Dab of This and That

First of all - I want to start this post by saying I met three of the nicest ladies from the world of blogging today. Laura @ http://hiddenpromise.blogspot.com/, Susan @ http://thoughtsfromovertherainbow.blogspot.com/ , Laurie @ http://bargainhuntingwithlaurie.blogspot.com/ and I met for lunch. Well - they ate lunch, I just had "sweet tea" as it had not been long since I had eaten, as I was not sure what time I would be able to meet up with them, plus would have something to eat at my next stop. What an enjoyable visit with three of the nicest ladies and the conversation flowed like we had known each other for a long time. Actually Susan and Laura had met previously. Afterwards they all went shopping and really wished I could have joined them,, but I had already committed to doing something else. Yes, pictures were taken, but forgot to ask their permission to post a photo. I should have gone on with them, as my other plans had to be changed - oh well, maybe next time.

Got a few projects in the works ( a little black satin spray paint used), but did not get one of the finials painted this last week. Hope to finish up in next couple of days and get pictures taken to post, so you will know I do get a few things done around here. :-) Added a couple of rubons to a plain white candle a few days ago. The crown like that was not my idea - got the idea from Linda @ http://royaltouchart.blogspot.com/ - thanks Linda.



Went back and added the rhinestone.


Like I said - Dab of This and That. :-)
Hope everyone has a great weekend!

ETA: Was going to post these pictures for "Outdoor Wednesday", but not real sure how much I will be around next week - duty calls. More on that another time. What it looked like in my courtyard Thursday at 5:25PM when bad storms rolled thru. It is usually this dark around 8:30PM this time of the year. The white dots are rain drops - the way the flash made them show up.


2 or 3 minutes later -

Same line of storms that had 2 tornado touch downs. One several miles South of me and one several miles North of where I live - lots of damage. To close for comfort.
