White Wednesday


Wow, the week is just flying by!

So much to do and so little time.

I've been so busy cleaning and pricing, getting ready for the garden show at Monticello.

I did take a little time to snap a few pictures though.

Old letters!

Always fun to read.


Old spools of crochet thread.


And last an old baby doll.

Clothed in a vintage white dress.

She came with a sweet vintage sweater and booties.


Thank you for stopping by.

Be sure to check out all the participants this week.

Head over to Kathleen's of Faded Charm.

You'll want to enter to win a Starbucks Card ($25.00)!

Sounds good to me!

A Beautiful White Wednesday!


It really is a beautiful White Wednesday!

I woke up to sunshine, what a beautiful thing to wake up to!

Here are a few photos I took for the White Wednesday post.

I love to pick up string while out treasure hunting!

It's one of those useful items!

I think I like it to much and need to go through my stash and start getting rid of some!


An old birdbath I acquired a few years back.

And last, but never least a sea of pretty white flowers.

I'm sorry I don't know the name of them.


But, they sure are pretty!

Thank you for stopping by!

Just go to Kathleens @ Faded Charm you're in for a real treat.

The Ugly Duckling


Saturdays are usually filled with estate shopping.

Unfortunately, there wasn't a lot going on as far as treasure hunting goes.

So my #1 and I headed to the Rebuilders store to purchase old boards to finish an old cabinet that I purchased about a month ago.


I have to tell you my #1 was not pleased with this cabinet when he first saw it.

I have to admit it wasn't the prettiest thing.

It looked as if it was carelessly torn out of the inside of a garage.

But I just knew he could do something great with it.


Every time he saw the cabinet he would express to me that it would make better firewood then anything.

Well, today was the day he tore into it.

I have to say it still isn't pretty but it looks a lot better!

I love the old primitive shelving.

I'm sure it will make a wonderful garden storage cabinet for an avid gardener.


And more importantly it's done!

So, if you're looking for a great old primitive cabinet to put gardening supplies in, be sure to come to Monticello's Garden Show, which opens April 9th.

Thank you for stopping by!

White Wednesday!


I have to say, "White Wednesday" has made me post weekly!

I've been up to my eyebrows in preparation for the Garden Show at Monticello
next month.

It's been keeping me pretty busy.

I decided to take a quick little break and look for a few white things I have around the house.

Old white fencing, I've always had a fondness for that.


Old white pillars.

I'm still looking for a statue to set on top.


An old spaghetti Sheep Dog, he's pretty cute!


An old creamy white lampshade.

I picked that up this week-end, I just loved the ruffle.



Two more sweet Scotties!

Last, an old cookie jar.

The paint has long gone on this piece but I love that it's all white!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
