Mirror, mirror on the wall?

There is something about yardsale which makes me giddy. Aside from finding a real bargain, just being there and looking at things relaxes me in a very odd way. Frankly speaking I would prefer to make the rounds in yardsale than go shopping. Hmmm...very odd indeed!

In the last yardsale of the season I had my eye on this mirror. Yes, it was a mirror. Until it fell and broke into two pieces. Just now(sat. afternoon)It's really so upsetting because after weeks of waiting for my hubby to drill a hole in the wall, he finally did it!

To make the story short, I have tried to tie a string on the mirror and eventually hang it for my height but then...boom!

Just some words of advice:

  • never ever talk to someone on the phone while your husband is mounting your precious mirror on the wall.
  • be alert on what the guy's doing.
  • if it's just a "forehead higher" leave the mirror alone!
  • sulking will not bring back your 12sf so smile and remember that another yardsale is coming soon!

Well, try using it as a picture frame. That way, it will still serve its purpose. :)

And yeah, you're right, "if it's just a forehead high, let it be ;)"

Enjoy the next yardsale.

Our mid-week get away in Dijon

Dijon, one of the cities in France, was the destination of our mid-week get away. The city,which is well known for its mustard,is a 3-hour train ride from Genève via Lausanne. As I've mentioned in my previous post ,this was my first time to visit the city. We arrived mid-day to a gloomy surrounding and headed to Quick, sort of Jollibee here. Yet,the real treat was in the old town. Walking on the paved street for me was like being transported to another era. Aside from Musée des Beaux-Arts Dijon, we were able to visit Cathédrale de Saint Bénigne and the Notre Dame de Dijon. However,due to time constraint we were not able to visit other places. Our evening meal was in Le Théâtre des Sens, a small but cozy restaurant and where I've tried escargot. Yes, I did and blame it on the kir! Our dinner was really good,the waiter was very cheery and accomodating. We stayed at the Hotel Des Ducs where we spent the rest of the night watching crime scene investigation. Ah! the joy of havin...
