Two Useful Vintage Items

I thought I'd share with you a couple of items that I use in my studio to hold different things that I will eventually use.

As you can see I've taken an old birdcage and converted it into a caddy for vintage threads and a few pincushion creations.

It's great because I can see what colors I have on hand, ready to use right away.

As you know I have a thing for these old wig heads.

This one I use to display different jewelry and any other fun pieces.

If I had enough room I think I would have a shelf of these.

I could display all my "bling" that is waiting in a box for me to use!

Wouldn't that be a fun shelf!

Lastly, I want to tell you about a FABULOUS Giveaway my friend Sue of Bella Shabby is having!

It's a Double Giveaway, two great items.

So be sure to stop by her blog and get your name in!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

This Little Piggy Went Home!

No estate shopping this week-end!

It was time to visit family.

We headed to Medford, Oregon to visit my sister and her family.

We had a wonderful time.

Aren't sisters great!

We arrived Friday evening. It was fun to see all of my neices and nephews and of course, sweet baby Alexis, my (grandneice). She is full of smiles and so fun to love on.

Saturday morning involved a little trip to find pigs for the kid's 4H projects, which will be coming up in July.

My neice was a true girl and picked according to "looks", you've just got to love that!

Although, I do have to say she did pretty well last year with her pig at the fair!

There must be something said for cute pigs!

We also went to my neice's home and visited.

Here is a picture of what she sees when she looks outside her door, Long-horns!

Aren't they magnificent!

Saturday afternoon, my #1 and I went into Jacksonville, a fun little town close to Medford.It was the location of one of the first placer goldmines in Oregon. The town has attempted to keep some of its original flavor which makes it an interesting place ot visit.

They have a wonderful Coffee Shop which we love to hit whenever we are in town.

Here are a couple of pictures of the window at the Barber Shop in town.

Here is one of my favorite shops in Jacksonville, Farmhouse Treasures.

I wanted to take pictures inside the shop for you, but since the owner wasn't there to ask permission I ended up taking a window shot instead.

Here are a couple of things I picked up at Farmhouse Treasures.

Sunday morning we got up went to church and headed back home.

We experienced every kind of weather possible from snow to hail, rain and sunshine.

Isn't it Spring?

Hope you had a great week-end too!

Sweet Finds!

What a fun week-end! I was able to get out and find some vintage treasures.

The first place I like to hit in a house is the basement or the upstairs, I mean way upstairs.

It seems like that's where the real treasures are found or at least where I find mine. I think things that become old are thrown in the basement or put up in the attic. I know that is where I'd put them. It's probably a good thing I don't have a basement or an attic.

The above picture are some old millinery flowers that I was able to pick up this week-end.

After we got home we started unloading the truck. Everything ended up in the entryway so I thought I'd just take a quick picture before putting it all away.

We picked up a few tables this week-end as well as the fun old cabinet shown.

I picked up this great box of vintage cards. Don't you just love the artwork on old cards! So sweet!

I'll have to bundle some up and take them to Monticello.

We were able to go back again today for some half price buying!

That's always fun.

While waiting in line I got to meet Julie and Christa from Kindred Spirit Soap Co. and Kindred Roses .

We didn't get a lot of time to talk as the doors opened and everyone went scurrying about looking for great deals. They did end up with a stash of sweet finds though! So be sure to stop by their blog and say, "Hi". and see what they've been up to.

It's always fun to make contact with other blogging buddies!

I don't sell a lot of vintage clothing but these vintage dresses were in wonderful pastel colors, perfect for Spring!

And they were half off so I picked them up.

Isn't that the sweetest bow on the back of this dress!

I saw this vintage doll head on Saturday and wanted to buy it but just didn't want to pay what they were asking for it. Today half price! Yippee!

Thank you for stopping by and looking at what I found this week-end.

What Is It About PINK!

Ok, so what is it about pink that catches my eye.

When out estate shopping I try and keep my finds to neutral colors as these colors go in most everyone's house.

But... when I see pink, especially shabby and worn pink, I have to pick it up!

I'm addicted to PINK!

And what about the old vintage aqua color....we'll we won't even go there!

I hope each of you have a wonderful week-end!

Thank you for stopping by!
