I like a light in a shower stall. And also a fan. I have a fan/light combo in my shower stall and it is terrific. It's tricky to install but once there, makes cleaning up a cinch. You can put the switch on a timer.

Most of my thrift store buys end up as treasures. I think that is because I need nothing so when I do pick up something there, it has to be fabulous, something I really appreciate, and, as a result, I use all the time.
For example, I bought FOUR matching white china (not ceramic as I prefer china) bowls, each with two notches on the edge for your fingers, in perfect condition. I use them everyday to eat my yogurt and fruit at breakfast. I get a kick out of them every day. They are dishwasher safe and a breeze to clean.

The plant on the right is nice. As long as it is not too close to your house, I'd keep it and prune it severely. I will come back beautifully up there.

Yes, I worry about bleeding red rickrack. Unless you want pink pillowcases, be sure to make sure the rickrack is color fast. Perhaps a rinse in vinegar and water?

How did you get rid of the black bushes?

I've been cleaning out my parents' unoccupied house and I am thrilled when I find something that a friend will treasure that I am glad to be rid of.

1) 1910 English/Yiddish dictionary, falling apart but usable if you want to know the right yiddish word to use. Friend studying yiddish was thrilled when I gave it to him.
2) Vintage electric trains and accessories. On ebay they are not uncommon, therefore not that valuable, but a friend who collects such things couldn't be more excited to have them, dust, rust and all.

Organize clothes' closet by color. Makes dressing in the morning a lot faster.

This looks like a great pot to have for winter stews and soups.

I iron as little as possible.
But I hear that Rowenta makes a terrible iron.
