As you know, I LOVE everything to do with the Beatles' YELLOW SUBMARINE!!! After finding an unfinished table at a local thrift store I knew what I had to do - paint my own Yellow Submarine table!! I used the colours: lime green, purple, yellow, red & black. I LOVE IT!!!!!

Now, I was introduced to the fabulous website PINTEREST - it is Heaven!!!!! All the wonderful pictures & ideas. I was so inspired by the following:
I was looking through photos one day and came across a sign someone had painted that stated something about Dog's Nose Art. We don't own any dogs, but we do own SIX cats, so I turned to my husband and said I HAVE to paint my own sign. I located a piece of wood that I had downstairs, again something from a thrift store years ago and couldn't figure out what to paint on it and after seeing the Dog's Nose Art sign, I knew what to paint on it. Again, I have to use funky colours and paint. So here is what I painted. :o)

And again, searching through Pinterest this morning looking for an idea to hang necklaces. I liked the ideas they had for using picture frames, but I own A LOT of necklaces. Over the years I have bought, been given as gifts and inherited some gorgeous necklaces, so the picture frame idea was out. Then it popped into my head - I have a gorgeous rustic ladder I purchased at a yard sale a few years back at my aunt's house. I fell in love with it when I saw it and decided to place it out on our front porch. I brought it in and started placing the necklaces on it. LOOKS AWESOME!! Yaaaa, my own Pinterest Idea!!!

The Fab Four Meet Up Together & Awesome Finds for me at Value Village
Well, here you have it, the Fab Four together once again and in my "standing room". Yep, Bob and I have a standing room in our house. He calls it that because we don't have any furniture in it. It actually has come in VERY hand that way. We had extra room to place another table of 6 for Christmas Dinner and on New Years Eve we had a party and people brought their blow-up beds and it was an extra room for that.
I still have to varnish them. Ringo is done, George needs one more coat, Paul two and John three. I'm pretty impressed.
Next I want to brag about some fab finds at Value Village. I can hardly wait until it gets warmed out for me to wear the shirts.


I also found this (I took a photo of the front and back)
