Very Superstitious ( writing's on the wall )

Very superstitious - ladder's 'bout to fall..................

Some strange things happening around these parts.......................

Very strange indeed...............

Okay - first of all - I'll tell you - the last 3 digits of my phone number are 666.................

Creepy?

A little - but they're only numbers for goodness sakes, right?

Yesterday someone responded to an ad of mine - and the last 3 digits of THEIR phone number was

666

Creepy?

Well, definitely weird - but hey - coincidences happen.

After dinner last night I came in to write up a post - and happened to check my stats,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Suzan screams - JOHN - can you come here for a minute?
John says - What?
Suzan says - You don't see anything strange in these numbers?
John shrugs - No, why?
Suzan says - The three 6's
John says -  I'm working - for crying out loud Suzan - can you stop this ridiculousness for just one night?
John walks away
Suzan stews
Suzan copies and pastes
Suzan's terrified an image of Satan will appear when she pastes it on to her blog
Suzan's terrifed it might be JOHN................

Suzan breathes a sigh of relief when it DOESN'T appear.

Creepy?
You bet................beyond creepy actually.

Now we can all laugh about this - but I'm really a little freaked out - what the hell is going on around here?

I have goosebumps - really - even if I'm being ridiculous - and over the top dramatic..........

I don't like it - at all.............( and something else happened with 3 6's later in the evening but it's

so ridiculous I feel like you wouldn't believe it - I can barely believe all of this myself - so won't bother with that ) 

If I see one of these today

I may just go right over the edge...................

When you believe in things that you don't understand 
Then you suffer 
Superstition ain't the way, yeh, yeh 

Have a good Saturday all!
I'm not going anywhere near a mirror - that's for sure!

Oh and I just turned around 7 times in a clockwise pattern - it's supposed to counteract any bad luck............................
Wish I were joking - thought I was going to throw up when I was finished - dizzy - but maybe bad luck free.

If you missed yesterday's post there's a great giveaway going on here.

And I'm sending you all this today - to counteract any bad luck you may have had visiting me

Please touch it 4 times - 
and then turn around 7 times clockwise 
and touch your right ankle twice
while crossing your eyes
You should be fine.........

Have a very happy St Patrick's day 
Erin go bragh& Try not to step on any cracks. 

Give Away time again - and a day at Piorra Maison

Good morning everyone!!!

I had a very rough couple of days - couldn't sleep at all on Tuesday night - so spent the night painting and then went to Piorra Maison first thing in the morning - and was so exhausted when I got home, I can't tell you.
Came home to 86 emails that I haven't had time to reply to yet ( going to try my best after writing up this post ) and a pounding headache that seems immune to Tylenol!  My sleeping habits leave a lot to be desired and have been particularly bad in the last couple of years ( menopause ? ) but for the last couple of months
( after shaking off some stressful situations ) it seems to be under control - except for these " flare ups "
( that's what we'll call them ) where I just don't sleep at all.................... SO if you were kind enough to take the time and drop me a line - please note that I read them all - and am trying to play " catch up "!!!
I didn't have time to drop by anyone's blog either - wonder what I'm going to do the week after next, when I'm on site at a clients - sleeping pills here I come, I suppose!

Ok - ready to go shopping?
First of all when I walked in the door I was met with apologies that they are low on stock and have a huge shipment coming in any day now.
Apologize?
Really?
Any more items and I would have been on sensory overload.
It's filled to the brim as usual with such beauty, that once again I just jumped in with my camera ( she knows when I walk in there that the camera is going to come out and that there's going to be a lot of people joining me on these shopping days lol and it's really sweet of her to allow me " carte blanche ", don't you think? )
The first thing I gravitated towards was this gorgeous vanity that Caroline's niece Melanie did -
It's done in Paris Grey and White - probably my 2 favorite colors - and I'm in love with it - it's such a unique piece of furniture - and the mirror is just to die for!

here's my dresser - which has never sold - so I'll show it off one more time before she gets a complete makeover.............she's probably going to go all white - because that's what seems to sell

do you remember this paper weight from my Christmas give away?

Christmas Give-Away won by Heaven's Walk

Check out the new one!  Big Ben - Umbrella - Raincoat - that would be London lol - isn't it adorable?

Now to the back of the shop - this is where all the magic happens -
we worked together on a piece ( me learning a new technique ) which Caroline had already Mod Podged - isn't it fabulous?
a custom piece that a customer will be using for a wash stand in her powder room

there's something about a Studio - that just feels so " like home " to me - with multi color splashes of paint all over the place - what I wouldn't give to have a designated area like this................

and we went our for lunch......................walked all over the place looking for a salad ( because that's what Suzan wanted!!! stamp my foot ) and finally settled for a soup and panini )  do you really care what we had for lunch?  I didn't think so - but your getting a photo of it anyway - because a photo was taken and it's not going to waste LMHO

We walked around giving things names of ASCP - eg.... the sky looked very much like a mix of Louis Blue and Pure White lol
We browsed in shops................

And I finally bit the bullet and purchased some Transfer Gel - which Caroline carries -
and we called it a day.
A very full day.
A beautiful day.

Hope you enjoyed having a peak - if there was anything that caught your eye I'm sure Caroline would be happy to answer any questions ( if she can find the 5 minutes that that would require ) and although she doesn't have an on line store yet ( I keep telling her she should have one ) I know that she would be more than happy to ship out anything.

NOW -  time for another give away - as I'm writing up this post we're at 798 followers - too close to 800 not to say 800 so...................
Caroline and I are joining forces to present this
