5 thing Friday - driving, shelf liner, bluebonnets, chairs, quail

I haven't written one of these posts in a while...
Hopefully we will staying closer to home this weekend than last.  I want to get some things done around the house, and I want to relax.
So. Much. Driving.
I always offer to do some, Hubby always says no.  I'm not even sure where I took the above pic,but it was my view all last weekend.  It's supposed to rain in the Austin area tomorrow - maybe I will take him to an afternoon movie and I know he'll let me drive for that!
I purged and cleaned in my tiny laundry room the weekend I was on call.  Tossed some decor stuff I wasn't going to use anytime soon, wiped down the shelves. Vacuumed all of the dust bunnies and wiped down the washer and dryer, inside and out.  And yesterday I got around to lining the shelves above with new shelf liner from Dollar Tree.  It's those little things, ya know...
 Shutterfly woos me with freebies frequently, and mostly I don't bite because I don't have time or inclination to sit there and create something "free" they're going to charge me ten bucks to ship.  But sometimes I cave...ordered a new set of playing cards for Highlands with a fav bluebonnet pic from last year.  Shipping was $8.  Still expensive, but Hubby and I play cards often and the pic is sweet!
These rusty vintage-y chairs - I LOVE THEM.  They are on the balcony at the Whole Foods we go to for beer and people-watching.  These would be so great for the porch at Highlands...I need to find out where they got them.
I finally got around to spray painting the little quail I found at a thrift store.  She sits sweetly in the tray on the dining table with her hollow, creepy eyes...I like her, so she stays.

  1. Your laundry room shelves look great! Funny that you should mention your laundry room. I have been standing in mine, looking around, wondering what I could possibly do with it. It needs improvements in so many different ways, that I am almost overwhelmed at the thought.
