Great deal!

Can anyone recognize what Danny is proudly carting under his arm?  ...

It's an original Hudson Bay wool blanket!  We found it at a vintage furniture store in Logan Square, Reform Objects, which I've been wanting to stop in at since we've moved but never had the chance.  The price was significatly reduced due to a couple small holes in the very center (the cream part), so I have plans to make a number of pillows for our bed with the remaining fabric.  YEAA!

Announcing, the Trivia Newton Johns!

   

Last weekend we tried our hardest to win at a trivia night fundraiser, but our efforts were more focused on the "Best Theme" category... and we didn't quite take the prize :(  I thought we made a good effort though; we made our costumes/props in one day, and the headlights even worked!!

Oh well, it was fun anyways, and of course it was nice to be in good old Plainfield in support of a local foundation; Thomas Marciniek Memorial Foundation.

 

63' VW Update

Well, Danny's VW restoration project is moving along, but lately it's been appearing to move in the worng direction.  This weekend he removed ALL of the fenders and doors!  He is sending them out to be painted.  Very exciting!!  We will be riding around in this in no time!
