Mosaic Monday and my 100th POST!!! And Ruby Tuesday!!!

Today I'm participating in Mosaic Monday, Ruby Tuesday AND it's my 100th post!!!

First my mosaic....On July 1, DH and I celebrated our 37th anniversary. As some of you know, I'm a traveling Physical Therapist Assistant, and these days live in a motel during the week, at home on weekends. On our anniversary, I spent the day at work, and as a surprise my DH drove the 2 hours to get to me to spend some time together! I was so surprised when he showed up to ask me out for supper and give me a dozen red roses! They were quite lovely and the smell made my otherwise "sanitary" smelling motel room, smell a little more like home.

Metamorphosis Monday

My Met Monday post is for these round tables that we all use for decorations. I was so excited
to find them so cheap at the Dollar General, but found out the legs are wobbly, and they don't hold up to much weight, or any bumping. In order to "tweak" these a little, I saw this on Trash to Treasure on HGTV and boy does it work wonders! This is what I do:

I find these stools at auctions, flea markets and garage sales. They sell them 2/21$ at Walmart. Or sometimes, like the one below, I get them for free from my DIL!!! We were at a garage sale that there were 2 of these stools for $5 each. They had the bottom rungs on 2 side chewed up by their dog, and I asked if they would take less. She said she couldn't, and my DIL spoke up and said they had 2 at home she would give me! Depending on their height, you can use them as is, or trim the legs to the height you need.

I buy a cheap round table kit at the dollar store or even Walmart. Using the round circle, I place it on top of the stool.

I attached the table top to the top of the stool with a single screw, and tadaaaa! The table is done! It now has 4 stable legs instead of 3 wobbly ones, and the table cloth fits better too. I even have a couple that my husband made bigger circles for bigger table tops, and they are wonderful. Now if someone can just give me an idea for all these wobbly legs I have! There has to be something they are good for too! Maybe I'll think of something and that will be another MET MONDAY post!

This is the finished product! Just what I wanted only more stable and inexpensive! Join everyone over at http://betweennapsontheporch.blogspot/ for more Met Monday ideas!

It's another Pink Saturday!

My Pink Saturday post is of some of my favorite things I've collected.

This is a Princess Diana paid calling card that I got off of EBay. It is very rare. The lettering is pink.

This vase is one that I got in a 1$ box at an auction. It has a small chip out of the top, but because it's a rose, it's one of my favorites.

My pig cookie jars have pink ears and noses

How about these cute little pink cows?

These little ladies were my Grandma Standley's. The small ones are salt and pepper, the larger one is for a scrubbie pad. They are so adorable! Thanks for joining me for Pink Saturday this week. Join Beverly at http://howsweetthesound.blogspot.com/ for more PINK things.
