A Little Trick From Pinterest

Hi to all my lovely 

blogging friends!

I have to tell you 

how very much I enjoyed 

reading your comments in my last post.

  It confirmed my love of blogging 

and 

the wonderful comradery of blogging sisters.

Today I just want to share

a little DIY trick that 

I discovered on Pinterest.

My living room baseboard

was a skimpy 2 1/4 inch.

By adding a small trim

above it and then 

painting in between 

with the baseboard color

I turned it to a 7 inch

baseboard.

That brown board beside 

the paint brush 

was what I used to space it, 

instead of measuring all the time. 

If you do this on sheetrock 

it will turn out much better

than my painted paneling, 

because you wont have those

tell tale lines. 

Well, that's it 

short and sweet.

Tomorrow is my 81st 

Birthday . . .

and I bought myself 

a new sofa that will be

delivered Wednesday.

The Nazarene Church in 

our town is having a 

yard sale for their 

missionaries, so I called 

them and they came 

and picked up my old couch 😊

hopefully it will help.  

Well, you all know that

you'll be getting 

a picture of my

new one on my next pot.

Until then, have a lovely

week and I hope this 

little DIY trick will 

inspire at least one of you :)

I'm Back!

 

I've been away from Blog-land

for a while,

but now I'm back.

My life just doesn't seem

interesting enough to

bother you with reading 

my post.

My garden is a mess

flowers are blooming

but my veggies are

not doing well at all.

Finished

I did purchase these two

secondhand chairs

and redid them for my kitchen.

Like I said the garden is 

producing flowers but not veggies

 I found this sign at the Goodwill for $3.

I hope you enjoyed it. 

Please leave a comment 

 I love reading them.

Have a lovely weekend.

An Amazing Gift From A Friend

While researching the history of this

beautiful phone I came across

this information on the 

correct operations on using it

and

doing it with respect to the operator

as well as connecting with the person your calling.    

Then using the name on the 

hand cranked generator

inside and the numbers on the base,

I found this information.

The number 893 pinpoints this phone 

to be late 1910s or early 1920s 

(specifically around 1915-1920).

Most of these phones were 

in the 890 series,

meaning this 893 

is a slightly scarer model.

This design was often called the 

"Farmer's Telephone".

It was sold heavily to independent, 

rural cooperatives to bypass 

the urban constraints 

of the early Bell System.

The second number 1038538

indicates 

that it was made at the 

peck of World War I.

 

 

My friend called me 

last week

and ask if I would 

come over, 

because there was something 

she wanted to give me.

When I found out what 

it was I asked her 

to be sure that 

her children didn't 

want it.

She said no 

she had already asked them

and no one wanted it.

She said she thought of me 

 because of my old house

and she thought it 

would be perfect here.

Well I am delighted, 

It certainly fits 

the style of my 1905 home.

Thanks for stopping by,

and if you have the time 

 please leave a comment.

I love reading them.
