Garage sale buys Luggage & Vases & Pictures

Alarm goes off at 6:45 a.m. (Press snooze), alarm goes off again 5 min later... Spring outta bed. Make coffee * Put in contacts * Brush teeth * apply makeup. All is going smoothly until time comes to wake up my Mr.
I told him 3 times to wake up and he is just not getting outta bed. Finally Mr. gets out of bed.. and has a HORRIBLE HEADACHE. ("I swore in my head")
Mr. takes advil and lays on couch. I get a cold cloth and throw it at his face ("Okay I did not really I placed it gently on his forehead, like the loving wife I am.") The clock is ticking 30 min goes by... ("Oh dear the Mr. must have fallen asleep.") I then think ("Hmmm I suppose we will just stay home.") BUT just to be sure I ask him how he feels. He sits up and says: It's gone! ("Jeaz I never been this happy all week")

(On the subject of photo albums)

I haven't put a picture in one for years. And then a weeks back my Mom told me they were gonna see some extended family no one has seen in years and asked me for a recent pic of me and my guy. *uhhhh* Hrmm they are all on my computer.. and I was not about to hand that over. For months I have been saying I wanna start getting photos developed again and having some family albums for times when they could be useful. I love looking through our old family albums and I am sure others do too. So hopefully these albums I found will give me the kick in the pants I need to start going to the photo lab!

I have more to show but don't want to bog down your internet *wink* Will post the other stuff in the next day or so.

P.s. I found a lettuce green vintage nightie, I want to dance in a cabbage patch!

~*Vintage Plant Stands*~

Needing some advice on these plant stands. In my last blog I mentioned garage sales and how I got two plant stands one was for only 50 cents which was this one.

I plan to keep this one inside because it does not have much rust and I would like to keep it in the shape it is.
Now the second one I paid 2 dollars for it is the unpainted brass one (I adore it)
it has some rust going on and I do not know whether to leave it or give it a brand new paint job.

The one next to it in the picture was given to me by my Grandma, it was her Mother's. When I was given this it was brass and rusty, I then painted it a bright yellow and it sat that way for a few years. Then I changed it to the way it was painted in the pic and it has been blue and white for about 3 yrs. Now my question is these are going to be outside and I would like to give them a makeover. I would love to paint them in the same color so they match. What color do you think would look great on them? I just really can't decide, and I would appreciate any input.
