Against a Brick Wall

  

Let me just tell ya ladies, This junkin and fixin business is like a crazy obsession....My SUV takes on a mind of her own..and before I know it....well, you know the rest of this story!!  I was just tinkering around, (should have been cleaning) and re-done this brick wall in my sunroom with a old window and shutters. 

Just ignore the music wreath......Old news.....

I added deer antliers to each shutter....

And just sat a old pediment on the top of the window

I found this old typewriter stand at a new junk store here in my little town and loaded it up with my cement birds, old metal box, stamp holder,  etc........ 
I've been lazy with the blogging thing lately.....I'll try to do better!~!           Rhonda

                           Old Globe Bank for 99 cents at Goodwill.

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
