So glad you stopped by today - grab a cup of my new favorite coffee, Hazelnut....it's so good, and I'll show you what's been goin on around here -<br />
<br />
I've been working on my on line shop - I'm adding pages of...Chandeliers, Kid's Lights, Lamps, Beach Shop, etc... hope you check it out when it's ready -<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Bought this old stainless restaurant prep table at a garage sale recently, and a few blocks later I found this huge wood and metal bottle rack. I moved the cabinet that was on this wall - stuck this table in its place, hung the wine rack (no bottles yet because it's still teetering on 2 little nails) and I think I like the change a whole lot.<br />
<br />
Stacked the big old white porcelain cooking and serving pieces on an old wire rack right next to it - I use these all the time and they're not easy for me to store, so this works - <br />
<br />

I've missed you. Think about you all the time. <br />
<br />
My life is now out of Rehab and I'm Living It. I like it. I miss my kids living here, their voices around me, their skateboards and surfboards, purses and shoes, forts on Sunday mornings and all the chaos and love you can imagine. I even miss their laundry...the done Laundry. <br />
<br />
So, I live for having them here on the weekends to cook, eat, walk and play, and I've really been enjoying doing some table foofing for them using newly found treasures -<br />
<br />
And when they leave, Mr BH and I enjoy cleaning up and talking about them...<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Hello you guys -<br />
<br />
Hope you are all enjoying the winter/holiday season. I love winter, I love cold weather, I love the bare tree branches and the leafless boston ivy on the weathered fence in the backyard. I love rain boots, and hoodies, umbrellas and big totes to carry it all in. <br />
<br />
Mid December and we have warm weather - actually it's hot. I shouldn't complain, it's great for my business at the Rose Bowl Flea Market, and it's great to go garage saleing every Saturday morning, but still I hope we get some cold days so we can break out the boots and jackets.<br />
<br />
We had a great day at the Flea Market yesterday - meeting people, talking, selling my thrifty finds, talking about treasures and decorating and styling, and what other people have in their carts as they stop and roll and stop and roll. Mostly we love showing our Chandeliers - MrBH says that I love a compliment as much as a sale, not quite - but almost!<br />
<br />
I'm taking photos of Chandeliers today, some that already sold, but I gotta show you what a man passionate about creating Chandeliers can come up with. <br />
<br />
For many reasons, we're doing a low key holiday this year - I made a donation to every request for Missions and Holiday Meals we got in the mail, I'm taking Gift Certs to the Dog Rescue places in my area, I give a dollar to every cause at every grocery checkout and I put money into the Salvation Army Santa everytime I pass him. Always a few bucks to the homeless and hungry at the freeway ramp or wherever, it's small, but it's what I do. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I went gathering up in my own stuff, stash, and traveling shop to come up with a few things white, wintery, and sparkly. No big gifts for the kids this year either - each got a hoodie, they already have every <i>i-thing</i> invented and I've asked them to donate this year too - so we've donated as a family and we all like that very much.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">We had a small Chanuka dinner last Sunday, and even though we try to have dinner together every Sunday, I tried to special it up a bit. We had our favorite Cranberry Chicken, potatoe pancakes, applesauce, lemon brocolli, a bottle of wine and a Challah that we all pulled from. Apple Betty for desert with vanilla ice cream. My son Tony brought a new girlfriend and I was glad that Jen & Ryan could meet her, get to know her, and like her as much as we do. We'll keep our fingers crossed...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

The Chuppa is my Grandma's Tablecloth - we had bamboo poles in old french buckets, topped them with chandelier bobeches and an old glass doorknob. I beaded 5 long strands of white beads and crystals for each bobeche and old very long crystals from my other Grandmas Chandelier. My brother performed the marriage ceremony - which was really special for all of us and so heartfelt - plus he was really funny and made the entire ceremony more memorable than you can imagine. <br />

