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)))

"April showers bring May flowers"

Have a blessed peaceful Sunday ~


What are your plans for the day?

Sweet Sweet Spring ~



Sweet, Sweet Spring has arrived ~ the temps right now are in the 60's.  Ahhhhhh ~
When Spring arrives I come alive ~ I want to refresh, fluff my nest ~ I think you know....



This week I made some laundry detergent.  We can't get Zote  soap here in Canada, so I used Linda Soap.



I love how it smells and I love that you use so little, very economical ;-)



I have been wanting to take my cupboard doors off for such a long time.  Well, I finally did it, but didn't like the look.  So, Mr. Vintage added bead board (actually Pine tongue and groove) to the back of the cupboards.



Now I love the way they look.  I put my jadite in this cupboard, so that I can look at it always ~





I had to add a little pink ~





I really do like the way it looks.  The bathroom is still a work-in-progress, but hopefully, I can show you that soon.

I tweaked my mantel a little ~



I love these blue bottles ~



and of course, my little birds ~



Well, I am off to do a little more fluffing ~

What have you been up to lately, fluffing? painting? creating?

Please let me know, I love to hear from you

Have a wonderful Sunny Day ~

(((Hugs)))
