Happy Monday!  Hope you all had a fabulous weekend. I've been eating my way through Austin, TX and it has been quite fabulous. I've also enjoyed not wearing a winter coat!  I'm excited to explore more of Texas in the week to come.  I do miss the furry faced dudes in my life but there is more to see and eat before I return!

Before I left, I did a little work on the ol' never ending office.  We last left with the office looking like this.

On Monday, I mentioned that I picked up an ad sack/feed sack/grain sack (you choose the term) that I planned to make into pillows.  I've had my eye on grain sacks for the past year but I hadn't run across one that fit in with our home decor. This bag was a definite winner.  Even Ike approved and he's picky.

Happy Monday!  Are Mondays ever happy?  They are when your birthday is tomorrow and you leave for vacation to Austin, TX on Thursday!  (Any suggestions on food and activities are welcomed!)  

My family was in town this past weekend.  We carried on my birthday weekend tradition by doing a little thrifting.  I was hoping to find some things for our office. I found a wire basket and an ammunition box.  The basket is for our uncontrollable paper situation and the ammo box just looked awesome.  I feel like it may be useful in a zombie apocalypse.  I'm always prepared. I found a grain sack that I am going to turn into a couple of pillows but probably not before zombies take over.  I also found the pickpocket sign for my brother.  It's pretty much perfect for him.  I think we're going to use it in an upcoming room makeover in his house.