</div><br />
Here's what all the Centerpieces looked like for a week before the wedding - it was like living on an orchid farm and little by little all of our regular everyday stuff got stashed making room for everything wedding. <br />
<br />
Two days before the wedding we filled the containers with sand so you couldn't see the pots insisde at all - during our 'Morning After' Brunch we emptied the sand cuz I think the sand was suffocating the orchids. Bought the orchids at the Farmers Market and they were gorgeous!<br />
<br />
We had so much fun making these - a few months before the wedding I started to buy up all the glass containers at the Thrifts and we decorated them. They cost me like 2.99 a piece. We wrapped them in twine (got a huge bolt at a garage sale for a buck) then we lined the twine wrap with rhinestone trim, and added vintage rhinestone jewelry and shells to each side. I've been collecting vintage rhinestone jewels for as long as i can remember - brooches, necklaces, earrings, shoe clips, sweater connectors, bracelets, and buttons, and didn't know it, but this was what I was saving them for....<br />
<br />
Started off with this mess - bringing all the little drawers out to the table to figure out exactly what to do!<br />

<br />
I'm just diving in because you gotta start somewhere...</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"> I've lurked around your blogs during the wedding prep mostly checking in in the middle of the night when many times I awoke in a panic and had to look through stacks of papers to make sure I had paid some bill or turned the sprinkler off in the back. I couldn't shake the feeling that I was forgetting something - all the time.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Jen's Beach Wedding was perfect, I'm a happy Mom and I love Ryan very much - this couple got it right. We planned and prepped the Wedding and at the same time spruced up this old place on a $0 budget and had the biggest blast of our lives. We did it all at the same time, that's how we roll better under pressure I guess - no time for being confused, disappointed, or pissed at anything including how much things cost.</div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">I left you at sending out the Invitations about 8 weeks before the wedding. We shifted into high gear and of course I got some orders for Chandeliers and sold some furniture so I had to continue to take care of biz and while biz has been slow - it picked up - wouldn't ya know it, and we needed the $$$, so late into the night I was beading Chandies, and mr.bh was in his studio wiring em up. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">Once biz was under control, I started with painting the little bathroom. The vanity countertop was ugly yellowish marble that I painted about 13 years ago and it needed a freshening up too. The floor was green stone tiles with cement grout and I decided to paint it all gray. I was unsure how but determined - and figured if paint didn't work - I'd get a rug.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

Now that I'm looking at these pics I'm thinking I should add a little color on the raised panels of the vanity doors - yeah? Hmmm.<br />

<br />
Welcome to my Beach House Bath. One of my favorite bloggers, Sarah over at <a href="http://.abeachcottage.com/my_weblog/">a beach cottage</a>, was blogging about painting bathroom tiles and asked for comments if you've tried this before - I've taken the plunge - many times.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Here's my bathroom now after a complete makeover on a tight budget a few years ago. No before photos - but it was built in the 1940's so you can imagine it was really tired. The tiles in the shower and on the countertop were peachy/pink with grey trim and we painted them white - you cannot tell that they are not original white tiles. They are in perfect condition, they clean up with Windex, and they look just as new and fresh as real white tiles look. I swear, you cannot tell. Even in the shower, they're new and fresh every single day. EVERYONE is shocked when I tell them they're painted.</div><div><br />

Right after we got married we went to Lake Tahoe, where we did some antiquing and junking. Mr bh found these really old linen closet markers that are etched on mirror backing and we bought them for our "home we would one day have." I was impressed that he appreciated details like that. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

