Treasure Hunting

Well, I hope you all are well and

safe!  There were tornadoes and

warnings in TX and our part of 

Oklahoma, yesterday!  The alarm

went off for a tornado warning, for

the southeastern part, of our county.

We got the edge of the storm, but I

don't think one touched down. I saw

one on the news last night, that went

across the freeway and the guy 

filming, it was right on the edge of it!

He is lucky he didn't get hurt.

Enough of tornadoes, I wanted to show

you all the things I got over the last two

weekends.

We went to a few garage sales and I got

most of this stuff at them. I got the Three

Crows Coffee sign and the little shelf made 

from a measuring stick from an antique 

mall.  I thought I would repaint the blocks

and make some pantry cakes with the molds.

I have quite a few molds, now....The can 

opener is really old and still  has the screws

to hang it on the cupboard, or wall. The 
little firkin doesn't have a lid, but I don't 
care, I  got it for 25 cents!....It's my first
real one.

It needs a good cleaning, then I will make 

room on my hutch for it.
 

I got this big crock at the fleamarket, 

last weekend, along with the quilt rack

and the corner shelf.  I think the crock is

a 6 gallon, although it doesn't have a 

number on it. It used to have wire and 

wooden handles on it, but they are gone,

now. I do have one that is larger and it is 

an 8 gallon, so that is why I think this 

one is a 6 gallon. The crock is outside, 

waiting for a good scrubbing.

I am hoping that the quilt rack will fit 

at the beginning of the hall, I will have 

to do some measuring to see, yet. I think 

I will paint it, black with red over top.  

I have some craft projects to finish and 

then I will pick a nice day and paint 

all the things I want to get painted....

I have several things to make over and

furniture that I want to move.

I got this chair at an estate sale, last 

Sunday.  It has several layers of paint

on it, but I am going to sand it and paint

it black.  

I like the shape of it, especially the

back.  It is really heavy compared to

the other chair they had, so I think 

it might be oak.....I am wanting to find

some bow back chairs, I think my big

brother is on the look out for some for

me.  He is going to change a table I 

have, to a harvest/farm table, one

of these days. 

Well, that is it for me today, I hope 

you all have a great week! 

Until next time....
