Saturdays make me smile ;-)


Happy Saturday ~ I am just gazing at the flowers that my daughter brought me.  They make me smile ;-)


Aren't these spider mums just wonderful?

The lilacs are blooming and they smell absolutely wonderful.  Mr. Vintage and I hit a yard sale down the street and I picked up a milk glass vase ..so I had to fill it!


It's too bad that lilacs don't last long.  I just love them ~ don't you?

Well I will share the other goodies that I picked up at the yard sale now ~


Jadite tea cups and saucers.  I LOVE jadite ~


Mr. Vintage spotted these two turquoise refrigerator drawers.  50 cents each ~!  I am going to store onions and potatoes in them


And an enamelware coffee pot and little pot ~ these are going in the camper ~





What are  you doing this fine Saturday?  I can't wait to hear ;-)

(((Hugs)))

    I AM SO JEALOUS...do you know how hard it is to find jadite ANYWHERE here - even in the antique stores! Last Sunday we went to the flea and I found a jadite pitcher and cakestand...be STILL my heart (I'm posting pics next week!) Today - we are working and getting excited about our junkin' trip on Monday (pray for no rain...hee hee hee!!)

    I'm loving your flowers, especially the lilacs, as ours are not nearly ready to bloom yet due to all the rain and cold we've had. You got some great finds at the sale! Love the old crisper bins! Who'd have thought to save those? Just for you!! Enjoy your weekend. Pamela

    I love Jadeite too. My Mom and Dad passed away and my sister is living in the house. She told me the other day I need to come and get the dishes. It is a whole set. That and so much depression glass. I keep putting it off but I know I need to do it. It is 1200 hundred miles away. :)
    I love your camper too. Blogger lost all of my blogs I followed it is so nice to get caught up. How are your chicks?

    I haven't gone any farther than the mailbox. I worked in the garden. Baked a dessert. And plan a night of reading. So exciting, huh?

    The Jadite is such a wonderful find! I would love to find a coffee mug to remind my of my Daddy! I've been reading and we even had a rain shower this afternoon! We had breakfast with friends...the perfect Saturday! ♥

    Marianne, Love the happy colors of your spider mums, gerber daisies and also your Jadeite, which is a good find. Several years ago I started buying pieces to go with my grandmother's Jadeite mugs and then Martha Stewart became interested in it and the prices sky rocketed. So, being the thrifty person I am, I stopped buying it and sold it at a yard sale. :)
    Hope you have a nice Sunday,
    Babs

    Your flowers are beautiful and you found some neat, thrifty treasures. Lucky you that Mr. Vintage will go garage sale-ing with you.

    The Hillbilly Potting Shed is very cute!

    Great finds, Olive! We were partying outdoor last Sat. I worked so hard in the garden (Come see it!) before then and I think hubby was so impressed that he invited a few couples over and showed it off, lol. We had a swimming party and although the temp went down to 67 degrees, the guests were still able to swim because of the heated pool. Your photos are very pretty!..Christine

    Hi Marianne...thanks for visiting my blog and your nice comment about my porch. These treasures are delightful! I can't believe the jadeite. At our antique mall it's almost unaffordable. Well done!
    Have a great week ~Ann