Our little bathroom had a horrible yellowish/greenish marble counter top that I also painted. It's been 15 years, and just recently I saw a few chips, decided I should probably redo it, but I haven't yet. It's not THAT bad. That was before they made special paint for this so I used epoxy appliance paint. It worked.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Good Morning - This old wire rack basket with the aqua canning jars was my reward for a successful date with the taxman, oh yeah the taxman. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I get so ridiculously nervous as tax day approaches, hoping and praying that I have paid attention to every detail, penny, receipt, check, note, and bill to come up with numbers that I present to the taxman. And my taxman wants everything in the computer, so that's just hugely time consuming for me, and I don't do it often enough, so it piles up and I do it all in one month. <b><i>Every year I promise I won't do that anymore, but every year I do the same thing. </i></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><i>Now, I'd rather do this.</i></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><i><br />
</i></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> So when it's all done and the taxman leaves, I leave. I hit the thrifts like a bat outta hell because I have at that point not shopped guilt free for a while. Always thinking, "I should be at home doing paperwork and taxes" can wreck a perfectly good stop in. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So I hit my favorite junk shop - and there were these jars in the rack with a few more on the side, just waiting for me to knock down everyone standing in my way to get them without making myself too obvious or someone closer just may nab em first. They were mine and they came home with me.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The next day I went down to the Farmer's Market and couldn't resist these pure pure white iris's - in these jars on the dining room table with the light hitting them through the blinds first thing in the morning - it just all feels so good. This is what I see across the house when I leave my bedroom first thing every morning - </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC-QHBjahoB9cBgWt_qlARBpq7N1r5_UfA-NF-muSN3te1VT60LfLzrQMvsHzF8etTdiLuHCuwNJTLlxRwBzE5iewdwxiIqZPc2xf6q_hu8VcINgYwQnSWE3K-Ta3SXF2BYMqu3QzJAvn7/s1600/BOTTFULLL.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">While I was loving looking at the photos of this aqua turquoise beachy blue glass, I was noticing <i>something bothering me. </i>Yeah, I'm tired of the dining room chairs. I've loved these chairs from the moment I spotted them at Sally's - a big wood table with 6 chairs and 2 arm chairs with the little wings that I loved, they were white with french caning, the whole thing was perfect. I paid $250, covered the seats with white denim - done. There's a photo of the dining room on the right side of this page - and you can kind of see the chairs in the background -</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">But now, I'm ready for a change - so I dragged in all the old folding wood beach chairs that I've picked up at garage sales, flea markets and thirfts, and set 8 chairs around the table. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i>Loved it. </i>I like the look with 8 chairs and I like it with only 6 too - and the beauty is that they're folding chairs - easy to store a few extra, and I don't think I've paid more than 10 bucks a chair.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

It ain't cheap. Nothing is. Even if you do it yourself on the computer you've got to buy the cardstock and the ink or toner, the envelopes etc. or pay Kinkos to print each side, including return addresses. No matter how you look at it, it's going to cost - so for us, after we went round and round, pricing out DIY and going to 4 different stationers and through probably 100 books, we found this one that we loved and went with it. We were thrilled when we got them, and I figured we were VERY lucky to find something we loved for not that much more. No printer jams no ink problems, just order, pay and receive. <i>For me, A Bargain -</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Jen's Beach Wedding - 86 days to go. There's something to do every single day - we're getting very excited around here, very busy finalizing all the arrangements and adding lots of details that I am going to share with you -<br />
<br />
So to catch up, last Saturday some friends and I threw a Bridal Shower at Zen Bistro for our friends' daughter Stephanie, and it was - as the girls said UH-mazing. We were Ladies lunching with Champagne on the Lake - and I got reminded how we actually become a different person when we put on our party manners and a new outfit.<br />
<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">A few month ago I sold the Chandelier in my hallway - we lived with a light bulb hanging on a wire out of the ceiling - kind of like the shoemakers kids going without shoes. Mr Chandy over here loves to create the chandeliers and he growls like a mean dog when he hangs one, so I have to time changes very carefully. I've been waiting for this beaded shade { no light }to become a Chandelier since I found it at a Consignment Store around Christmas, and last week I just about fell off my chair.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> When you look up at it there's a mirror that reflects all the crystal beading and 3 bulbs, and it is amazing. I love and appreciate beading so much, and <i>I am a beader</i>, so this is home in my hallway, for now. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Her brief life powerfully reminds me to value life everyday. <br />

While I was taking some of these photos yesterday, I was down on the floor and when I turned around I was face to face with this old 7-Up box on the fireplace. It is stuffed with 2009 files and paperwork and now overflowing into another pile next to it. I've got to do my taxes and get rid of this already, and I don't even mean really DO them, I mean organize the paperwork for the accountant to really DO them. Starting Monday morning for sure. Really, I figured out that's the only way to make the pressure go away.<br />

