Take Care and Have a Happy Mothers Day!!

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

Just messing around

I was just piddeling around today with my camera, and taking some pictures for e-bay, so, I shot a couple of my dining room area.  Iam always changing stuff, so today I came up with this arrangement.  Deer horns, a small inital pillow, and tussie cone I made, and some tea stained coffee filter flowers. 

My homemade candle holders from posts and the once green iron pot, now white, with a revised ping pong paddle that I made to look like a auction paddle, I painted it and added numbers and ruffed it up a little. 

My newest obsession....no, not the trophys.(they are my old obsession), but, the altar crucifix's...they are so awesome.....Always on the hunt for those and trophys!!

Looking at the side wall of my dining room, A friend gave me those awesome columns, can you believe that?  He also gave me the window frame up there with the altar crosses on it.  He's a guy, so, I guess he dont know what he gave away!!  He he.. I'll never tell!!     Thanks for stopping by!!   Rhonda

Things I have purchased from blogger's

First off I must say, If I were a wealthy woman, I would be broke!  I love so much to visit around bloggers shops and sites, I get so lost in them and I love it!!  I wanted to share some of my purchases with you guys, such as the bottle drying rack I purchased from Ruth @ http://www.thebeautifullife.com/.  It is very handy.  I have also just got in the mail yesterday from Ruth the tin mans puff heart, subway art matches and the 2 sacred heart's.  Stole the idea for the puff heart...sorta!

I also purchased the awesome glove mold from Andrea @ http://www.fadedplains.com/, I have it sitting on a shelf in my kitchen!!  I haven't written on it yet, but, I will!! 

I have totally been dying for one of these bottle carriers, but, did not want to sell my first born to get one!  I found this one from Margo's etsy shop @ www.etsy.com/robolady/shop. 

I also just had to have these old flower frogs from www.etsy.com/lisabretrostyles/shop they awesome for holding any type of cards, recipes, etc.  

Iam waiting for the mailman to bring my lavender sachets....another trophy, and 2 crucifix cross's. 
Iam wondering....Is Donald Trump single???????

Thanks for stopping by!!  Rhonda
