it’s the local hardware store.
i had to go there today.
i forgot how much i like
hardware stores.
they remind me of office
supply stores, and some of
you know how much i love
office supply stores!!!
in hardware stores i am so
tempted to buy things i
totally don’t need like:
flashlights
safety goggles (actually, everyone does need a
pair of these because…safety has no quitting time)
spray paint
toilet seats
rubber cement
power drills
tool belts (the cute ones of course)
bungie cords
the impulse buy items at the
register always crack me up:
goof off
gum
tide stick
batteries
electrical tape
miniature paint brushes
wood stain
that reminds me…
today in the mail/shipping
isle there were more rolls of
tape than i’ve ever seen in one
area. red, blue, green, pink,
masking, scotch, duct, electrical…
they had it all in every width and
every color. it was GREAT!! if
i had my camera i would have
taken a picture of it for you.
since my visit to city mill
i have this yearning for fresh
paint and a bag of nails.
i need to do a craft project
or fix or build something!!
you know who hardware stores
remind me of ??
my daddy!!
it makes sense now…
that’s why i love them so much!
the guys in coveralls with big
hands who know everything and
can fix anything.
mom, you know your way
around a hardware store too!!
