OLD DOORS

I love old doors,
so I thought today would be a good time to show you a couple.

Above is the old display on the front of the store.
(It has grown since this pic.)
If you click on the pic you will see the door in the center.
It had the hole for a window but no glass, so
I just added a frame out of old fence boards,
put a back on it, and shelves for display.

This door is the back drop for a sweet
vanity display in the corner.

Funky Junk Saturdays

Hope you will go check these blogs out
and see all the wonderful creations there.

PS We think my Dad had another stroke, and had an episode with his Alzheimer's yesterday. And 2 grand kids have strep throat. We could use some prayer.
thanks

Great Color, but what is it? (and other finds)

I've had this for a long time.
It had a home in the garage.
Now it has been set free from it's dusty box.

any one know what it is??

Here is the back.

Little ( only 3" across) coin purse.

Will probably be a bird nest home soon.

Love these two statues,
but, shouldn't they be white, then antiqued??

One of the pieces from the 2nd box of jewelry.
(if you missed the first one, go HERE)
It is about 2" across, and has
the coolest hands.
Hope it won't be too blurry if you click on it.

Outdoor Fun, and Fix It

Look at these mushrooms!

I saw them while out on my walk.

Dozens of them.

And can you believe how big they are?
(that is my size 7 shoe beside this one,
and it is bigger than that!)
This one must have been a foot across.

Doe you have big mushrooms here you live??
Garden Tip:
Waste not, want not.
Broke corner off this cute jar, so...

I put it in the garden and made a planter out of it.

My Egret (or blue Heron) is back.
Been gone all winter.
There has been construction around his pond.
Hope he stays.
I missed him.

Thanks for coming by.

Red and White Treasures

A white book.
Love it when you get a treasure then find out it is worth something.
(more to come on it)


Here is some old, creamy, whiteness for you.
An old, old cook book.
I got this in a baggy of 'stuff' at an estate sale.

A handwritten note
tells about the book and where it came from.
And there were several aged recipes, and notes.
In another baggie there were these wonderful old crochet instructions.
They are so fragile I will put them under glass in a collage,
so they are not ruined.
This beautiful crocheted piece was also in the bag.



Could not find a date on any of them,
but on the back of one was a picture of Kaiser William
at the front with his troops.
Circa WW 1

A repeat picture.
I just love this window in the new 'wall'.
I just put a baby dress hanging from it today.
Forgot to take a pic of that.

Not quite cream or white, but love it!
(Oh, a little red in the corner.
Does that count for Rednesday??)

Well, here is some red for sure!
How cute is this?
It is a Mickey corn popper from the 70's.
A little worse for wear, but it works! So fun!

The little balls bounce around,
and Mickey moves and the cart moves.
So cool.

A red kitchen gadget.
French Fry cutter??

What have I been workin' on?
New display at the store.

Sea Shore.

If you click on the picture, you will see
a little, cool, green wheelbarrow on the floor.
I put sand, a green bottle, and some shells in it.

wonderful blogs for their special Wednesday treasures!

Whatcha Working On Wednesdays

WooHoo! The Jackpot!!

Remember this box of jewelry from yesterday's post?
I sorted through it tonight.
Boy, did I hit the jackpot!

Besides the fun of just going through it all,
I found..
pearls

Trinkets....

jewels to craft with,
and some to re-bag for a garage sale in a couple of weeks.

And I found this.....

oops! sideways pic.

well, it is a compass.
and not just any compass.
It has U. S. on it.

My sweet fella thinks it's from WW 11.

So cool huh??

oh, not so cool.
Dropped something on this little piece at the store.
Can you see the big chip out of the front?
Too cute to throw away, so......

I put it in the flower bed with some Elysium in it.

Thanks for coming by.

I'm signing up or these fun places today.
Please go visit and tell our hostesses thanks.
