Do people still use drysinks?  And, what's the point of a sink that's dry?  Hmmm.  Anyways, this is a free on craigs list rescue.  Abandoned on a back deck and  left out in the rain.  :{  This makeover took about 3 or so hours only.  A quick sand and wipe down, a coat of aqua paint and then two different shades of gray drybrushed over, which was kind of fun, and then about 20 minutes with the electric sander to distress, which was really fun.  I shined up the original hardware with sandpaper, and then a quick coat of minwax in clear.

Pretty Girl

Antiqued and shabby vintage maple dresser.  Re-syled!   Sure wish I had taken a before photo, but the day we picked this up it had been sitting out in the pouring rain for at least an hour.  The fronts of the drawers were so water logged it would not close.  After a couple months of drying out, it's perfect.  Sturdy solid and given a new life.  Now  we just need to find it a new home.  :)

Looking for Turtles,

Apparently.  That is what Gabe replied to my inquiry after I convinced him to get back in the van so we could continue on our route of errands and things that must get done, or had been put off a day too long already.  I had just picked up from school when he convinced me to head down a side street, pull over, and open the sliding side door with my automatic push button.  He jumped out, looked both ways and then again.  "Does anyone own this land?" he wondered aloud, hesitating only for a second as he crossed the road to begin his search.  I let him be for about 5 minutes, trying to be patient and let him look, all the while wondering what he was searching for.  He had gotten a tip at school and had gotten his mind set.  A ball? Some kind of 5th grade treasure?  A four leaf clover?