Anyway Mr Beachy has been spending alot of time working in his studio lately and called me to come out and look at a few Chandeliers in progress.<br />
<br />
These two were done and I was blown away - I think they are both amazing.<br />
<br />
My girlfriend {thanks, Lor } found this beautiful iron aqua/turquoise piece as you see it, all beat up and loved, out at the Flea Market a few months ago, and now it's a Chandelier. We rarely find pieces with great color but this one was just too cool to paint. I love the beachy coastal feel and the total uniqueness of the Chandelier. <br />
<br />
So we brought it in, I beaded it with thick french scalloped crystals and huge old crystal pendants at the bottom. I love it.<br />

I. Am. Beading Chandeliers and planning Jen's Beach Wedding. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"> I've been on a crazy little ride here, ups and downs and sometimes just running around in circles. Jen's wedding is coming along - it's June 26th and we're getting excited and nervous all at the same time. My girlfriend's daughter is getting married May 1st, so I'm in on a shower for her next month and my girlfriend is giving a shower for Jen, so together we are shopping, brainstorming, and having the time of our lives. You think you know exactly what you want but when you start checking stuff out and seeing what's available it gets confusing because there's so many choices and such great things out there. Doing our best to copy expensive champagne ideas on a beer budget as they say.<br />
<br />
It ain't easy doing everything you want to do on a budget, and I found out early on - when you wake up in the middle of the night, no use trying to get back to sleep - once you're up, you're up.<br />
<br />
For me, I find the best time to go over this stuff with Mr. Father of the Bride is while we're by our favorite Beach Cafe drinking Tea from a Starbucks thermos and he eats a doughnut or a white Hostess snowball and I eat celery sticks.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

We've been working day and night in our Chandelier Studio, which keeps us sane. For years we've been renting lighting to studios for movies TV and commercials and have recently included renting Chandeliers for weddings, events, and private parties. We're still selling out at the Ventura Flea Market at the beach - and still love it. We're staying busy trying to produce as many Chandeliers as we can, this is our passion, and we love it just wish we had more hours in the day and more energy. <br />
<br />
Seems like revolving doors around here - someone's always taking a look - and thankfully business is good. Got a chance to snap a few photos - if you want to take a closer look check us out on ebay - id is chandeliermagic. Come back over the weekend - I'm going to photograph a few vintage Beach House Chandeliers that are major heart throbs...<br />

So - I've been visiting blogs as much as I can lately, mostly just lurking about - you guys still blow me away with your entertaining writing, great photos, and amazing creative ideas.<br />
<br />
I'll show you the wedding invitations as soon as I get em...and a few other special things Jen and I are doing to make the day perfect. <br />
<br />
Decided today! Guys will wear khaki linen pants, white tuxedo shirts not tucked in, and black leather flip flops. Down on the beach we're having personalized bottles of water and flip flops at the Shoe Bar. <br />
<br />
Wish you could all be our guests...<br />

Here's what I get...if you want to change your mood - <i>go out for a while. </i><br />
<br />
Check out this Leopard Limo -<br />

We took my sister-in-law from Arizona around looking at Beverly Hills and Hollywood holiday decorations last weekend - even though we were all born here it's still fun to see what's going on. Mr Beach and I take rides and day trips all the time checking out different towns and beaches, or checking out landscapes { to copy } so we're into it, and my sister in law misses it.<br />
<br />
Not many decorated mansions at all - but the ones that were....were beyond belief. Night photos didn't come out and I couldn't fit the big houses in my camera frame - but I hope you enjoy what I did get...<br />
<br />
Here's the bronze statue guard in front of a mansion on Sunset Blvd.<br />

Movin on - this house is the Witch House, supposedly used in movies and then moved to this corner. Looks like they're renovating now, probably preserving it for the historical society. This whole area is on the tours - you know, like the one Lucy and Ethel took. <br />

