It's Rednesday over at My Secret Garden

Go on over and join in on the fun!!

This is my first time on Rednesday!
Just couldn't wait till flaunt your red Friday to show off my finds.

This is my new gum ball machine,
(or whatever we decide to put in it).
It was great deal.
I took it all apart to clean it, and even though
I haven't figured out how to make it work
or get my money back out of it, it still looks good.


And how about this new treasure.
It is a child's plastic phone.
(red of course)
And the ringer still works.
You just dial the number and it rings.




And this is my red face when i super glued
myself to the door casing while trying to fix it.



That's all my red today.

blessings on your week,

Barbara Jean

FYI
For those who have asked:
Yes, I did get free from the doorway! =0))

It's outdoor Wednesday.
Be sure to go on over to Susan's
A Southern Daydreamer
and see all the other wonderful outdoor pics.

I collect collections.
So, here are my two piggies till i find more. =0)


This little piggy went to market.
(don't you just love his patina?)

This little piggy stayed home.
You can see why, he needs his face washed.
Oh no!! It's not dirt!
Poor little piggy is just plain falling apart.
It's OK. It makes him even more special.


How about some yard art?
My brother did these for me.
(yes, the same brother that call me his ding-a-ling sis) =0)
The rocks are stacked just so to keep their balance.
Not glued on!

Here's another.

Oh, and who are these guys, and where did they come from?

"Came up all the way from California in the trunk!!"
(Wrapped in a blanket so no one could hear them yelling.)

"Not a great way to travel."

"My dear, I'm noticing something in your 'hare'.
What is that?"

"Well, I'm either getting old,
or i am green with envy over the neighbor's yard.
Or, maybe i just need a good cleaning."

OK. That's my outdoor Wednesday this week.
Now i better go clean my friend up.

blessing,
Barbara Jean

Three or More Tuesday

Three or more Tuesday

See Tam, at Gypsy Corner for more 3 or mores




Oh, too many treasures, not enough time!!

I'm doing two posts in one again this week..

Here are my 3 or more:

3 or more drawers..

I got this at my brother's garage sale
(I had pre-sale privileges, and, name your own price!
Don't worry, I was fair!!)

I'm not sure what it was originally,
but it has been used as a tool box,
which is evident by all the grease on it.

And not too long ago i saw the exact same thing that
someone was using for silver ware, and linens.
(a bit cleaned up of course).
What are the chances that i would find the same thing?

And here are 3 or more lamp shades.
For some reason i have this thing about these little lamp shades,
all cute and trimmed up with beads and fringe.
But wait till you see what i am doing with them!!
Your gonna' love it!

And here are 3 of the 25 Bingo cards i got.
They just intrigued me.
They are 9X10", which is larger
than your average bingo card.
Any ideas what to do with them???






And here is my Second Time Around Tuesday.
go on over to Dianes,
at "a picture is worth a thousand words"
for more second time around posts.


Isn't she beautiful??
I got her for a mere $5.00 at the flea market yesterday.

She's about 12" tall, and will fit right in at the store,
in the new *Cream area we are working on.

Here's another angle.

And here she is from the front.

Love the idea of time spent and a peaceful moment nurturing.
(Be sure to click on her for all the detail.
She is so lovely).

*If you love cream decor, be sure to visit
Dream in Cream
You will absolutely fall in love with her pics.


Be sure to thank our wonderful hosts for these two events.

Blessings and thanks for coming by,
Barbara Jean
