He Has Risen!

But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Romans 5:8

"For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved."

John 3:17

On the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came to the tomb, bringing the spices which they had prepared.

And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

John 24:1-3

"Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and rise again from the dead the third day."

John 24:46

"Let not your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me.

In My Father's house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you."

"And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also."

John 14:1-3

He did that for me!

And for you!

Old Metal, You've Got To Love It!

Ok, so I think I have a fascination for old metal items. And apparently kitchen items are on the top of the list.

My poor husband cringes whenever I come out of the kitchen, of an estate sale, holding a vintage piece of 1940's kitchenware!

Did that make it sound more appealing?

1940's

I picked up this vintage bread box at an auction. The color was wonderful and of course "metal".

Ok, let's talk storage!

I use these bread boxes to hold utensils that I don't use that often, yet still need occasionally.

I love this old stool, pink and black. I haven't seen another one like it, so I'm glad I kept it.

This was for you honey,the perfect place to store your potatoes, onions and garlic.

Little metal timers as well!

And of course they're sitting on a metal cart.

Here's another cart that holds my microwave as well as other metal tins.

Breadboxes came in all sizes, notice the rectangular bread box on the bottom shelf. This is the perfect size for one loaf of bread.

Oh, and who doesn't like an old cake tin, especially if there's cake in it!

Here's a few old garbage cans as well.

Here's a picture of a few of the metal chairs I have on my deck.

Lastly, another old breadbox that I use in my bathroom to hold towels!

Well, I better stop there as it's starting to look like an addiction to metal.

But don't you just like the look of old pieces!

Spring Is In The Air!

Spring is in the air!

I think it actually made it to 77 degrees today.

The sun felt so good.

We've been having a lot of rain and feeling a bit soggy.

I didn't have much luck this week-end while out estate shopping so I don't have a lot to show you.

But here are a couple of sweet finds.

I thought these cards were pretty darn cute.

I really enjoy the sweet little girls on the front.

Here are some little itty-bitty house ornaments I picked up.

They will be fun around Christmas time.

My #1 and I spent a lot of time at Monticello sprucing up the booth.

We took down doors on the walls and put up muslin fabric.

We added a couple of pieces of new furniture also.

You may recognize a few of the pieces.

Lastly, I picked up this wonderful smelling "Pink Jasmine".

I decided to plant it in a large concrete planter on my porch.

What a wonderful smell awaits me when I walk towards the door.

A Few More Fun Finds!

I wanted to share with you a few more photos of some of the things I found this week-end.

Old locks, don't you just love the graphics on those? I was able to pick up a few this week-end.

I don't have the keys but I just loved the designs on each side, so it was a "must buy" thing.

Also, old keys, I mean who doesn't like old keys?

This small wood laboratory box has four little sections in it.

A cute little way to store bits and pieces of things.

Here are some sweet baby dresses.

I am a total sucker for these things.

I have quite of few of them hanging from old doorknobs in my entry way.

Lastly, I played around with some old BINGO cards (my favorite). I found old drawings in a 1940's knitting magazine and glued them to the front of the cards.

I'm not really sure what I'm going to do with them but I thought they'd make great garland for a baby shower...or maybe even a fun gift card!

So for right now I'll just look at the sweet little baby pictures.
