Vacation Finds

We were gone for 10 days to Quartzsite for the RV show.  There is shopping galore and I found some fun things.  I got a pair of wire chickens to put a pot in that stand almost 2' tall they were black with red combs and waddles and will be spray painted so their beaks and feet are orange/yellow and the bodies will be white.  I'll post a photo later when I get them painted.  I also found this cool doorknocker that we are going to mount on my front door.


Next while there we ran down to Yuma, it is 80 miles from QZ and we usually hit up Joann's, Sam's Club, a few places, have lunch, and head back stopping at a Veggie/Fruit stand on the way back where I stock up on grapefruit since they are $2 a bag instead of $6 a bag.  Well, after reading all the chicken coop stuff on BackYardChickens everyone talks about the Habitat for Humanity Re-Stores and I found one there so we went to check it out.  It was a blast to walk around in to see stuff, but I was looking for smallish windows to use on the front of the little coopo.  I had just about given up after looking at doors, windows, lights, ceiling fans and more...  when cupboard doors came along.  I found a pair of cute doors with glass in them and they will work perfectly on the coop, or at least I think so.  The back wall and side walls are going to be solid and the front will have framing for the doors with screen behind and I can open all to clean out.  Theoretically, at least in my head, my husband has offered to help. :)  But, I'm not letting him do it all, I want to do it and Stephanie and I had been enjoying the project before we went on vacation.  So, here is a photo of them as is...
