I'm Still Around!

Hey everyone, I haven't fallen off the 
map, I have just been busy. I have 
been to Texas, to our house a few times 
and I keep bringing back more 
things to sell at the antique mall. 
I am on a mission to get rid of a lot 
of stuff! Sorting, cleaning and pricing, 
has kept me 
busy, plus I work at the antique mall, 
besides taking care of the booth. I don't 
remember if I said, that we had a lot of 
dead trees in our yard, from the drought, 
last summer. Of course, we couldn't tell 
until the leaves started coming on. 
Well, we had 11, just on 
the half acre the house is sitting on 

and I don't have any idea how many on the 
acre of woods, behind the house. They don't 
really matter, though. We are not the 
only ones with a lot of dead trees.

Well, I went down and a tree service cut 
7 of them and we will do the rest 
of them..........fun, fun, fun....

I have gotten some goodies while out and 
about and I thought you might like to see 
some of them.

 I got the old bonnet in an antique mall

some place, can't remember where. I got

the old wooden bowl in a store that had

been closed up and it was open one 

weekend. You couldn't even get around

in the store, there was a path down the

middle and that was it! The creamer, 

plate and cups go to the set of blue and

 white dishes, I have been collecting. 

Here's the plate, they are "Historical

Ports of England" and the plates, bowls, 

bread plates, saucers have different 

scenes for the different ports.

 This one doesn't go with the set, but

I had to have it. This is the "Mayflower"

and it goes well with my other dishes.

I found this hooked foot stool, in a

 little town, on the way back home on

one of the trips.

 

I won this cute bunny and it came some 

time, last month. I am amiss for not posting 

this wonderful win, sooner! I now have two

bunnies in the house. :) Not much for 

decorating, huh?  Anyway, I won it from

Darlene of Three D Style, she makes some 

wonderful things, so click here to go 

check out her blog and get entered for 

her May giveaway!  I just loved this 

bunny the moment I saw it! Thanks

again, Darlene! 

 I will leave you with a couple pictures

of my big boy posing.... I even got one

of him yawning, guess he was getting 

bored with me taking pictures of him!

He is sitting on a table made from an 

old treadle sewing machine, which is

his perch to look out the windows of

the French doors to see what is 

happening on the patio and in the 

back yard.

Oh, before I forget, I was lucky to 
receive a wonderful new magazine 
called"Romantic Prairie Style" 
from Brenda of Pine Tree Prims, 
just by being the first one 
to say I would like to have it!

Thanks again,  Brenda, I love it! If 
you see it at the store, check it out!

That's it for tonight, hope you all 

missed me!...lol...

I have a plan to decorate my yard and all

for the Summer, so I will try to get that 

done, soon. Then I will share pictures of

it all with you.

Thanks for stopping by and for those 

of you that take the time to leave me 

a comment, I really appreciate it and

love hearing from you all.

Until next time, I hope you all have

a safe holiday weekend!
