✈️ THE BRICK ENABLER STRIKES AGAIN! ✈️

Fresh off the building table last night: the gorgeous LEGO 40450 Amelia Earhart Tribute from 2021! 💗

A massive thank you to The Brick Shoppe in Kennewick, WA for another fantastic find! This limited-edition beauty was originally released to celebrate Women's History Month, and finding one new in box locally is a total win! 🙌

Fun Brick Facts about this build:🔴 That striking red plane is a replica of the Lockheed Vega 5B—and LEGO actually used real blueprints of the aircraft to design it!🗺️

The exclusive Amelia Earhart minifigure comes with a tiny printed tile mapping out her historic 1932 solo transatlantic flight path.📐 It includes a sleek display stand and plaque, making it the perfect shelf centerpiece.

If you haven’t dropped by The Brick Shoppe lately, you’re missing out on some serious hidden gems! 💕

The Brick Enabler has officially enabled herself again—and she’s been busy! 💅✨

She just had to hit that checkout button on LEGO.com to score the amazing free Gift with Purchase: the Tribute to Leonardo da Vinci workshop. 🎨🇮🇹
It was the absolute perfect piece to match her previous flying machine, and she successfully built both of them this weekend! ✈️🛠️

Of course, reaching that free gift threshold required a few completely necessary "excuses."

😉 She just happened to add the beautiful new Botanicals Cosmos Flowers to her cart, which she also flew through building this weekend! 🌸
Now, her flower vase proudly boasts a stunning arrangement from three entirely different botanical sets. 💐🏺

But the fun isn't over yet! Today, she is officially starting on her biggest set yet: The Toy Story Slinky Dog Bookends. 🐶📚

Meanwhile, the resident Brick Fanatic is in absolute heaven over there—completely distracted, playing with minifigures, and aggressively organizing them by theme. 🦸‍♂️🧙‍♂️

🗂️Everyone wins in this household! 🧱🥳

Shoutout to The Brick Shoppe in Kennewick, WA for this certified used 2008 Lego 7621 Indiana Jones and the Lost Tomb! Every single piece was there and organized fantastically. The Brick Enabler is officially in business! 🐍🤠

Meanwhile, the Brick Fanatic is hard at work tackling Lego 10354 The Shire. It's safe to say we are not at the same level. The Shire is a 2,017 piece set, while the Brick Enabler is building a grand total of...277. 😅

I'll just be over here finishing my build in a couple hours while they are stuck in Middle-earth all weekend! ☕🕒

Can we appreciate the craftsmanship on these for a second? 🙌

I stumbled across this gorgeous pair of vintage hand-carved stone lion bookends at an estate sale today, and they are officially the newest addition to my personal collection!

Between the rich, earthy tones and the regal poses, I knew they had to come home with me. There is nothing quite like the weight and feel of genuine, vintage stone carvings to bring a shelf to life! 🦁📖

Drop a picture of your favorite shelf-decorators below—I'd love to see them! 👇

Table Update: The Brick Fanatic Returns 👑

The Clear Table: Look at all that open and scarred wood grain! The Brick Fanatic got home last night to find the table completely cleared before he even walked in the door.

Easy Victory: The pastel bricks are gone. He got 100% of his space back without doing any actual work. Good job, Brick Enabler!

The Border Wall: His stuff did get trapped in the middle though. His brown box, black mailer, and tiny bag of minifigures are stuck in the center while his sealed sets wait in the corner.

The Next Haul: Let’s be real. This empty table is just begging for a new haul. Give it 48 hours before he brings home more boxes and restarts the war.

Current Mood: Victorious. We can finally eat here without sitting on a loose brick. He only allowed this post because his wife made him, so now he is going back to building and avoiding social media.

Status Report from the Lego Build Zone:
Day 3 and 4 (The Defeat)

📊Territory Update: The Brick Enabler’s 99% monopoly has officially been breached. The Brick Fanatic has launched a stealth invasion from afar, creeping back onto the table. Not only is that tiny bag of minifigures still dug in, but a mysterious brown shipping box has now established a new forward operating base on the left flank!

The Rainbow Abyss: Looking at this table, it appears a Lego unicorn exploded. The pure volume of pastel pinks, purples, and yellows spread across this towel is causing minor psychological damage.

The Casualty Rate: The bulk tub harvest has stalled. There are "complete" sets everywhere... if you ignore the staggering amount of missing pieces currently holding them hostage.

Current Mood: The Brick Enabler formally admits defeat to the table. The adrenaline has faded, the colors are blending together, and I am officially waving the white flag. 🏳️

Reinforcements Needed: Desperately counting down the hours until tomorrow night when the Brick Fanatic returns from business travel.

Please come home and take your table back—I’m drowning in pink bricks and tiny windows.

🤠 WAGON WHEEL HUNT: SUCCESS? 🤠

I was just talking to someone today who put me on the hunt for an old wagon wheel for their yard decor. Just a couple hours later, I’m sorting through misc bricks and-💥 Found one! 🎉 Now, hear me out... I know it’s not the size she was probably looking for, but maybe this will work? It saves a ton of yard space, and the horses are incredibly low-maintenance. 🧱🐎

Think she will notice the scale difference, or should I just mail it? 📦😂

Status Report from the Lego Build Zone:
Day 2 📊Territory Update

The Brick Enabler's 100% monopoly has officially dropped to 99%. The Brick Fanatic managed to secure one tiny, strategic square inch for a single bag of minifigures.
Can you see it? 👀

The Labor Divide: Last night, the Fanatic pulled a heavy shift sorting and organizing the bricks, passing pieces across the border to the Enabler to rebuild the bulk tub sets.

The Bulk Tub Harvest: We are officially 4 for 9 on rebuilding the washed chaos.

The Successes: Two sets are fully complete, beautifully resurrected, and ready for display.

The Tragedies: Two sets are "complete"... if you don't count the single, infuriatingly specific missing piece holding them hostage.

Current Mood: Pure, adrenaline-fueled excitement to finish the remaining 5 sets while the Brick Fanatic is away on business travel. Nothing says "welcome home" like a completely conquered table and zero workspace left for them with a new quest started!

Solo Victory: There is no "I" in team, but there is an "I" in "I built this entire Lego empire by myself while you were in a hotel room." 🏆
