My Perfect Gray

Hey everyone,  I have been very busy lately.  I have painted all of the ugly green thay my renters left, to a what I think is MY perfect gray!!  Look closely at the photos..Dutchboy/Old Driftwood.  I have had a yardsale, trying to eliminate some junk, only to haul most of it to the Goodwill.  Anyhow, here are some pictures....

Can you believe Mr weed had this

ladder at the hunting camp? 

The table I had on lay-a-way.

Stenciled burlap bags.

My perfect gray.

Theres more..I will show you later.  Its been pretty sad around here lately.  A good friend died..Please pray for his family!  Thanks,  Rhonda

To Skrimps or not to Skrimps

Yesterday, my sister and I went to the Gulf Shores Shrimp Festival.  We both have lived round these parts for-ev-a, and have never been.  What bad Southern girls we are! It was hot, but, not as hot as it could have been.  I had just been sick as a dog the day before..(Friday), So I wasn't up for any skrimps...so I opted for a yummy fresh made funnel cake.   I still wasn't feeling too good...but, I was determined to go this year..especially since I had missed all of the Texas and Minnesota stuff.  My youngest son went with us, of course he was not the least bit thrilled to be there..especially after hearing some Buffet style music, so, he decided to thank me for it by vomiting on both of our shoes.  I had sandals on.  He had just ate a McDonalds happy meal, and it didnt make us happy at all.  Shortly there after...we left.  But, at least now I can say that I have been to the Gulf Shores Shrimp Festival!!  They had lots of expensive food and craft items...high dollar craft items...like paintings and stuff.  We left only with a bag full of our own shoes covered with vomitus.  Fun Huh????

My Small Attempt.....

At Fall decorating:

I found this iron tea/flower cart on the side of the road..I painted it, it was black.

This is a old Ice cream maker can, filled it with lemons (fake), a twig, and hung my handmade handprint on it.

My front door with a jackolantern wreath I got on clearance for 2.00 last year.

Got this kitty on clearance too!  The basket of fake pumpkins and gourds and old flash cards, inside the foyer under a table. 

This folks sums up my hallo/fall decorations for this year!!

I'AM STILL HERE

I know, Iam one bad blogger....I have had a sick kid, trying to gather up more junk for my huge inside the house sale, selling on e-bay..(almost got that table paid for), and a visit from my oldest son,..I could keep on. 
Anyway, I wanted to show you guys a couple of awesome things I have found recently.

Some old English Ironstone and old atlas jar from the monthly estate sale. $1.00-$3.00

This vintage collapsible basket from Goodwill for 1.79, and these old paint brushes, from e-bay, for 4.99 plus 10.00 for shipping!

This cool iron urn/cache pot from Southeastern Salvage for 8.00.  (probably will paint it)

I soooo wish you could see this up close!!  Its a Family Record/Tree.  The earliest date on this litograph is 1758 and the latest is 1888.  This is by far my best find ever!!  It was only 15.00 framed, at the estate sale! 

Hope you all have been good...I have more stuff, and will get it posted soon!!

NIFTY THRIFTY TUESDAYS

I tell ya...if I don't stay away from GW...I will never get my table paid off!!  I have almost got a whole set of this pfaltzgraff heritage white set..the more trips I make..the more I find..  I also found these 3 venetian type mirrors!! 

The worst picture ever!!  Too many reflections!!!!

I LOVE the aqua bird nest and planter! IAM LINKING WITH COASTAL CHARM'S NIFTY THRIFTY TUESDAYS------> OVER THERE!!

Remember this stuff??

Remember this stuff I showed you a couple of weeks ago?
Well this is what I did with it:  The 47.00 antique table is in my kitchen, with the Heaven sign hanging on the wall above it.

This is what I did with the flax bag:  I bought a body pillow from Old Time Pottery, and put it on my ugly love seat.  The other blue target burlap I made into a pillow and closed the end with 6 strips of lace, (can't see in pic).

The large lantern that I paid way too much for:  Almost filled up with baby shoes I have been collecting...These include my babies shoes.

Oh, and remember how I have been dying for a French bottle drying rack??  Well, look at the pics and you will see it it all of its lusciousness!!  It not antique, but, fine with me.  I know other folks have been wanting one and I don't have a problem telling you where I got mine:  http://www.thebeautifullife.com/  it was $85.00 including shipping, and you have to assemble it.

The silver plate pitcher is filled with dried hydrangea's from my yard, I forgot the picture. In one of the pic's up there is a antique tray that I covered the bottom with some of the Graphics Fairy's stuff.

Reckon that's all for now got more stuff to show soon!!  Toodles!  Rhonda
