Stick em Up Y'all

 Yes I am talking to you.


  Just kidding belt buckle guns dont work.

 You wanna see something funny?

Are you ready?
Me doing a a Mr Bean doing a Line dancing impersonation

 Well that plum wore me out!!
As you can see I   kinda  went  country/loco today  
  Coz I have something to share

No not these awesome dinky-di leather  chaps its something else 
 Its a song I wrote the lyrics for a few years back.

 Now if your not a  country music lover ( i'll still love ya just wont like you much,kidding)  you may want to run for them thar hills now.
But if  you've got a cats curiosity (like me)  just click the play button.

Id be mighty obliged if you  listened along may give you a good old country hootin tootin  belly laugh.
It was put to music and sung by Derek McCorkell who also put it on a demo CD and played it on his radio station in the good ole U.S of A for awhile.
Look I even have that cowboy paunch going on (Note to self do some situps lol)

 Now if this dang flea bitten music thingamabob dont wanna do whats its been trained to do  just go to the right of your screen (above Little Ole me) and click on that instead.Edit- the music player is slow to start so click the triangle thingy and be patient It worked for me when I logged out and when I logged into a friends account as well Its just really sloooowwwww  xx



Now if it is still being a pain in your cowboy boots the lovely Em from Vintage Sweetheart found it online for me HERE now that should work!!

The words for the song are below in case you want to follow along.If you do follow along you will see where some changes have been made during the music adding and singing process.

"Thats all I Said"*
Chorus
Got my Sanity back but lost my house.
Kept the big old dog but not the  spouse.
Left the bills in the bedroom where my marriiage went dead,

 see you later was all I said.

BUT

Its all good now, I can relax
I finally got rid of that old battleax.
I got no-one cussing coz those chores aint done

I can now go out and have all sorts of fun
I can go out and live my life
get the fishing rod out and fish all nite
I got no one to answer to no whining to hear

dont have to answer her with "whats that dear?"

*Got my Sanity back but lost my house.
I Kept the dog but not the spouse.
Left the bills in the bedroom where my marriage went dead,
I can see now she wasnt right in the head
Its all good now i got no more strife
and i aint ever getting another dang wife
Got me dog in the ute and im living my dreams

 found out marriage aint all what it seems
So here i go and wish me luck
i gunna leave this town with my old trusty truck
She can have the house and all the bills  too
I'm glad I am leaving that old whiney shrew


*Got my Sanity back but lost my house.

Kept the dog but not the spouse.
Left the bills in the bedroom where my marriage went dead,
I stayed way too long I was living in dread


((go on guys do some dancing here you know you want to))

Got my Sanity back but lost my house.
Kept the big old dog but not the  spouse.
Left the bills in the bedroom where my marriage went dead,

I stayed way too long I was living in dread

Got my Sanity back but lost my house.
Kept the big old dog but not the  spouse.
Left the bills in the bedroom where my marriage went dead,
and see you later was all I said.

My finds of the week

Flood waters have receded and the clean up is well on the way.I found out my fav opshop lost everything so will be awhile before they get going again.Be nice to see their new stock tho and will be there with bells on when it reopens.

Has been a good week for opshopping so far Id be there every day if it wasnt such a drive into town and most of the ladies know me now they know I am an addict and what I am looking for so will often tell me if something I would like comes in.Below are the main items.
1st I found these chaps made from leather/suede with heavy duty metal zipper on each leg and in great condition year made? not sure but perfect for my fancy dress collection.I have also always had a thing for cowboy/girl gear and adore cowboy boots and OK cowboys too lol Found kids cowboy outfit awhile back will be on my YouTube channel as soon as I can so keep an eye out there.

Then at same shop was this butterfly top which I think is done on silk and I think is from the 80s the blue sequins have some colour has rubbed off but still very cute.

This cute tea set I will use in my hireing business eventually,.They are made in Australia and were only $2 the lot 8 cups and 8 saucers.


These odd bods came to $3.50 all up I love vintage crochet bonnets and bootees reminds me of what I dressed my girls in as babies.I have a few peices like this packed away.The little salt shaker looks art Deco and was 50c made in England.Just liked it and no other reason for buying it.


Todays finds were these boxes which I will eventually paint again and use for all my crafty bits and tho ugly were nice and cheap.

and last but most exciting was my 2 vintage hats.40s/50s? So cute.



Speaking of hats I am in the process of making an Edwardian hat using a mans straw hat check out my craft blog for that.

I also went to the Lavender shop for lavender so I can make some sachets as after all the rain things are smelling a tad musty.
Well thats it hope you enjoyed I shall be back soon in the meantime Happy hunting and please comment I would love that.
