Pillow!

Look at the pillow I made!
I bought 2 of these pieces at Renningers.

I had left over painters tarp for the back.

I made a pocket opening because I haven't done a button whole is about 45 years and I have to be able to wash my pillows.



I think it turned out pretty good. I just eye ball the size of the pillow and sew!



This is stunning to me.

I found this here. I can do this!
Happy Tuesday to my blogging buddies!

RENNINGERS!!!! And a new giveaway winner!!!!

It's overwhelming!


So big you don't know where to start or end for that matter!

My buddy!  She is so cute and sweet. Called her at the last minute and she was ready to go after working all night!

We didn't even get to this section.
You have to have full pockets to shop it all.


We started out fresh being able to look around and be selective.

So much to see and great ideas everywhere.

I love out door junk.
Yard junk.

This area looks like a small village and these vendors are there all the time.


She goes into  her model pose if you point a camera at her.
Most people turn their head or put a hand up.
She's ready!




I love this!

This guy had old phone parts.

I have one of these and I dropped the receiver and broke it.
My Dad gave it to me and I didn't want to tell him.  He doesn't read this.
So I was able to replace it.

Lots of old windows.
A little pricey especially since I got 2 curbside last week






Here we are heading out. We already make one trip to the car with treasures.
Had a blast mostly because my good good buddy went with me.


This is a mix of what I bought at Renningers and an estate sale we stopped at on our way to Renningers.

These are vintage invitations for have coffee.  I think they are so sweet.

Love these burlap pieces.

I wish I had bought more.  $10.00 each with the stencil on them. I already made one into a pillow.

I like old library boxes to store pictures.
Twine and old lace are another thing that I can't walk away from.

Jennifer bought this Annie Oakley for my cowgirl room in Montana.
She is beautiful and fits right in.
Sometimes her music plays(only when she wants it too).
She's lovely!

I love old silver or silver plate.  These came from the estate sale.
And and old hole sprinkler.


This is very heavy.  From the estate sale.


It will look beautiful filled with flowers this spring.


This is from Renningers.  Does anyone know what it says and what language it is?

Pretty lace collars.

A few post cards over 100 years old.
Also, the winner of my giveaway has not come forward. So I will pull another name from the comments that are already listed this evening.
Enjoy your Sunday!
OK, it's evening and Emily pulled a new name, the new winner is.....
Glacier Dreaming! Email me your address and I will be going to the post office!

What is this bottle for?

I found this a few weeks ago.  I love the shape the color and the lid is metal.


I don't know what it was used for.
Do You?

I also found this pretty glass water pitcher with the silver plate top.
It looks so pretty with ice water in it.
$1.91 at the thrift.

Lola is not real happy with me right now.
I'm linking this with Linda at A la Carte
Happy Friday to you!

Who ate my magazine?!!!!!

They hid it under other magazines hoping I would not notice.

I did a quick glance last night and thought I would hunker down tonight and read and look at my favorite magazine.
He is a little bigger now but just as cute.
Katie says it's free daycare.  Jack comes over almost everyday so he doesn't have to stay in his cage.  Emily was watching him.  I know he did it.  This Grammy is not happy.
