - YOU'RE PUTTING THOSE IN THE BACK YARD - IT'LL LOOK LIKE A DAY CARE FOR GOD'S SAKES

Suzan says - Well there's these 2 elephant garden stools I'm in love with
John says - I hate 'em...............besides, you need Indian decor for them
Suzan says - THEY'RE FOR THE GARDEN - I DON'T NEED INDIAN DECOR FOR THEM AT ALL
Suzan says - You're really getting quite miserable you know..................

But he did agree to these - and I already know exactly where they're going

Aren't they fabulously weathered?

John says - We're just entering the first week of February - why are you looking for outdoor furniture?
Suzan says - I wasn't - I was looking for antique prams and cribs - and these just sort of found their way to me.
John says - Well there's nowhere to store them until summer - you've got the shed crammed to the roof
John says - There's too much in the back yard - and there's too much in the bloody house
John says - Why does every square inch have to have something in it?
Suzan says - Well I could put one of the chairs in the living room..................
John says - Sure - and why don't we just put a swing set in there while you're at it or better yet, a sand box ?
John says - We have an outdoor ladder in there anyway
( he's still going on about the ladder ? )

I sat on the first one and fell to the floor - like crashed to the floor

John says - Great deal you got there Goldilocks - laughing his head off

But it was a great deal - it's just missing a bolt - easy enough fix - and other than that these are the sturdiest folding chairs LOL ( really they are ) very solid ( as long as all the bolts are in )

Thinking of summer is the only way I know how to get through winter !

( And I still want those elephants )

Have a wonderful Monday everyone !
Summer's right around the corner - we just have to get through the end of Winter - and then Spring.............
Nothing to it really
I think I'll put up an outdoor umbrella in the living room just to see John's reaction!

Hugs -
Me
