I do not know what happened to it but I did not take it with me when I got married. We had talked of getting one for the new house that will not be ours. In our present house I do have a dressing area with sit down space and drawers which I guess classify as a dressing table just not as pretty. It is nice to have my own space though.<br /><br />Just yesterday we were talking about thrift store shopping and the fact that just do need more stuff. Boohoo! It is one of our favorite things to do together. We need to shop our garage! <br /><br />Meals are planned here and Aldi shopping done. Everything is out of our bedroom from the carpet install but we have a long way to go before everything is back to where and how it belongs. <br /><br />The way we remember to thaw food for the next day is to move what needs to be thawed from freezer to fridge right after supper each evening. Sometimes we remember though as we are going to sleep. Then hubby is down in the garage poking through the freezer and getting out what is needed. <br /><br />Have a good week!Lanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09380649410508372279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959918163454225829.post-45918300452022990562016-08-20T22:55:27.563-04:002016-08-20T22:55:27.563-04:00Love the dressing table..

My mom always had a dressing table at home, and I have had one for about the past 35 years. I love having a dressing table. I have a lighted makeup mirror on mine, so that spoils the vintage effect a bit, but it's the only way I can see what I am doing. The dressing table saves so much space and time spent in the bathroom. Our home only has one bathroom. There are only two of us here now, but when the kids were still home, it would never have worked for me to be in there doing my hair and makeup with four of us here. <br /><br />I base weekly shopping on my weekly menu plans, and just one day of forgetting to thaw something can throw things off. The last week or two I think my brain might be taking a little end of summer break. I have forgotten to get dinner ingredients out to thaw a couple of times, plus I am so tired of eating my own cooking, maybe not thawing stuff was a subconscious thing.. We haven't had carry out or anything that I haven't cooked, or some kind of processed boxed or frozen food in more than a month. It does save some money not to eat out, though.<br /><br />I hope you will show us the aprons that you make. I love aprons, mostly in winter though. They make me too hot in summer. Just about everything makes me too hot in summer these days.<br /><br />susie @ persimmon moon cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01653330247272673990noreply@blogger.com