This went right down the center of my Dining Room Table and I enjoyed it every time I walked by. </i><br />

<i>We light the candles every night for 8 nights, we eat potatoe pancakes non stop, they're our appetizers and we serve them with applesauce, strawberries, cranberries, powdered sugar, apricot marmalade, and whatever else we can think of. Maybe we'll try Nutella and cool whip this year, hmmm. They are so good and they are gone so fast. Sometimes the guys help out peeling and rubbing the potatoes and onions on a graph like grater the old fashioned way, or they stand and flip pancakes for a while and we all talk - I love that. It's a messy job { especially with guys flipping }so I line the entire top of my stove with foil because the pans of splattering oil quickly get out of control, and the cleanup is - well you can imagine. </i><br />

<span style="font-style: italic;">This year, I'm doing everything on a tight budget of $0 - we'll be dipping pretzels and dried fruit in chocolate for gifts, decorating canning jars of tea lights, and a few other things. I will be dropping off dog food at a few local rescues as often as I can - I've been told they give the food away to people who can't afford to feed their dogs - and then they won't have to give their pets up.</span><br />

</div>Today I jumped out of the tornado I've been caught in. That's never happened to me before - I forgot to be happy, I forgot to be thankful, I forgot to be busy, I forgot to pay attention to blogging and working and I really forgot that I'm letting go, I got stuck. I'll tell you later what I'm letting go of.<br />
<br />
So I got up today, went for a hike, and now I'm gonna get it together. <br />
<br />
A few weeks ago it started, my family and I dropped everything and went to Arizona for a week to be with my Dad - he's got cancer and is hanging on - my uncle says he gets happy when we're there. Next week he's coming here for a visit to the beach -<br />

</div>Ello!<br />
Ya know how when you change one thing in a room, you're prompted to change the whole room? That's what happened to me a few weeks ago in the laundry room. I found a light fixture on the ground at the Rose Bowl Flea Market and couldn't wait to take down the old one and install the new one. There wasn't much to change in my really small laundry, but it inspired me to change other stuff in other rooms, so I did literally nonstop. <br />
<br />
Here's the old laundry chandelier pretty much the same as I found it about 10 years ago -<br />
<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So this change started some more rethinking around the house and I pretty much went thru every room and closet movin out all the things that are on my long list of things I walk by and say 'this has to go.' I try to remove things the first time I say that but I don't, I wait till <i>I absolutely can't stand it anymore, </i>why? I don't know.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Then I hit my stash in the storage, yard, and garage and I made <i><b>HUGE </b></i>decisions on everything I have been storing, hoarding, and saving to repair, paint, part out or whatever - and I decided to let go of tons - so we're loading up and letting go. That is big for me, really big. So here we go... all that plus the Chandeliers and lighting that we are creating today and love love love - <br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">That started a couple of weeks ago, and we've been working our buttinskys off everyday preparing, loading up the trailer and and we're almost completely ready - and it feels so good. I've been on a thrifting shopping spree for so many years now that my style has somewhat changed and all the GREAT stuff I won't be using anymore is going to the Flea Market on the beach this Sunday.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">As you can imagine we're beat up, I messed up my shoulder lifting things I shouldn't have, like cement statues and pots { dummy me } and I've been popping pain pills because I just didn't want to stop.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">We're almost done and ready to go - Sunday 4 am.<br />

