Today began at 8:30 with some friends (my neighbors) getting together for a PSO (Planned Sunday Outing) to Revolution Donuts in Decatur. It was my first time there but my neighbors have been raving about it. Know how a lot of times places don't live up to the hype? Not so today. I loved it. Especially the salted caramel bacon donut I chose. Salted.Caramel.Bacon. No pictures (too busy moaning about how fabulous it was) but you can check them out ... here ....

Monthly Inspiration - Scott's Antique Market
After leaving the DMCH Flea Market here Scott's Antique Market was next. The second weekend of every month is one of my all-time favorite things. There are 3,300 vendors in two huge buildings with everything you can imagine for sale. I fell in love with this vendor's booth. Fell. In. Love.
UMCH Flea Market
Yesterday, a friend and I began our day at the United Methodist Children's Home in Decatur, GA. I didn't even know the campus was here much less that they hold fabulous flea markets two or three times a year.

Repairing with plaster moulding - Part 2
When I discovered I enjoyed making plaster mouldings I finally felt up to tackling a French armoire I had purchased more than a year before. In the antique/flea/junk shop it was all but hidden behind tons of stuff and the lighting was almost non-existent. Once it was delivered to my home all I could think of was "What was I thinking?" This was way past my skill set. So I left it sitting right where I saw it every day, reminding me to be more careful what I buy in the future.

Repairing with plaster moulding
When I bought a damaged gilt mirror I thought repairing it would be a snap. All it needed was a little cording and some paint and I could make it look good as new. Au contraire. The cording soaked up the glue and began to disintegrate. I tried again with different cording material but the same thing happened.
