Treasures I Found

Hello, Prim Pals.....I told one of

my buddies that I would post all

the great stuff I bought over the

last couple weekends, so here goes.

All the items in the first picture were

bought in antique malls, except for

the 4 things in the back of the picture,

they were found at a GW store.  The

wooden bowl has a winter scene, which

I am going to paint over.  I want my

hubby to make me a bowl rack, so I

should have plenty to put in it by the

time he makes it. I got the cute little

pineapple lamp for $2.99, plus the

shade was $1.99.....The magazine rack

on the right side of the picture was a

steal, at $1, I am going to paint it black

and hang it on the wall in the bath, below

the cabinet full of tins.  The candle stick,

next to it has a wonderul design on it, it's

not pewter, but looks like it is....

I got all the stuff in the picture, below at

one garage sale, except for the bread box!

The milking stool has a handle on it and it

was made in Yugoslavia, and has a nice

finish on it.

A close up pic of some of the tins, above.

You can see that I got them all cheap!

I couldn't find a date on this Nabisco

tin, but I think it is very old.

I found this cookie keeper, weekend

before last, at a fleamarket....I am going

to paint it, what color, I don't know...

I also got these at the same fleamarket...

I have a spoon rack for some of the spoons,

I didn't want only 2 or 3 of them and he said

take them all for $2....So, I did.  I am going

to make a shoo fly screen out of the strainer

and I put the pitcher with the bluebonnets,

on the shelf above the french doors.  I will

have to show you all a picture of that later

on. I decided that this is it for the summer

for hitting the antique malls, it is too hot in

them, this time of year.  I might go to the

little fleamarket, a couple times, but that

will be all....Can you have too much stuff???

Yes, you can, I have proof!  I don't go

gamble, bowling, play bingo or anything

like that, I like to go hunting for treasures!

I figure that I have something for my money

and I can sell it somewhere down the road,

if I get tired of dusting it!  That's my story,

and I am sticking to it!

Well, I need to figure out what I am going

to do with all this stuff, so that is it for

today.....I hope you all are staying cool!

Until next time....
