Trip Results!

Wow, did I have a great time shopping this weekend! I have so much to show you, I didn't know where to begin. I've decided to just start at the top of my photos and work my way down. It will take days, so stay tuned! This is a redware dog ashtray. You can put the cigarette in it's mouth and smoke comes out of it's nose.
Found this lovely batter bowl stuffed into a large bin! It just about made my day!

This is a ceramic blue bird shaker.

Turned it over and it had a noise maker in it! Doesn't work anymore but I still think it's neat!

Wooden children's blocks. I might have to keep these.

A huge pile of cross stitch pamphlets. Some of these are some of my favorite ones to do!

Set of three large beaded bracelets. These look awesome worn one at a time or all at once for a big, bold statement!

Wonderful celluloid buckle! So art deco!

I just thought this was cute! Reminds me of a skiing bunny. It still has its whiskers!

And here's my butter cutter! It's an awesome old enameled yellow.

What's it?




First let me say, these are NOT my photos. I purchased one of these and don't have the photos ready yet. Mine is a yellow base, it's very heavy metal with a porcelain enamel coating.

Now, go ahead, give it a guess! What is it?

Photo Challenge Part Two!

This entry comes from SESCo! Features her glycerine soap and weeds from her yard. LOL, just kidding.
What can I say? I did say go outside and find something in your backyard and take photos of it for a listing. Next time I'll think more about it before I issue a challenge!

This comes from GoodGosh. Nuff said. LOLOL!

This is American Beauty Two, starring Owl Spacey. The movie starts out with Owl laying in a bed of rose petals. To see the rest of Owl's story, see this listing from DoodleVintagePlus!I have 11 different entries right now! I'd love to get one more different shops so I can make a treasury from them!

Photo Challenge!

I've issued a challenge to anyone that wants to try it. The challenge is to go out to your backyard and use something from your yard for a listing. You can bring the item indoors if you want.

You can click on the underlined shop name to be taken directly to the shops!

The first one submitted is this beauty from VintageEmbellishment! You can visit her shop to see the actual listing. N is for NEST! Oh, so pretty!The next three photos were submitted by Timeless Journey! Her barn wood creations are wonderful and so are her photos! I love this photo, it looks like the white flowers are a print inside the frame!

It would have been smarter on my end to wait to issue a challenge until I had more items in bloom! But NO, I wanted to do it now. So, I don't have many items I can use outside. You can see my listings at VintageStation.

Isn't this a neat idea! Comes from ircrafty.



From countrysoapsbymarlen come the next three photos!Blooming Tulip Soap!From Peppercorns2. Um, are those apples real?The following two photos come from PaintedMemoriesByRos! They are her lilacs and bleeding hearts from her yard!From MySeriousSide is this wonderful flower frog! You do know you can use flower frogs for place cards at your next party, right Martha?The next three photos are from JustJanesThings!

Latest Finds!

I've really been lazy about blogging lately. I've had some amazing finds lately and haven't shown them. It's time to change that!
Here's one I just couldn't resist. Made from all seashells, except for the eyes, how cute is this? Okay, so it's not the cutest, but still! It has a face only a mother could love.

This is strange. No markings on it. One side is deep enough to plant a small cactus or something but the other side isn't deep enough, what's up with that?


Party Invites that are puzzles! You write the information on them, take them apart and mail. It says they require a .13 cent stamp.

I almost passed this up, it was so filthy dirty with something that resembled a green moss! I soaked it twice in dishwashing soap and it still didn't come off. I finally sprayed it with Scrubbing Bubbles so they'd get into the crevices and even then, had to do it twice and use a toothbrush on it. Now I'm glad I didn't pass on it!

Two mushroom mugs, Made In Japan!

Mug by Fostoria!

Love the characters on it!

This just breaks my heart. Someone took 25 Wade animal figures and threw them into an old, used bread bag. Only about 17 survived.


The giraffe is awesome! Only one survived :(
