Curio and Hutch Reorg

-


Just did a little reorganizing in the curio and hutch! I recently added some Hummels to my collection! 

Here are my latest additions: 







And this next one is on the way, hopefully! The seller placed the wrong address labels on two boxes and I got another buyer’s Hummel and that buyer might have gotten mine but it hasn’t been delivered yet. The seller alerted the buyer as to what happened. When the buyer receives his or her package, it’s likely my order. The buyer will confirm with the seller once received. If so, if that buyer is ok with it, I’ll get an address label from the seller for that buyer so it can be shipped from me and the seller will provide that buyer with a shipping label so it will ship directly to me. That is, if the buyer is comfortable with a stranger getting his or her name and address. I’m fine with it anyway. In fact, I recommended this option to the seller. But it wasn’t really my own idea. This happened to me previously with a different seller where the address labels were affixed to the wrong packages (reversed) and all parties agreed with doing it this way. The other buyer shipped my package to me directly with a label provided by the seller and vice versa. It worked out great! It reduced costs for the seller and reduced the amount of time for each of us to get our packages in hand! We didn’t have to wait for the packages to be shipped to the seller and then back out to each of us. And the seller didn’t have to pay shipping to get them back and then to resend. A win win for all! 

So, for now I have this Hummel, although I packaged it back up right away so as not to risk damage! 


And this was what I was supposed to receive, along with the original box and certificates of authenticity. 

Most are in my curio but a couple of them are in my hutch. Here are all of my Hummels inside the curio: 












And here are the two that are displayed in my hutch: 



I also got this nice collectible and added it to my hutch! He’s awesome! 


 I also recently added some collectible nurse figurines and placed them inside the hutch as well! This photo also includes the nurse Hummel above!

    ...And that is precisely why I always pre-package all of my items listed, preparing each one ahead of time -as not to make those same kinds of mistakes. I hope you get the one you had coming. They are truly amazing. Reminds me of Nana's so much.

    Thank you, Sis! The seller is working on it! He already refunded me to make things right but I’d still going to make sure I get the one I ordered. This Hummel comes with original box and certificate of authenticity. I only have one other Hummel that has the original box but no COA. So it’ll be nice to be able to get this one! It’s going to be sent to me but just delayed!

Too Much Rain!

We are getting way too much rain! Plus we had a snow melt with all of this rain! The yard is a mess! When walking down to the chicken coop, the lawn is so soft and squishy! I had to wear boots because my feet would have gotten drenched with regular footwear just walking across the lawn! No drought here!  Areas out front:  Our walkway from driveway to front of house! Crazy!   Areas out back:  I am glad the chicken run is relatively dry!  The first year with my chickens, they were all sinking in mud here! I had to add many bags of fine gravel, followed by many bags of sand to raise the ground level a few inches inside the run! It still wasn’t quite enough so I had to add many more bags of sand a couple more times until I could get the ground was raised enough to stay puddle-free! All in all, I raised the ground here about 7 inches from what it was! It was a lot of work! I can’t recall exactly how many bags of gravel plus sand were used. I’m guessing I used about 30, 50-pound bags of grav

Deck Work

We are in the process of replacing the deck boards and railings, as well as adding additional supports in various spots to enhance the strength of the deck over time. It was tough removing the old deck boards and getting the new ones into position. The new boards are pressure-treated and are 20 feet in length, so each board was very heavy and difficult to maneuver. Once we had the boards in place it took about 800 deck screws to secure them! That’s a lot of screwing, LOL! We still have the last two end boards to install, as well as the new railings, and then we need to work on the stairs. We are going with premade railings which will be easier to install after trimming them to fit properly. Since the trailer is tied up with the scrap boards and railings, we have to run to the dump when they’re open I was hoping to finish before the end of vacation but we decided to take a break and head up to New Hampshire to visit our son and his family!  Here is the progress so far!  We had the 20-fo

Christmas Decorating in Progress!

-

This year I decided to make some changes with some of my Christmas decorations! The old outdoor strings of lights needed to be replaced. One string no longer worked last year and I figured the others might not might not make it through another season. I have always enjoyed the multicolor lights but I know my husband loves blue lights so I decided to go with blue. They are very pretty but, to me, not as “Christmasy” as the multicolored lights. I could go to the store to get multicolored lights to replace them but it is just too much work at this point! We will remain decorated in blue for this Christmas anyway! LOL!!  But the highlight of my Christmas decorating this year is my new, pre-lit, artificial Christmas Tree! I had been using a pre-lit, artificial Christmas tree that I have had for at least ten years, possibly closer to 15 years! But it was only seven feet tall and looked really tiny in my post and beam living room with super high ceilings!  My new tree is twelve feet tall! And
