Hello my friends and Happy Sunday ~

The sun is shining and my fairies are happy ~

I am happy too ~  Let me show you what Mr. Vintage and I have been up to ~

Our back yard used to look like this ~

Mr Vintage and I were tired of the upkeep and we didn't really use it that much ~

We decided we would take the pool out.  

We needed a little yard for Chico.  You see, hawks are very prevalent in this area and they will swoop down and pick up Chico for lunch ~

I needed to know that he is safe at all times and he needed a place to play.  So we built Chico a little yard ~

I love, love, love the little  picket fence and the gate.  

Mr. Vintage and I like to sit and have coffee here in the morning ~

Chico and Sammy love to play on the deck ~

We're not quite done yet. I still have to paint the fence, but sometimes I like it just as it is ~

What do you think?

Please let me know, I don't know whether to paint it white, leave it or paint it barn red ~

I need your help

(((Hugs)))

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 ~

We had to clean out the garden too ~

Everything is just popping ~

I also created a little fairy house ~

Love my garden fairy ~

Chico loves to be outside with me ~
