RECENT FINDS!

Just a few quick pics of some of the great stuff I've picked up lately!

These 2 chairs are perfectly chippy!! There is a cute little bench that goes with this set that I forgot to get a picture of too--but it's just as chippy and cute!!!

Will be giving these 2 chairs a coat of white I think! Won't they be cute with a little table in between? Now I just gotta find one!! That's our dog goin' potty in the background!!! Ooops- I forgot he was out there!!!!!!

These vintage egg boxes have the greatest patina and color! I love the mustard one!!! It may stay with me for a little while!!

Cute little grungy drop leaf table and a homemade wheelbarrow made for me by my handy guy Dan!

Isn't this long bench amazing?? It's just over 9 feet long and is the most wonderful shade of green! I can just picture it on someone's porch with pots of red geraniums!! Now I just gotta figure out how to get it to the store!!

Hope you are having a good weekend! Sunny but windy here!!

More DAN-dy stuff!!

In my last post I mentioned that I frequently buy from a guy named Dan. Well he came through for me again with some more great stuff!! This is a picture of my van after my last visit to his house! He and his wife are cleaning out a super-old house with awesome junk!!!

The shabby rocker has the most perfectly aged shade of cream and green paint---YUMMY!!

The large laundry basket in the back is awesome too~~I'm filling it with springy branches for the open house!

Great selection of vintage pots and birdhouses!!

I love this gorgeous mirror--just the right amount of age to the silver!!

This was the best he had to offer that day~~~The most wonderful selection of vintage Valentines that I've ever found!!!! I love all of them!!

Isn't she a sweetie?!?


He just called me again this morning~~~has a box of old rosaries and a ton of linens!!!

I better get going-Ican't wait to see what he has for me!!!

RANDOM RAMBLINGS

I haven't really been out much lately to find anything new but I have picked up a few things. I have been buying from a man I've known for several years now. He and his wife do estate clean-outs...not as glorious as it may sound because they have to take the good, the bad, and the ugly! Dan also is my Mr. Fix-it for the bigger jobs I can't handle and my builder too--very handy to have around since my hubs is often too busy on the farm!! Often times he comes up with some good stuff!! Like this great celluloid silverware...

Got all this wonderful pearl cotton from Goodwill!! Creamy white and pastels...very springy!!

Vintage cookbooks~~~I love all the handwritten notes and little extra pieces of paper you often find in these!!! So personal and charming!! I bought these from Dan also as well as a load of cute cookie cutters...

Another Goodwill find~~~future pincushion!

I have been pincushion crazy lately-basically anything with a hole in it!!!



My first Etsy purchase!!! And I am hooked!!!

Gorgeous vintage photo album with the most fabulous pages!

It almost seems sinful to alter these pages~~~

A couple bottle projects---these were kinda fun!

Our spring open house is this coming Weds. so the next few days will be crazy busy!! I have all these ideas swimming around in my head waiting to get out!! I hope the weather cooperates and we have a good turn out~~will try and take lots of pictures once I get everything just right!*!*!


Have a wonderful weekend!!
