I won the costume contest and this liquor gift card.
Only a minimum of people were in dressed up. The most popular costume was Bob Ross, with 3 separate fellows in this. This Bob Ross was our favorite.

I have this little display cabinet in the kitchen that holds mixing bowls and dishes. Years ago, His Lordship replaced the antique glass with plexiglass so our little baby M would not fall through and slice her jugular vein. I had decided it was time for a makeover - how hard can it be?
Well months later, I can answer that question - fucking hard. The varnish over the stain was thick and I used a gel stripper. That took ages and was a mess. Then the sanding lasted forever. I was hoping to leave it a light color like lots of my other furniture, but alas, I could not remove all the remnants of the old dark stain which kept bleeding pink every time I cleaned it. Hence, I had to stain dark again. It had to hang in the garage because it was off-gassing and it stunk.
Also, I discovered the back was cheapo veneered wood so that had to be painted as it could not be sanded and re-stained.
I had the brilliant idea to do stained glass in the doors and designed two bespoke spider webs, each around 90 pieces of glass. After a dozen glass cuts on my fingers and a lot of blobby soldering, I have finished my doors.
Time for some assembly and to get this bad boy back in the kitchen!
His Lordship and I walked to Manitou today . I have to say I have not really explored town in a long while and it shows. Up on Ruxton Ave. we have assorted new shops that all have a spooky vibe. One of these is a plant shop called Flowers and the Moon.
Someone in this store is a creative genuis as I expect that they created these displays. They sell many amazing plants and planters.
I went to see the Barbie movie. It was cute and pink and I laughed a lot. however we all know I prefer things a little gloomier. Here are some darker Barbies.

Ghost BarbieHis Lordship hates throw pillows. He just doesn't see the point. I however, find them charming. This year's throw pillow collections across the box stores leave nothing to be desired - THEY ARE ADORABLE.
At Homes Stores had a great big heap of them.
