Ebay & PA

This was a crazy busy weekend. It started with an Ebay auction. I have been on the hunt for a vintage 60's-ish wall sculpture. Maybe something I could put over my bed? I don't need to tell you how hot this stuff is now... I needed to get lucky. My search was "metal wall sculpture" and I did it under "distance nearest first" for sorting. That way, I might find something close to my home.

I got lucky! I found this with "Pick-up Only" in the description.


It looks to me, like a {similar} mirror image of this one

Rugs seamed together

There was a slight problem....it was in Philadelphia, 2+ hours away. To my shock, I won the auction with only the minimum bid required $59. So, my daughter and I took off to spend the day in PA.


It was perfect weather! We went to a few museums


So took loads of pictures. We walked all around


Had lunch...and drove home.


What about the "men"...aka, husband & son? They went on their annual Spring outing to the NY International Auto Show. My son met NASCAR driver Joey Logano


He was also able to sit in this NASCAR


I would say that spring break is off to a good start!

Low Voltage Ceiling Lights

I love my kitchen ceiling. It has those halogen lights that Candice Olson always talks about. 

In fact, she is the reason why I requested them, even though we don't live in Canada (a quick shout out to all the Canucks out there). Canada has some GREAT bloggers! Here are additional views of the ceiling

The chandelier was an e-bay find for 35 dollars.
 

ceiling could use a little caulk

Recently a few of the halogen bulbs burnt out. I could not, for the life of me, figure out how to change the bulb. Twist? Pull? Thank goodness for YouTube, or should I say Jeff! He showed me the light


I hope your day is a bright one.
