New Bathroom Decor & More


Welcome to Blissful White Wednesday.
My fave place to be mid week.
Before the bathroom, wanted to show you this complete box of  bobbins I got.
Just love it....

still complete in box.
OK, now that bathroom....
At our little shop, we need to make good use of our space.
So, some time ago, we covered the bathtub with an old door, 
and some old eyelet curtains, and made it into another 'space'.
Here is the latest display.


sweet little table, some scales, and my 'newest' mannequin.
Still tossing around names for her. Maybe Gertrude???
We'll see.

Here she is in all her glory....
 

I found this old lamp shade last weekend.
Just love it....old and torn, and it is so rotten....
 

it was easy to tear a bit more of it,
and let it be a new crow home....
 

When Fall is over, and if it does not sell,
will tear rest of cover off to reveal more of that perfectly
covered wire. I'll leave the trim on top and bottom.
another great 'cloche' for some of my treasures.

thanks for visiting.
Love Bleissful White Wednesday.
Check it out.

Cottage Whites and Other Treasures




Here are a few pics of the Cottage Room in our store.....
(I know some of you will wonder 
what the piece is one top of the cubby.
It is part of a loom....love it!!) SOLD, sorry.

Decided to add a little 'color' by 
putting this black scale in the room too.


Little bits of cottage colors here and there....


And this new corner..
Thanks for visiting everyone.

Amazing Old Stamps


 I came across a bag of old stamps,
some wood, some metal.
I'm not sure what some of them represent,
as the one above.
If you recognize any of them,
please let me know.


 This is a wood backed stamp, and is for Super Feeds Mix,
whatever that is.


 American Legion Auxiliary stamp, wood back.

 This one is so worn, I could not even figure out what it was supposed to be.

 This one, for Vardmark Enterprises, has a wood back.



 and this design....any clues?
It is solid steel.

This one is FFA Vocational Agriculture..

 
And this, well, best for last.
The 1859 State Seal of Oregon.

 According to ORS 186.020, the seal consists of an outer ring with the text "State of Oregon", "1859". The inner circle contains an American eagle atop a shield. The shield depicts mountains, an elk, a covered wagon, and the Pacific Ocean. In the ocean, a British man-of-war is departing and an American steamer is arriving, symbolizing the end of British rule in the Oregon Country.[4] The elk represents the plentiful game found in the state.[3] The second quartering shows a sheaf, a plow, and a pickaxe. These symbolize mining and husbandry.[3] The banner is inscribed "The Union". Thirty-three stars surrounding the shield represent the number of states upon Oregon's entry into the union in 1859.

Joining these parties today.

Blessings and thanks for visiting

Fall Display


Bits of Fall decor at the store.
Every year my crows come out to play.
What do you think of the new crow head on the right of the box?
It is part of a loom.
  a few of my hand made pumpkins left...
love the old typewriter too.


tucking artificial fall 'greenery' livens up our display.
And all kinds of mysterious items hidden here and there.

 this is an old charcoal lighter.
when they get hot you dump into your bar-b-q.
perfect for a floral bouquet.

that's all.

Blissful Whites Wednesday



quick post for my fave Wednesday linky party.
Anyone ever seen a little round band-aid tin?
I could not even find one on the internet...


Found a few enamel lights,
and this wonderful old metal bed, with rails!!!
 
This lawnmower is actually a very pale yellow,
but thought I'd show you anyway.

blessings all, and have a super week.
