So, SuperGuy and I had never watched all the Harry Potter movies. One of the cable stations had a marathon of them a few weeks ago, so I recorded the ones they had. We’ve had a great time watching them one after the other over a week or two period. Fun.
SuperGuy had read a few of the books, but never finished the series. I never really got into the books. So. We watched.
We ended up buying the last DVD-Deathly Hallows Part One (here it is, ever so artistically placed against the door 🙄 )…and will watch it soon…so DON’T SPOIL IT for me!! Then we’re going to hit the movie theatre for the final episode when it comes out.
Have you watched them all? Read the books? Know how it ends? (if so, please don’t spoil it here for anyone who doesn’t know the ending.) It was fun to see the kids age in the books (so quickly since we watched them over a week’s time span… 😆 )
Are you heading out to watch the final movie on July 15th? I ddoubt we’ll mess with the crowds on the 15th, but I’m sure we’ll get to it before the end of July.
Ah, I found this pen holder when we were out antiquing. I seriously heart it. A. Lot.
It holds the pen that SuperGuy gave me…okay, I lied. A big lie.
He didn’t actually give it to me…I stole it. Yep. I confess. I stole his Montblanc pen. Occasionally he tries to steal it back… :mad2:
The only thing I’m worried about with this lovely glass pen holder…is that my pen is always sitting out on my desk in plain sight now…I hope SuperGuy doesn’t get any ideas…
As an aside…I wonder if I sometimes go antiquing just to get cool, unusual pieces to photograph…
Ah, there was singing and dancing and happiness at The Love Nest this past week. Why, you ask?
You remember The Tragedy of the Milk Glass Lamp, right? Where I knocked over the lamp and broke the lamp shade? Tragedy, I tell you!
Then my subsequent hunt for a replacement shade and I settled on this one, shown above.
Imagine my joy and surprise (and a bit of hugging SuperGuy and clapping my hands and a bit of jig in the middle of the Antique store)…I found this!!
Yep, I found another lamp! The milk glass part of it matches my old lamp, but the stand is a bit different.
So now I have two lamps, if I want. Or I can put the top of the new lamp onto the old base (’cause I like the old base better) Ah, life is good, I’m telling you!! Color me happy. :heart:
(Found at The Brass Armadillo out of Kansas City. (Grain Valley) Huge antique mall, but very hard to find!)