<br />
Whooooo - I am havin a real<span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"> </span>hard time getting into the swing of things this Monday morn - I feel like we partied hard all weekend. You know, partied hard - where you stay awake much later than usual, talking and laughing hysterically over shooters and Mudslides and a few various other cocktails with two other people you love dearly.<br />
<br />
My brother and sister IL live in Palm Springs { a desert resort a couple of hours away } and they're downsizing so we had an all day garage sale Saturday, stayed up late partying hard and then did it again all day Sunday. <br />
<br />
Having a garage sale is a kind of partying too, chit chatting with hundreds of people, being in a good mood and entertaining them while you hope they just haul something away. You connect with your neighbors and get to know them - I think they feel it's much less invasive to hang out at someones home outside and so neighbors tend to stay and hang out. My sister IL and I can go in and out of deep personal conversations and then jump into small talk with other people with no problem, almost automatically. We're very talented that way, and we're always aware of where the husbands are, too. <br />
<br />
Anyhow, our 2-hour trip down there took about 5 hours cuz we shopped and thrifted our way there. I'm on the hunt for serving things for Showers and parties that are in the near future - and of course Jen's wedding. I got lucky at garage and estate sales - people are giving great deals to get rid of stuff, and make a few bucks as we get closer to the holidays. I do, however, really feel for the cottage shop owners who are all singing the blues in a big way and are on their last leg. More and more stores are closing the doors and some towns looked abandoned all together - it was weird and sad. <br />
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">I found the coffee pot first - in great condition along with the big ironstone platter, the bread box and the canvas bag at an estate sale and and got the rest at Goodwills and Salvations along the way. I'm sticking to enamelware, ironstone, white and silver serving pieces and old china.<br />

<span style="font-size: medium;">Good day this rain day -</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br class="webkit-block-placeholder" /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">The sound of rain on my bedroom window awning is the most welcome sound in my sleep. I was so happy to hear it at about 4 am, and when morning hit I got right up opened the front door and watched the rain from the porch with my Tea. I'm off coffee right now - so I'm drinking lots my old fave Constant Comment and my new fave Mango Chamomile. When it rains I can breathe and see much more clearly, and everything looks so much better wet and clean, even weeds. My grass was lovin it too - free water.</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">So when most say a rainy day gets them wanting to be all cozy with a good book and a fireplace fire - not me, I get energetic and gung ho. I love the big chill.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">This little house of mine is so 1940's California Cottage - we have a long driveway to a detached garage, so the garage is in the backyard and we have completely converted it to a working Studio for our Chandeliers - and that's where Mr Beachy works - about 20 steps from the back door. </span><br />
<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><span style="font-size: medium;">So while Mr B was out in the studio most of the day this is what I got accomplished today, and listed on ebay - this Flying Vintage Cherub made of white capiz shells -</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
</span><br />
<br />

</div><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">And this 2-Arm Vintage Beaded Sconce -</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitkpVr-J302lvdMfAIxtlECihwfpxGEPwaMcVOEmTz0B3WPaxc5Ydsd_s9OBhLsJlARBpjcg76VD7YOqsHVfPLsbPMhVrMqr7xeCq5se01zS9qjwtvyrNOUYz3P1b-HqVW-c4Aw500N2ue/s1600-h/SCONCL.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitkpVr-J302lvdMfAIxtlECihwfpxGEPwaMcVOEmTz0B3WPaxc5Ydsd_s9OBhLsJlARBpjcg76VD7YOqsHVfPLsbPMhVrMqr7xeCq5se01zS9qjwtvyrNOUYz3P1b-HqVW-c4Aw500N2ue/s400/SCONCL.jpg" /></a><br />
</div><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">Then I heard those dreaded words coming in the back door "What's for dinner?" Dinnertime has changed considerably around here since the kids moved out although I didn't much care for those words from them either. I don't know why, I just cringed even though I made dinner every night and emjoyed it, the chaos, the mess, everything about it - I just hated that question. It's </span><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size: medium;">so much easier </span></span><span style="font-size: medium;">now that it's just the two of us most of the time, once we had corn for dinner. Just corn.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">But tonite, it was Pizza on the coffee table in front of the TV. </span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">no planning </span><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">no fuss</span><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">no table setup </span><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">no mess</span><br />
</div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">I love Topanga Pizza.</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Hi -</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I've missed you - we've been so jam packed the last few weeks I got totally caught up in life and chaos - I was going to say a welcome change from my normal routine, but lately like for months now, nothing seems normal. <br />
</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">For weeks we had family in town for a wedding so we got to hang out and catch up with aunts uncles and cousins that we never get to see, and it was great. It was really hot, so we spent as much time at the beach as possible actually a lot of time walking back and forth and eating. As the lovely aunties get older they just love to talk about everyone - they've all been married to Mr Beachys family for over 50 years and boy do they have the scoop.<br />
</span></span><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Then, I was contacted by a blogger who found my blog and wanted to buy some chandeliers for her cafes up the coast - variations of this one, so I marathon beaded and crystaled and got the order out and she was happy so we were <i><b>thrilled.</b></i> This design is our signature style and my favorite so there's always at least one available -This ones available for sale now -<br />
</span><br />
</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So I spent some time trying to figure out how to make it easier to buy on the blog, got the 'buy it now' and 'paypal' banners just have to get them in the right place. In the meantime if you would like to buy something or inquire about something you see on my blog you can email me <a href="mailto:casualcharm@aol.com">here.</a></span></span><br />

