Moss Rocks! ~

I'm a little late in finding these cool things called Moss Rocks.  I don't shop Target and WalMart like I used to.  I used to go to Target and spend $100 on "stuff."  "Stuff" I didn't really need, but wanted.  Well, since becoming a junk dealer, everything I buy has to fit into 3 areas. If I can't eat it, sell it, or paint it, I don't buy it. Of course there are exceptions to those rules, but it's amazing what you can live without or find at a yard sale or thrift shop.  

Well, tonight I needed to buy white paint. Out of all the paint I have, I didn't have any white. I have a ton of OOPS paint, but they are OOPS paint for a reason; bad tint job.  WalMart here we come. I used a sample of Glidden paint and I really liked it, so I bought a gallon of Pebble White. $28! I about choked. I hate paying retail for anything! But I needed it for a HUMONGOUS piece I'm painting in the morning. 

Long story short, I found Moss Rocks.  I had seen them on some blogs, but never found any.




Crap pictures, but cool rocks. 
I put them in an Ironstone bowl I found last weekend for $3.00! 

This is why I bought paint; I'm using an electric paint sprayer to paint this tomorrow: 


It's 69" long and HUGE and heavy. It has a top hutch portion also that I forgot to take a picture of. 
This violated one of my rules. If it's too big to handle on your own, let it go.  Well, It took 2 trips to pick it up. The bottom portion fit in my Expedition. But the top portion was too big and I had to borrow a pick up. 
Rules are meant to be broken, right?
