More treasures


We found this beauty and couldn't resist. Makes a great addition to our kitchen don't you think.

 

Can you believe when I found this treasure it was doing duty as a trash bag holder. I have added my ironstone bowl and put it into service in the master bath.

Talk to you soon,

Incredibly wonderful

Look at this beautiful chair. I don't know if you can tell but it is blue. I just love it.

The tiles behind the chair are the one's I picked up in McKinney. We decided not to use them in the bathroom but to let them shine in the entryway.



Found these two black bound New Testaments at our regular place to look for treasure.


Steve snapped this picture of the light above our dinner table.
It was brass and I sprayed it flat black. Do you like it?


I'm not sure what we will do with this awesome headboard. If you have any ideas please share them. It has no place to add rails making it into a bed impossible?

My little cowboy

Aren't these the cutest little boots!
They are still a bit big but I just couldn't resist.

Dead batteries

I have so many incredible projects going right now and no way to show you. Steve is most of  the manual labor and I am the one with all the ideas. Steve doesn't always think my creativity is a good thing but I think he is the best husband a woman could Pray for.
The girls cleaned out my white pumpkins, can you believe that they still look great. I plan to plant the seeds and grow my own.
For the last couple of days I have been painting bottles silver, an idea I got from my friend in ND, thanks Traci. Another friend is getting married in ND and I am making the silver bottles for her. The bottles will have brown satin bows and a single white flower. I am unable to attend so I felt so blessed to be able to do something for her.
We (Steve) are installing the door in Caitlynd's bedroom, just in time for snow on Monday.
I am creating a wainscoting from 1 x 3 pine and white vintage tin tiles in my laundry room. 
I am putting contractors kraft paper on the wall in the guest bathroom. It's looks like a mosaic which I will be painting a dark, rich brown with bright white trim.
That's it for now.   Thank you so much everyone that left comments and added themselves as followers. You are such a blessing to me and I am grateful for each of you.

God bless you

Good morning

Praise God for a beautiful day. Steve and I are going to pick up the white ceiling tiles I put on layaway. I can't wait.
Tonight is Bible study I don't expect I will be posting again today, so until tomorrow.
God Bless you

fun finds


looks like an old medicine bottle, I'm not sure what I am going to do with it.

White and Rusty stole my heart


I found these beautiful dishes that match some I have already, I think I have another collection started!


Can you tell what this is?  It was a wall light that didn't work so I cut the cord off. I put a candle in the socket and covered it. Recycled a light into a light.

our BEAUTIFUL children









These are our beautiful daughters, (Lf to Rt)  Caitlynd 13, Kimmie 9, Sara 10, Brittany 14  and our son Jacob 20 months.  We are also blessed with grown children  RJ, Lori and Evan.  God has blessed us with a quiver full.