</div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';">Then this computer started to act up - so it was off to the Apple store to spend a few hours with a genius at the bar - 3 times and it's still not right. I lost my email accounts, bookmarks, photos, records, data, and lots of other stuff that I don't even know about yet. Don't even get me started. You have no idea, well there's probably alot of you that have been in this mess. Would love to buy a new laptop, but instead I bought more ram and a stick. MmmHmm Who's stupid? It's a good $$$ decision - Jen's Beach Wedding is just around the corner approaching quickly. Very quickly.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 21px;">Last Friday night we took a sunset flight over the city, valley, beach & up the coast. It was unusually cloudy in some places - but even the tops of the clouds are spectacular from the sky. That's a small plane you say - yep, it is. Seats 4 and you're almost touching shoulders. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;">When my son Tony, was really young he started a lifelong fascination with airplanes, cars, and pretty much anything that moved him around. He knew going to the market with me meant he would be adding a sleek shiny new plane to his fleet and while I never knew one from the other or what he already had - he did, down to the color of the stripes and decals. He would flip through the packages like he knew what he was looking for and always found one that delighted him for the rest of shopping and the rest of the day. He always carried a little p</span><span style="font-size: small;">lane {race car in the other hand} around and he - he'd squint one eye and flew those little planes around looking thru the windshield at eye level and he was a happy kid. I knew one day he'd do it for real, and when he did I told him that when he turned one of his dreams into a reality - one of my </span><span style="font-size: small;">dreams came true too. I am so proud of him.</span><br />

I love it. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 21px;"><br />

My Grandma's crystal lamps are up there on the mantel with some things that I change out for the seasons. Hmmm the fireplace trim - I gotta do something about that - that trim has got to go. Maybe it could be painted? Why not?</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 21px;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The club chairs in the Living Room below are distressed brown leather - they're great but I Summer them up with some white throws just to change it up a bit. My favorite bit of advice I got from my favorite designer was to move something out the minute you walk by it saying "this has to go." Sometimes I walk past something for 6 months before I finally move it out. Do you do that? I need to work on it.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 21px;"><br />

Now I'm standing where there is a swing door to the kitchen so it's really easy to serve. The french doors open to an outdoor kitchen/BBQ area. It's all original cement and used brick with a bar serving area with a couple of stools and a cool old bench. Great for crowds and parties - another place to go for food which is great because thekitchenissotight.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 21px;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">This is probably my favorite Chandelier - Mr Beachy's design - it's mother of pearl squares to the ceiling, and the bottom is iron with metal flowers. It's over the top naturally weathered and aged - it was sitting outside on a deck in Paradise Cove for years when I scored it from a very nice guy who GAVE it to me. It's white and rusty and scruffy and probably the most commented on Chandelier in our house. Is it a compliment when people say "<span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">only you</span></span>" - it is to me.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 21px;"><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 21px;">My favorite flower right now is white carnations - they're always at the market and they're just a few bucks. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 21px;">The display stand in the corner is holding some old beaded lamps and hurricanes that I use for centerpieces with candles. There's glass shelves, it's got some tole roses vining through it and I think it's days are numbered around here. </span><br />
