I’m sure there are many crafty things you can do with extra lids: You can use them as liners under wet things or oily things. Put them under the sink under cabinets to catch possible water leaks. You could use them as dividers of something. They could go under potted plants to protect the surface…
Meet the Whynter Portable Air Conditioner & Dehumidifier which is replacing my HVAC system that was struck by lightening. If you lose air conditioning you might not get it replaced quickly and this may be an option you want to look into. It’s 86 in Austin today; a bit hot. Also, I experience hangry, and…
I spent the afternoon painting this tiny lamp’s stained crwam-colores canvas shade to relax. Since the base is a stem I wanted the top to be a color so it would look more like a flower. While we now have internet, we still don’t have air conditioning and the fans help but they don’t take…
Our house got struck or affected by lightning yesterday in the storm and it burned the HVAC control and the internet. We spent this morning at ThoroughFare for internet so my husband could contact repair companies. Excellent everything . All 3 of us approved. I was hot and hungry so not as thorough as I…
Flowers and a caterpillar, woohoo! My farmers’ market bouquet had more than I expected. I rescued this little cutie caterpillar from the sink this morning and relocated them to the backyard. They did not like the first plant so I tried this one and it was acceptable. Always check your own garden produce, gifts from…

The featured image is of an old oak changing table that was in a church restroom. The pad was torn. The wood was beat up oak. The knobs were rose pink and from the 80s. It was sturdy, but a bit off putting to look at. In an effort to update the site and amenities,…
The Buy Nothing Give that didn’t happen. I posted this garment bag as a Give. It was up for several weeks with no takers. After holding onto it for 25 years you’d think I’d have more patience but I was on a kick getting rid of things (I reduced my clothing where I could fit…
This was not a guaranteed Buy Nothing Give Win. I wasn’t sure I’d have any takers but I had several! Me: Taken/Give: I don’t need this many dry erase markers. Let me know if you want one particular color or a few. I left the bin out on my porch and the few people that…
One of my decluttering clients had a lovely silk robe on the back of her bathroom door but on a cheap metal hanger. She asked if she needed to get rid of it. She liked to look at in when she was in the bath. So I told her it was actually bathroom art in…
