New Stuff!
I think we all would agree that it's nice to have new things once in a while. Today for Show & Tell, I'm sharing a couple of new things from around the house.
The first is a lovely surprise from Hubby. He has always been good at spoiling me and a few years ago he figured out that my 'love language' (one of them) was 'gifts'.
So last weekend while at an outlet mall buying Chucks(shoes) for himself, he also bought me something new:
A French Rolling Pin!!
I was very excited because I have wanted(dreamed of, wished for) one of these for a while now.
I have to tell you, as I was posting this, Hubby walked by and thought it was strange for me to be posting a picture of it,
but I had to share what he had done for me!
I haven't used it yet. I guess I'll have to make some pastry....and berries are in season....mmm.
(I must also add that the picture didn't look like much, just a stick of wood and so I added the text. I think I also created an optical illusion. I don't know if it's just me, but the top edge of the picture looks crooked, but it's not. It's because the end of the rolling pin slopes.)
I babble...
and so I'll continue on with the next photo.
Recently, Hubby also built two picnic tables from a Home Depot kit, for our deck.
Now when we eat outside, our entire family can sit at a table!
Our old patio set had just a round table that sat 4 and so we often ended up eating on our laps.
Now we have room for company too!
Our plan is to get two matching market umbrellas for them. Maybe when all of the outdoor things go on sale at the end of the Summer we'll find something suitable.
It would be nice to get the kind that have tiny LED lights under them to create ambiance.
