Oh, How I love you!

I "HEART" my van!

(there is a table…4 chairs…2 small tables in the back of that van! Yes!)

It is so nice to go to a sale and not have to go back with the pickup, especially when the sale is not right next door.

Today, I was able to load up the van and go on to the next sale!

AWESOME!

And you know what?

I could have stacked more on top of that wood!

On another note for those Picnik users, which I am, and so "LOVE"!

Apparently, they will be closing there website on April 19th.

Boo Hoo...

Oh...what am I going to do without Picnik?...I love it so!

So now I'm on the search for a photo editor.

I've used Picasa but its just not the same...

What do you use?

I'd love to hear from you.

what i love about it....

I didn't do much treasure hunting this week-end as there wasn't much out there that interested me.

But I did manage to meander into one about an hour after it opened.

I found one thing.

This sweet old child's chair.

It's the size of a high chair.

I love everything about it.

I love the old dark wood...

and all the details carved in the wood...

I love the fact that they used old wire around the legs to make it sturdy...

I love the fact that the wood is worn in different areas, probably from a very busy child.

So even though I didn't get into the "mother load" this week-end I do love my sweet chair!

Hope you found some great treasures this week-end!

Talk to you later!

Happy New Year!

"One of these things doesn't belong with the other ..."

Do you remember that song from Sesame Street?

Well, there is something that doesn't belong here...unfortunately she doesn't realize she's it!

I guess the best look out spot is on top of the hutch!

little sister...little sister...little sister...we've got to talk!

Wishing you a wonderful New Year!

My Old Navy Bag

During the week days proceeding Christmas I decided to take on a project that I've wanted to do for some time.

I've collected a few old canvas army and navy bags.

I thought they would make great totes when cut down.

I used an old navy bag for this project.

I decided to get out that pair of scissors and make the first cut.

Why is it always so hard to make that cut?

I ended up combining it with black and white stripe ticking.

I love how it turned out.

I was able to keep the old grommets on the bag as well.

This bag had a patch on it and since it added such personality to the bag I used it on the inside pocket.

See the "OREGON" on it.....love it!

I'm joining up with Kathleen of Faded Charm for White Wednesday!Thank you for stopping by!

This Is What It's All About!

It's here!

December 25th!

I wanted to share with you one more of my Christmas decorations.

A Nativity.

It's one of my favorite things to put out each year.

It's a little larger than most Nativity sets and the colors are so bright.

I purchased this at a local estate sale for $3.00, can you believe it, $3.00!

This is what Christmas is all about!

God sending His Son to earth for you and me!

The greatest gift of all, Jesus Christ!

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas!

From my family to yours!
