Since I have Thunder, an English Setter, I of course am attracted to anything with hunting dogs. Make it vintage and I am especially happy. This English Setter decanter we found in an antique store while on vacation, several years ago. I was thrilled to find it. This first embroidered scene I found on Ebay. [...]
Here is the dresser I restored for our new grandaughter that’s was born in July. I sanded off the old finish, cleaned up the pulls and lock covers, then refinished the whole thing. I contact papered the drawers, and voila! Here it is before…. Here it is after. We delivered it to my son and his wife [...]
I have a thing for metal chairs. I think they are so practical~ able to be left out in the weather, they give an air of times gone by, and they look good red. What else could you ask for? Two weeks ago I showed some metal chairs on VTT that we had found on the [...]
These are the great vintage finds from the garage sale I went to. This picnic basket is in almost perfect condition. There are no breaks in the outside and it is lined with RED(my fave) and has service for 6 of plates, cups and silverware. I am not fond of the tableware but the basket [...]
Vintage Thingie Thursday is here again and so are my fun collection of ceramic animals. I didn’t realize until tonight that I have more pigs than anything else. I am not a pig collector by any means. Maybe they just liked to paint pigs back when these were made so there are more of them to choose from. Or more [...]
Trying to think of something interesting to write for this post and right under my nose were two vintage thingies just waiting to inspire me. So here is a vintage aqua canning jar filled with marbles. Some are really old, others belonged to my boys growing up, In any case, they are colorful in the light. The other [...]
Found this guy at the Madison Bouckville Antique show last summer. It is an old soup terrine. It says Italy on the bottom. It appears pretty old, but even if it isn’t, as soon as I saw that face I knew I had to get it. That and the aqua color on the bottom made it irresistible to [...]
While searching to find the right thing for VTT, my Amaryllis caught my eye. The pot that it is in is very old. My mother in law gave it to me at least 25 years ago and it was vintage then. She called it a bean pot, I think I would call it a crock. [...]
I found this santa at a garage sale several years ago. It stands about 4 feet tall and is made out of wood. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw it. And it was only 4 dollars. What a buy! It always feels like Christmas when we bring Santa out. I just love him. [...]
This flower pot is one of my favorites! I just love it. My neighbor threw it away. Yes, you heard me right. She threw it away. So I quickly ran across the street and scooped it up. Her husband was into gardening. He had a greenhouse and many plants. After he died, she weeded through [...]
