Saved from the Landfill ~

Hi Prim Friends!!!

Over the weekend I had an opportunity to go through a house that was going to be ripped down. All contents in the home was going to the landfill.

 

I was so excited ~ but sad at the same time.

The husband had passed and the wife/Mom was put into a nursing home.  The kids didn't want anything that was left in the home or the home itself.

A friend of ours works for a company that does odd jobs, landscaping and removal etc...

So of course I'm going to go ~ I love to go pickin'!

 

I was amazed at the condition of the home.  There was a lot of dust and cob webs,

to be blunt it looked like a hoarders home.  

This is going to be a dirty job!!! 

 

Here's some of the goodies I found ~

I have a fetish for oil cans ~ my sweet husband found these.

vintage bottles and pans

red handled kitchen ware

vintage scissors

hat pins

crystal egg/veggie serving tray

Thought this was kinda unique ~ I collect tin ware

My husband found this and thought I would like this ~ heck yeah!!!

These tin boxes are kinda beat up ~ but I really liked them.

vintage washboard

 

&

a tin box filled with vintage keys

 

There were other items we found  ~ vintage wooden rulers, old metal gas cans, bushel baskets and vintage mirrors to name a few.

 

I really did have fun and would love to do that again.

Thanks so much Chris and Jane for letting us tag a long.

 

 

Did you see anything you liked???

 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

 

Until Next Time

Save something from going to the landfill!

I need some Sunshine!

It's been some kind of weird weather we've been having lately.

One day it is bitter cold and then the next it is snowing or raining.

Today it's warm 47 degrees ~ and foggy ~ kinda like spring.

I have a small pond forming in my backyard.

But storm Denise is suppose to be rolling in and dumping some more snow on us.

Depending on which weather man you listen to we're suppose to get anywhere from 2 to 12 inches.

You know with the warm temps that it's going to be the wet heavy stuff ~ yuk!

I REALLY NEED SOME SUNSHINE!

I'm sorry I haven't been around much.

I've been working on things for my website, my booths, and swap goodies.

I also thinking about putting items in another shop.

Plus I've been working and doing those dreaded taxes ~ did I ever tell you I hate doing taxes!!!

I REALLY NEED SOME SUNSHINE!!!

Recently I did receive some sunshine in the mail ~ Yahoo!!!

I won some awesome Valdani thread from Valerie over at The Wooden Acorn.
