Lost Treasures


Nothing excites me more than hunting for an unknown treasure... and then, finding it. Yesterday I was out and about searching for discarded and unwanted treasures, when a lady come up to me and says "I have been noticing how you are dressed, the same way my daughter dresses. I want to find some things like the stuff you are wearing for my daughter. What do you think of this jacket?" One look at the jacket and I wanted to attack the woman, grab the jacket and run out the door with it, it was so darn cute. Instead, I maintained my composure and said, "I
love it!" as genuine as I could.
Usually when I walk through the doors I head straight to the back, and look at clothes last. Mostly, the clothes I like are things that most others do not like on the racks. So I suppose the lesson I learned was, look at clothes first. I LOVED that jacket!
Seriously, I can't complain. I found some neat items. I found these really cool vintage Fireking two-toned orange cups with a diamond pattern on the outside. Then this aqua pitcher caught my eye. Visions of a summer day with a warm breeze, sitting on grandma's front porch, drinking ice tea, caused me to purchase this beautiful vintage pitcher. I will be putting these on ebay or etsy, not sure which.
If I had any room left in my cabinets, they would stay in my house... I do not.:(

Let your soul be calmed with a beautiful and calming song. The images go so perfectly with this song.

Enjoy!!!

Chips and Cracks - I love 'em!



There is something about old things with chips, cracks, and paint peeling that draws me to it. sorta the way Santa is drawn to the North Pole. It feels comforting to me, knowing it has already had its knock and bangs... and yet, it weathered the storm. Oh yeah, I paid a whole 99 cents for this beauty.:) You can't beat that!


And, I do not have to worry about that first chip. Stress free.:)
