What's Up With This ?

What is up with this? This is what I woke up to ..... is it really May 2 ? This is a watering can I have sitting on a little wood bench my dad made for me many years ago ,all dusted with snow ! We have been teased with a few nice spring days and now it has been cold and rainy , mixed with snow . Brrrrr , I am so ready for spring ! It's coming I know !

Yesterday there were a few yard sales , most were cancelled because of the cold , but I did hit one that had fabulous things! Was an estate sale, an elderly woman's family was having a sale of everything in her home . She had wonderful things , I just wished I wouldn't of been two hours late getting there! I was busy taking care of some other things before I made it to check out all of the yard sales! Beautiful Bleko glassware, adorable bird cage, and that silver teapot ... the lid is broken but I already know what Iam going to do with it so it doesn't matter. That super tall white milk glass vase is beautiful !

Just a few of the treasures I got , don't you love it when you find great things? Have a blessed Sunday !

Projects & More !

Spring is here & that also brings yard work ! Which I don't mind , but I have a backyard dilemma I am trying to figure out ! I have a spot in my back by my driveway that use to be grass , until everyone has had to park there when there was no more room . Well it has created an eyesore now ! If I had the funds I would cement it , but I don't ! So it will be a plan B thing !! I would rather be working on flowers and pretty things !

Went to some yard sales on Sat. and picked up some lovely things to re-purpose ! A sample of some of the treasures I found ! There was also a community sale that benefits our hospital , so I checked it out and came home with this vintage typewriter and some other little trinkets ! The top photo is of my son's kitty !!! He has been out of town working and I have been taking care of her , she is a sweety !!!

Have a fabulous day everyone !! Off to work on projects !!

Monday's Junk !!

The Nice and Easy Antiques gal's are having a Junkin Monday , so I thought I would join in , except my junk is of things I recently found and am using in my home !!!

The top photo is of my table in my living room ( the table was a junk find also a long time ago ) I purchased a low clear glass candle holder and a clear glass vase from the thrift store.... glued them together and ...tada, it is holding a "birdie nest " !I also came across this large apothecary jar in a turquoise , blue tone , I knew it would go in my office , so there it is sitting by a stack of white pedestal dishes I have also acquired via garage sales! The walls in my office are a robins egg blue ( on one wall only) the other walls are a brown tone, the sweet little vintage kitty is a gift from a friend !.

Another repurposed little treasure is on a table in my living room, I had found this little dome with a bottom , not sure what they are intended for , may be butter, but I glued it to a candlestick and turned it into a pedestal dish with a dept. 56 kitty inside that a friend gave me many years ago , it is sitting in a bed of white vintage buttons.

I also snapped a shot of some frames I had found at the thrift shop and a silver tray that I am in the middle of repurposing !! So I better get back to my projects !! Have a wonderful day ! And check out the other Junkin Monday Posts !
