One Year Blogging - Celebrating With Rust...

So, I decided to buy myself a present. :)

In my last post, I mentioned drooling 

over an old rusty green wagon.

Seriously. I saw it, and I WANTED it. 

I actually left the store without it.

But I kept thinking about it all morning at work.

So I took a lunch and went to buy it.

Thankfully it was still there!

My sweet picker guys Jack and Greg had 

chosen it just for me. So I felt a tad OBLIGATED.

You know these things work. 

One MUST maintain 

healthy business relationships, right?

They thought of ME. I was flattered.

(Or maybe I should NOT have been? Hmm.)

 She still has the original rubber

handle and old wheels.

(There I go again. The wagon must be a girl.)

And her wheels are original. 

I can make out lettering on the sides.

It says something like G A M I LL SPECIAL.

Any clues?

Do you love that color as much as I do?

I like it so much, that now

I'm thinking of painting my front door 

that turquoise-y green. 

And I can imagine her now...

full of fall pumpkins, gourds and flowers.

Though I will need to see what I can do to 

keep her from completely rusting out.

I like rust, but I must be practical. 

They also found me another thing of beauty...

This is definitely the largest colander I have ever owned.

I don't think I could AFFORD enough apples to fill this thing.

But isn't she lovely? (Another girl.)

I think I DO have some masculine items...

I just can't remember what they are.

It IS rather Frenchy of me...assigning

genders to all my inanimate objects.

And the best part of all in my self-indulgent 

rusty-love celebration? It only set me back

twenty buckaroos.

Yep - $15 for the wagon

and $5 for the colander.

How about them apples for 

a nice way to celebrate one year 

of Revisionary Life?

Thank you for reading.

Thank you for leaving kind, encouraging comments.

Thank you for being the BEST virtual friends

a girl could have. And I mean that.

And I'd also like to wish a very happy anniversary to

one of my very best virtual friends - 

Lynn of Shabby Story.

We both began blogging on the same

day - August 18, 2011. 

If by some chance you've not yet visited Lynn,

DO IT. She knows how to style like

nobody's business. Her home is cozy,

fresh, airy and light - with just the right amount 

of STUFF. And she's very clever at

re-purposing things and making you

wonder why you never thought of it!

I promise I'll show you my rusty present

all decked out for fall before long!

Word for the Day:

Matthew 6:19-20

¹⁹  “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures 

on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where 

thieves break in and steal,

²⁰  but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, 

where neither moth nor rust destroys 

and where thieves do not break in and steal.
