Estate Sale Stuff and Some Photos

I really, really wish I was a good blogger and posted more often like you gals!  I have stuff to share most of the time, just no energy to get it done. 

I have mentioned the big estate sale that happens once a month in Mobile before, but I really found a few good things yesterday! (Good stuff to me anyway!) 

                          I have been on the hunt for small crocks, and I found
                                            4 at the estate sale...2 in this photo.....

                                 and the other 2 in this photo. (yes, 2 are alike)

                         I also found the smaller cement planter this time. 
                         I found a larger one a while back.  Iam waiting for
                         my Hydrangeas to get bigger, to fill it up.  Love my Mary
                         collection too!

                
             Iam hoarding more and more ironstone..
Its a sickness you know.  Somebody help me!!
Have a great weekend Ladies!!  Rhonda
P.S.  I guess my follower list is gone now....Dang it!!

My "Almost Birthday" Stuff

Hi all, I hope you all had a great Easter!  We just hung out around the house and grilled some elusive steaks!!  Yummoo.  Well, its getting close to my birthday, so I asked for my birthday money a little early so I could visit my favorite junk store.Mr. Bills,..If you want it, he's got it.  I also had a visit with TJ Maxx....Here is what I got from there.......I have never paid 30.00 for a pillow before.......but, well here it is!

I also have been wanting a bus roll or some type of subway art.  I found this at the Maxx too.  It works for me!!

I found this vintage chocolate banner already framed at Mr. Bills and hung it in my kitchen.

Loving those colors and chocolate...of course!!

Also got some great old vintage rulers and put them in my jar..

Look at this really old print I found!  Loving the colors and landscape.  The smaller one is my Granny when she was very young.

A overall shot of the cabinet and the junk therein.

This old heater use to have those brick like thingies across the back.  It was in my Grandmothers house for years..I dug it out of a junk pile at my Dad's. I added my mercury glass I found at Goodwill. 

I found a few other goodies and finally some Lavender!  I'll show that after I plant it!!

Take care Ladies!!  Be back soon!!

A FEW GOOD THINGS

Hi ladies...its been a little while...Got a few good things to show you!

I found this huge florist's basket a few days go...I added some of my vintage tennis rackets and sat it in front of my fireplace.

I had also been looking for one of the cement planters and found it at an estate sale last weekend.  This booger is heavy!!  (found the little duck too!!)

Yet another garden item that I have inside.  These awesome cement birds..I have been pineing for some of these for ages!! Found at my most favorite junk store!!

Iam loving this awesome jadite green drink mixer too!!  I found it at the same estate sale!!

I found this silver metal compote bowl at the Goodwill here in my little town.  She was loaded with grease..Yuck...after a good scrubbing, shes looking good!!

Hope you all are having a great day!!  Rhonda

Sepia Tones for White Wednesday

I thought I would try out my lack of photography skills with the sepia tone setting on my camera. I have had the camera for a while, just not much experimenting with it...so what do ya think?

Old tin heart I found at an antiques shop in Mobile, I added the "ribbons".  I wanted this eye chart for the typology. (is that a word?)

My latest and most favorite crucifix, old sap bucket and giant chunk of coral.

I recovered my vintage milking stool with a vintage flour sack.  Ripped up a old green deco scale for the numbered "wheel".  The old bottle under the cloche is kind of silvery and awesome.

I finally was able to find this old vintage glass fish tank, and filled it with display stuffes. 
Hope you have enjoyed my whites...just ignore the dust!  hehe!!

JUST WONDERING.....

I was just piddlin around here in the blogs and e-bay, and realized that, although I collect a few different things, I find that I go ape pooh crazy looking for those things, until that crazy obsessive desire passes, and I move onto another crazy obsessive desire.  Iam thinking that maybe this is not normal....how bout you???

Right now its silver plate loving cup trophys, and altar crucifix's.  (Just ignore that nail up there).  I have been trying to wind down some of my past obsessions by selling them on e-bay, but, in turn I just buy more of the current one. 

I think I need professional help!!!                   Rhonda
