Morning my friends! It is hot ,hot hot here! It is already 87 with a heat index of 109 and the relative humidity is 91% ! Yikes but it is unbearable to be outside for long.Please remember all of your pets and to give them cool water through out the day. It is also a good idea to remember our feathered friends and to place pans of water out for them .
I know that it has been a while since I last posted and I apologize for it.I have spent much of the last two weeks in bed with strep throat and I guess what is the flu.I am stubborn and did not go to the doctor but I think sometimes our bodies need to be able to fight off infections on it's own. I have a lot of reactions to medications and that is the other reason I did not seek the doctor.
One of the things that make me smile are firkins .There are not many actual old firkins in my collection but lots of redos which id fine by me .Back in the day they were all about making do with what they had available . Why should it be any different for me? Here are a couple of ones that I found a while back and I thought I'd share their makeovers.
I love doing makeovers and giving things a new look. I have more that I will share at a later time.Please be safe out in the heat and take care of yourselves.I am off to try and catch up on all that I have missed.Big hugs and blessings,Jen

Jen ... I was wondering where you were! So sorry you weren't feeling well : ( I understand your thoughts about letting our bodies heal themselves sometimes. My husband also has bad reactions to most medicines. He avoids even taking a Tylenol unless he absolutely has to. One Tylenol will cure him of a headache within 5 minutes. I'm just the opposite ... I need more of whatever it is for it to work on me. I take 3 Tylenol & maybe half an hour later it will ease up. Glad you are feeling better! Blessings, Shirlee
Jen, Love your make over on your firkins. Never thought about a redo on them. I can't find good ones around here but do see newer ones ocassionly. will have to be on the look out for some. Sorry to hear you were sick, hoping you are on the mend now. Take care and have a great day.

Good to see you are back in the running. Sorry to hear you were ill.
Those cookie buckets are the best replacements for firkins. I call mine 'faux firkins'! lol
Gotta love them though. Someday, someone will call them antiques! And we created them!!!

Nobody does a redo like you do Jen dear!! Those are great!! Unfortunately, you can't even find those kinds of firkins in these parts!! Love 'em. Hope you're on the road to better....nothing worse than feeling like that in weather like THAT!! We've had a severe case of the muggies too, but today was cooler and less humid. Tomorrow is supposed to be hot and sticky again, but then back to the upper 70's.... Time to find my hoodie!! Wishing you cool breezes...Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin
