Antique Mall Finds

Morning, Y'all....I hope you all

had a great weekend!  I was pretty

busy, like most holiday weekends.

We moved the furniture around in

the living room, so I decided to redo

some of the seams on the walls, who

ever did them, did a lousy job. This

is in the part of the LR, that used to

be a garage, my LR is L shaped. 

One wall was pretty uneven, so I did

a coat of mud on half of it and the

seams on another wall....I then

wet sanded it all and painted the two

walls.  I didn't have the largest mud

knife here, so I need to do another

coat when we change the paint color

in LR, DR and kitchen.  They are all

open to each other, so they need to

be painted the same color.  Although,

I have thought of painting some walls

a different color, just not the whole

room. We moved some heavy furniture

and hundreds of books!  I will show

some pictures soon, I still have to put

the bears in place, and put all my banks

up on the top of the cubbie shelves. I

haven't done anything yet, today....I did

the wet sanding and painting yesterday,

plus moved we the books, again and moved

the furniture.....I loaded the dishwasher,

ironed a shirt and took a shower before I

went to bed and I crashed!  I had things

hurting that I forgot I had!

Well, onto the antique mall treasures...

I bought some of this on the way down to

Texas, some of it in our town, and some

on the way back.  I wanted to stop at one

mall on the way back, because I had seen

something in it earlier, but of course, it

was gone...So, being the great hunter that

I am....LOL....I stopped in one that I hadn't

been to, for a long time.  I got the crock,

the wooden bowl and the little cheese box,

with the flowers and Amish children on it,

there.

I didn't know this had a lining, until I got

home with it, and my hubby opened it. 

I love this garden tote, I got it, the little

churn and the grater on the way down.

The grater has openings that remind me

of a mouth with teeth, it was made in

England....I hung it up on the ladder in

the kitchen, already.  I got the box with

the cat on it, at GW on the way down, I

am going to paint it, one of these days...

I thought about painting the bowl with

the watermelon, but I like it and I have

some of them in the kitchen, right now,

so I will keep it the way it is, and use it

with my summer decor.  I am going to

be changing out my red flowers and

things for Fall flowers and decor, soon.

Well, I better get to work finishing up

the living room....My hubby got to sit

outside and read while I was mudding

and painting, he had to keep and eye on

Chum, he has gone over the fence, once.

I sure didn't want Chum to be my little

helper, on this project, I could just see

him tracking paint all over the carpet!

He has been in a grape vine basket, with

a round bottom, just rolling back and

forth!  He got under some of the papers

in it, with only his head and tail showing.

I got a picture of him, before I went to bed,

I guess he likes to rock and roll!

Until next time~
