Verse me your Sustenance



The sustenance of life
your life, ours
given one time around
what's your plight, desire

lend to me yours
as I shall mine

hold back not
to me your devine

the sustenance of life
be it yours or mine
lend to oneanother
yet not be defined

Lend me your verse
and I'll lend you mine

Tickle Your Fancy, Charm Your Heart


This month's featured seller is an Etsy pal and another fellow member of team Vintage Vertigo.  She joined Etsy October of 2011 and has not looked back.  If you've met and/or read her "About" page, you'll find she has a passion like us for all that is vintage.  In reading said page I found myself thinking the same in which my home as a child was filled with antiquities, vintagicities, and how too my parents cruised the fleamarkets, 2nd hand, and thrift stores in hopes to find something special.  Here with no further ado, I'd like to introduce to you...

The End Is Near


Finally....

A close-up of our little 1940's bungalow a year after we moved in...

Then

and now.

The new roof was installed last month.

Here's are a couple shots of the kitchen my wife and I designed and installed.  A view of the veranda deck just outside the french doors.






A shot of the small but comfy informal dining area and breakfast bar.

This was the old 6' x 9' kitchen that was converted into the...


washroom.


Last, but not least I will finish the inside of the enclosed porch.

The end is near!
