Hello my friends ~ First of all, I want to wish all my American Blogger Friends a Happy 4th of July week. Have fun, stay safe and enjoy ;-)
I thought I would share with you some of my treasures that I have picked up this weekend ~
This was a tin topped kitchen table and Mr. Vintage cut it down for me and now it is my coffee table. I just love it ~!
Can't hurt this table. You just wipe it off. Love it ;-)
I love this little chippy dresser. Mr. Vintage and I picked this up and left it just the way it was. It's now in my living room and holds by candles and my table cloths and napkins.
This little green chair was perfect for the little corner of my kitchen ;-)
A few little treasures for my little high chair. I finally got around to painting this chair. I found it at Pat's yard sale.
It was Canada Day yesterday so we have the day off today. I am going to finish my laundry and do some fluffing ~
What are you doing today?
Can't wait to hear
((((Hugs))))

Happy Sunday everyone ~ Mr. Vintage and I were gone camping for a few days of rest and relaxation ~ ahhhhh ~ it felt so good to get away ~
If you remember, I bought an iron bed at a yard sale ~ well, I have it all set up in my new bedroom and I love it ~
Love, Love, Love these little pillows ~
My pink milk glass lamps are just perfect for this room ~
Love my little dresser ~
This pink and blue pitcher is just what I needed on the dresser ~
I just love my new bedroom ~ what do you think? Please let me know ~ I can't wait to hear from you

Happy Saturday everyone ~
Last time, I told you Mr. Vintage was up to something with these ~
Well, I have always wanted a farmhouse table or harvest table if you will ~ Mr. Vintage picked these pieces of lumber up out of the garbage ~ yep, out of the garbage.
Then.......
He did this ~
Then it was like this ~
And now ~ it looks like this ;-)
We picked up the little side cupboard at a yard sale and Mr. Vintage put a top on it to match the table ~
Ofcourse, I had to add a few things ~
And I moved a few things around ~ you know how it is ~
I also swapped out the curtains for a softer feel. I picked these up at St. Vinny's for $2.00 ~
I love my new/old farmhouse kitchen ~
Thank you Mr. Vintage ~ you are the VERY best ;-)
What have you been up to?
Can't wait to hear
((((Hugs))))

Happy Sunday everyone ~ Mr. Vintage and I went to a friend's house yesterday ~ Don't you love this barn?
Pat was having a sale ~ Get Ready, this is a man's yard sale ~ It was so fun ;-)
Talk about man's eye candy ~
These old gas pumps are great ~ Mr. Vintage wants one ~
Love these vintage bar stools ~
Let's browse, shall we?
This is quite the man cave ~ well, there was something there for me ~
I couldn't resist this little high chair ~ I'll show you what I do with it later ~ then, oh my, could it be?
Yes, Yes, Yes ~
This had my name written all over it ~ Mr. Vintage knew I would like it. Thank you honey. It came home with us, I'll show you the room when it's done ~
Thank you Pat for being a great host at your sale. We had such fun ~
Now, my friends, I have to tell you, Mr. Vintage is up to something ~
It all starts with this ~
Next time, I'll show you what he's been up to
(((Hugs)))

Hello my friends ~
Well, today I am a little older, a little wiser and a little giddy ~ today is my birthday. I am now oh gosh, can I be? 54 years old. My, my, my how time flies ~ I can still remember being in my early twenties. I still feel the same. Well, with a few more wrinkles, I think I still look the same.
As a birthday present to me, I made this ~ with the help of Mr. Vintage
I just thought this was so darned cute ~
Well, my friends, I am off to celebrate another year. Have you created anything lately? Please do tell. You MUST tell. I love it when you share with me.
Have a wonderful day
((((Hugs))))

Mommy, can I come in and give you a birthday kiss?
Yes, Chessie, in a minute, but keep your nose off the window please

Hello ~ I have sooo missed you my friends ~
We have been busy, trying to sell my ex-husband's house (how I HATE that word). He left my daughter in a total mess, with tons of bills and alot of worries. We have been trying to take a little of the load from her, as she is only 23 years old.
I have been scrubbing, washing, fixing up the house that he left behind ~
This is what is looks like now ~
Unfortunately, he was a VERY sick man and the house went to ruins. The grass was two feet high, the gardens were a mess (full of weeds). I have been working every day, getting there every day after work and trying to make the house presentable. I was exhausted and had to take a break from blogging. Mr. Vintage has been the usual sweetheart and has done as much as he can in his present physical condition.
We are trying to sell it ourselves, we have had a bunch of lookers but no takers. I'm just about done. Time to list it ~ We have tried, the best that we can ~
Hopefully, we can sell it soon and take the burden off our shoulders.
BUT ~ after all the work was done there ~ Mr. Vintage surprised me.
He has a BIG, BIG, surprise ~ I will show you soon ~!
I promise
I really miss you my sweet friends
(((Hugs)))
Marianne
