Here's Another Treasure or Two...Vintage Vignette

#2 set this up on the back porch, just to make my "stuff" pile look nicer.  She does a great job!  A beautiful Wrought Iron and Metal Tole Magazine Rack, an old suit case (I'm thinking of putting chalkboard paint on it so you/we can write messages on the case!)  The birdcage on top of the suitcase is one of my favorites.  I have a few ideas in mind for that too.




AND We're do for a PUPPY Picture!


Puppies !  They're Growing and are Soooo much fun to watch

I Am Consumed With My Treasures

After Estate Sailing and Tag Sailing, I am totally consumed with the new found treasures.  From research to shipping, I love it all, but it ends up taking time from the other things I love - Blogging!  

Here are some more of our finds from a few weekends ago:  This trip was extra special because my daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughter came on the adventure too!

Vintage Religious Items - One of our specialties

Arched Mirror With Gesso or Carved Flowers
Stuben-Like Tear Drop Glasses - Can you see the tear drop in the stem?
Etched Quadruple Silverplate Creamer
Etched Quadruple Silver Plate Sugar Bowl


There are a few more things, but a little bit of clean up is needed before the pictures.  

Stay Tuned For My Guest Blogger - Coming Soon!

EXCITING Weekend At The Pink House!

What a Great Weekend We had!  It started Saturday morning when Shrek and I went and got a Starbucks coffee, and headed out to two Estate Sales.  It was a little late to be heading out at 9 AM, but it didn't matter to me; I was excited just to be going.  

As it turns out, the house was just about empty of it's vintage "stuff", but it's not just the contents of the house that I love meandering through, but sometimes the houses themselves are so interesting.  Case in point...this house.  It was an older house with beautiful woodwork, a finished attic that had windows looking out to a park, and a nice porch with a church pew as a bench.  




Sometimes it's the stuff that no one wants, that's the best; at least in my opinion.  I found some interesting things:  A Wooden Jewish Match It/Memory Educational game, vintage pack of Hearts cards, two vintage packs of airline playing cards, a ballerina with a tulle and lace tutu on a post that spins, marked Japan and a Lenox Loving Hearts Treasure Trinket Box.  All soon to be on ebay!  

Then on Sunday, we / #4 got a puppy, and so did #2, who lives with us....So there are now 2 adorable Border Collies living with us, Maxwell (#2's) and Kayla (#4's).  

Kayla on the Left and Maxwell on the Right
Call me Crazy (as #1 did!), (and my brother calls me Mrs. Doolittle) but it is very exciting to have the puppies.  #4 plans on obedience training and showing, as well as agility and possibly frisbee, and I'm looking forward to working with her and sharing in this sport.  #2's happy because she now has a jogging partner, and she and her family like to hike and do things outdoors.
