What have you bought recently?

[hearlady]

Some Rustoleum spray on rust remover. I'm hoping it will work on some areas of an old shed.

Some blue paint. Time to paint the bathroom a better shade of blue. (bought some to try to match the counter). Picture doesn't capture the true wall color. (has a tinge of greenish to it).

Next, question for the experts here. I need to re-paint the small bedroom. It's a hideous color right now, (beats me what you'd call it), and I see it's bleeding something through.
Question is, what color, (colour for you over the pond folks) would you think would be nice?

depends if the room gets a lot of light.... or not... if the former then you can get away with any colour...if not much light then concentrate on much lighter colours... a shade of yellow.. or beige... apparently blues and greens are not condusive to restful sleep.. nor colours like red ... . You could make a feature wall out of a vibrant colour and paint the other walls in a muted colour, however... ...

For example I have lime green in my small office room..on just one wall.... and the other walls are snow white... so altho' the room is tiny it' gives it an illusion of space

Absolutely agree about how handy they are for vacuuming the car.

Visited Clarence at the "party store" and got two half price plants, a blanket flower and a diamond frost. They only came to less than $10. Yay. They're already planted, course.

I just bought a bunch of clothes and vitamins from the US. The mail here is pretty much nonexistent so I send my order by a shipping contractor in Miami, who uses an excellent shipper who always arrives on time. And I can track them online. Where I live in Ecuador, it doesn't have much for casual clothes except like workout or running clothing and almost no vitamins. There are other things as well I've had to order.I also buy books fro my kindle app on my phone. So yes, I bought recently and I shop online.

Three ice cream cones. Two single scoop in a waffle cone and one single in child size cone. $19. Mine was the little one - salted caramel. It was delicious.

I am pleased with the new color in the bathroom. More importantly, wife is pleased also. So much brighter and no longer drab.

I'm an avid gardener and this morning I bought all my bedding plants for my 6 long troughs and several small plants to be repotted for the greenhouse. Cost me over £100 Dobbies is getting far too expensive for my liking.
