Finishing Touches


The new house is about 99% finished. I can't wait to show you pictures.
But, just to clarify, I do not own this house. I'm just renting it.
The approval process was background checks from the rental company.
But it is MY house to me!
I just have a few more things I need to get for The Studio.
(Yes, I just turned it into a proper noun.)
I need a nice rug or two, and a beautiful comfy chair.

It's beautiful. Ah, I can't wait for pictures.

Here are a few I snapped outside on my way out this morning.
 And, to show you that I am capable of talking about other things besides the house...

Brad and I went to the antique mall a few days before the big move.
I think they have a no photography rule..
So, I would pull out the camera real fast, snap a picture all while coughing.
I think it worked.
Besides, I go there often enough the owner recognizes me and likes me. 
Also, I'm officially starting a Star Wars collection now that I have a place to put it.
So far, I have the Wicket Pez Dispenser, a lunch box, and a pencil box.
I'm going to need a lot more. 
I've convinced myself to go back for this entire set.
Or at least Darth Vader.
If he is still there.


Oh yes!
And I'm sorry I haven't been responding to comments these last few days.
I normally try to reply to each comment, but I've been mega busy.
Thanks so much for all your support and comments! I'm back to replying!

  4. Is that the Capitol city antique mall in SLC? Or the one in Sandy? I've been meaning to go to a few antique shops lately, there is one in Mt Pleasant I want to go to that my brother says is cool, but its quite a drive. Also, you should come to Barnes and Noble, we have super cute Star Wars plush toys of Chewbacca and Darth Vader. We also have a star wars watch I think (I know... at a bookstore???)

    2. I've never been to the springville one, but my grandma who lives in Payson always talks about it! Maybe I need to take a trip up there this afternoon to visit her (and go shopping!)

  6. Star Wars story alert:
    i do daycare, and yesterday we were playing in the snow, and a little brother and sister that i watch were fighting with their "lightsabers" and the little guy fell down, obviously "injured" and the sister yelled "ANNNNNAAAAKKKKIIIIINNNNN!!!! Are you alright!?"
    I love children. I love imagination!!!
    :)
    Happy Day!

  7. Ohmigosh I love how you can see the beautiful mountains with snow on it from your front porch! Lovely!!

    That's odd that there's no photo-taking in the antique shop? Why would that be?? That just seems a bit silly to me... what do they think you're gonna do? Use the photos to slag off their store? Haha unlikely. You're so sneaky, still taking pics though haha! :)

    1. I think it's because they don't want you to use photos to sell the stuff there.. I don't know. It's strange.

  10. it seems every community has an antiques mall just like that one...i was looking at your pics, and you could be wandering thru OUR local antique co-op and it's on the other side of the country! also, i had no idea so many chicks dig star wars! i do too, but i always felt like kind of a geek within my circle cuz none of my girls like star wars much...they just humor me! great house, tho! looking forward to more pics! have fun!
