Sabi Saturday Week 8, X is for xenodocheionology

Sabi Saturday Linkup Week 8

So the Sabi Saturday blog hop is open for the whole week where we share. Add your link up at the bottom of the post.

• the vintage/antique items handed down or we “rescue” from garage sales and thrift stores so they don’t end up in a trash bin
• items we’ve upcycled instead of throwing them away
• items we’ve repaired in a transformative way to make them more beautiful or cooler than before
• process or tutorials on how we upcycled or repaired something to make something new, more beautiful, or cooler
• the main idea is showing how we treasure or reuse or creatively transform things that have some history to them, may be a bit worn but nevertheless are still useful/beautiful and often have character.

Sabi Saturday Linkup Week 7 Roundup

First the roundup:

15 and Meowing shared a skunk stuffed animal she was given a child. Her cat is not amused, lol.

Cactus Catz shared some things she rescued from California thrift stores from the perfect size carry-on to a autographed Top Chef The Cookbook.

This week’s Sabi Saturday contribution

Today I’m sharing two things that are very different from each other.

Jhoanna creates coffee briquets

When people follow me, I always check out their blog so when Jhoanna Mae of stepdaily started following me, I did just that.  She’s a new blogger with just a few posts but there was this really cool one called Day 4: Create.  She and a friend mixed sawdust and used coffee grounds to make briquets — you know charcoal? She said it smelled really good.  I’d love to have some barbeque beef roasted over them.  They even made a you-tube video.  Cool idea, right? to recycle coffee grounds.

X is for xenodocheionology

I know you are wondering what the heck xenodocheionology is and how to pronounce it.  It means the lore of inns and hotels.  Nowaday, I would assume that would include motels too. Good luck on pronouncing xenodocheionology .

My friend Tammy is very into vintage neon signs (she has a blog on it) so we went to Casa Grande to see their new Vintage Neon Signs Park which included some historic motel neons from Highway 84.
