Treasure Hunt ~ what fun~!


Hello my friends ~ I hope you are all well and enjoying the spring weather ;-)

Mr. Vintage and I went to Aberfoyle, Ontario this past weekend with our good friends Karen and Mike ~ we had so much fun.  I would like to share our treasures with you ~


I love old blue bottles.  We found these at an estate sale on the way home.   



I especially love this little violet ink well ~



I added some labels to these ~ sigh ~

I have been looking for a dough bowl for quite some time ~ well, be still my heart



just look at this beauty and it was the cheapest at the whole antique show!  I just love it ~



This little butter press had to come home with me !~



I had the wooden scoops and the ticking napkins I found on etsy ~  love the farmhouse look..





I also found this old box.  I put all of my cutting boards in it and hot pads so that they are handy when I need them ~





I also found this ironstone bowl ~ love, love, love it







I found this sweet frame a while ago and decided to put my mom and dad's picture in it.  I think it's perfect ~



My farmhouse kitchen is starting to take shape.  We had such fun treasure hunting ~

Have you been treasure hunting lately?  What wonderful treasures did you find?

Next time, I'll update you on the progress of the Chico Picket Fence ~

Oh My I am sore ~


Hello my friends ~ It has been quite a while since I have posted ~ It has been very busy around the Vintage Home ~



Spring is here at last ~




We have been busy digging and splitting plants and redoing the gardens ~



We had to clean out the garden too ~



Everything is just popping ~

I also created a little fairy house ~





Love my garden fairy ~



Here is my other garden fairy ~ O.K. He's an Angel ;-)





Chico loves to be outside with me ~





We have other projects on the go  ~ I will share them with you soon ~



Thank you for stopping by ~ I am so looking forward to sharing the other things that are going on ~

Have you been gardening?  Please share

Junkin' day ~


Hello my friends ~ I hope all is well with you ~

Last Saturday, Mr. Vintage and I went junkin'.  It was a cold rainy day ~ so we decided to go and our friends Mike and Karen came along ~  We had such fun~!



I did pick up a few treasures which I would like to share with you ~



I picked up this cute little quilt at a yard sale ~



Quilt love ~





Everyone KNOWS that I am a plate, dish, addict ~



This just had to come home with me.



It is right at home now in my cabinet ~



Then, Mr. Vintage spotted this at a craft fair ~ 



It is now in my kitchen ;-)



I couldn't resist this little wire candle holder ~





A well used cutting board ~



And these lovely hot pads.  I use them a lot so as not to burn the counter tops or my table.  I thought these were especially pretty.





Well, that was our junkin' escapade.  We had such fun ~!

Have you  been out junkin' lately?  What treasures have you found?

Hope your Sunday is bright and beautiful.  

I am sending prayers to all those in Boson and in Texas.  May God grant you the peace that passes all understanding.

(((Hugs)))
