Journal Palooza Part Two

Along with all the journals in my thrifted lot there was a photo album, an address book, a sketch book, a set of fun pens, and a to-do list with a magnet on the back. This matching pair of journals were still in their retail shrink wrap, and will be perfect as a purse/desk combo.

The photo album has laser-etched wood covers, and would be great to use for some pics I have of Yellowstone.

It amazes me what some people will just throw away. Thank goodness this person donated the album instead to Goodwill.

I think many young people are gifted journals by a well-meaning family member who wants them to have a place to write down their thoughts (I've done that; I even handed out journals to kids I didn't know.) I wish more of them would actually use the journals.

I might try to hand out some of these to young people I know. It's all about the presentation, and what you say, which can be tricky, but sometimes they appreciate it.

The pen set, which has fun motivational sayings stamped on each one.

The big sketch book in the center has beautiful paper in it. The to-do list (I burn through two or three of these every year) will also be helpful. The advertising journal made from vinyl and cork that came with a pen will likely end up being another of my desk journals.

I got two of the advertising journal in the center there, each with a beautiful pen. I would put a resale value of $5.00 per item on this lot, which would make it worth a total of $105.00. I paid $14.03 for it. Savings: $90.97.

Gifts

This is a story that starts out very sadly, so if you're depressed by the holidays you might want to skip the first part. As far back as I can remember I've dreaded the holidays. Being poor, having constant family troubles and belonging to a strict religion made that time of year always pretty unhappy. I just hunkered down and hoped to get through without being yelled at or punished because I didn't do something I was expected to do, like sit in church for hours without moving or making a sound while a priest spoke mass in Latin. Gifts were uniformly disappointing, too. My mother usually gave me dolls or socks or underwear for Christmas. I understand now as an adult that she was doing the best she could, and trying to save money at the same time, but as a kid I'd been told good children got what they wanted for Christmas. I was a pretty good kid, but while my friends received new bikes and cool toys and lots of treats from Santa, I didn't. I thought San

We Have Backsplash!

Yesterday my guy and I decided to chose this natural stone as the backsplash tiles for our new kitchen counters (which will be in the same quartz I'm holding at the bottom of the photo.) Since all the bids for installing the backsplash came in very high my guy is going to put it in himself; he's done a bit of tile work in the past, too. I swear there is nothing this guy can't do. :)

Detoxing Results

For twenty-four hours I left these five vintage cigar boxes sit with detoxing agents (baking soda, coffee grinds, dryer sheets, vinegar and Febreze) inside them to see which worked best to remove the tobacco/storage odors that came with them. I then removed the agents and did a sniff test. Before we get into the results, a reminder: none of what I do is ever meant to be expert advice, as I am certainly not an expert at anything. Follow my methods at your own risk, and please first consult an actual antique expert conservator or restorer to detox items that have value for you. Okay, let's see how my experiment worked. Baking soda (left) did nothing to remove the odors. I think if I let it sit for a longer period of time it might have done something, but for a 24-hour test it was a complete fail. Coffee grinds (right) removed 100% of the odors, and left behind definite coffee scent. I like that and think it goes very well with wood, but if you don't like the smel
