Primitive Silverware

Good Tuesday to all of you ladies, I didn't have any new photos to post so I thought I might post a pic of some primitive silverware I made up this summer. I had fun finding the old silverware at rummage sales. Its been a bit difficult finding more. I have found new but not had good luck aging it. The new ware doesn't want to rust up, any ideas? On Monday Mom, Taylor and I went to the movies to see Mamma Mia!!! Great great movie. Love Merle Streep. The songs were great to hear, hadn't heard some for yrs. and whats funny is you hear the tune and sudddenly you are singing all the words! Go see it if you get a chance. It's definitely a chick flick. Don't think the hubbies would enjoy it much. School starts on Thursday. Taylor will be in 8th grade. The big dog in middle high this yr. Going to lunch with Mom today at Pizza Hut. The weather has turned off cool. Finished my library book which I have had for honest to goodness, 6wks. I love to read but since finding this blog that takes up my free time. Well have a great Tuesday to you all.

I know You ladies are thinking what does she do with all this stuff? I wonder that myself sometimes. But, here is what I found this morning at tag sales. The 2 big round boxes I will paint up to sale, the frame I will make up a sampler for, the enamelware, well I told you I can't pass that up. The rolling pin, I think I will paint the handles black. The jar I can prime up. I have been grunging more jars. The photo of the stuff on the table is stuff I either need to decide to diplay somewhere or decorate and sell. Its rainy today, so maybe I can get some of it put away. My brother came over the other day, he is building a new deck on his house and he comes over to measure every once in awhile and the other day he said "this place looks like a flea market" I took that as a compliment!! (he didnt mean it as a compliment). Well I had better get busy. The hubby promised to be home early so we can go to Lowes and Hobby Lobby tonight in the bigger town an hr away. Have a great Sat. puttering around!!

Flea Market Finds

Yesterday Mom Taylor and I went shopping and ran across a few flea markets. One of my favorites I found this old enamelware pot, I thought a Christmas tree will look good in it. I can never pass up a paper caddy wire basket, I have them all over my house. Some silverware Im making a project with and an old black enamelware lid. This morning I hit a few tag sales, nothing much to speak of but there are several more at different times of the day I may try to hit. This morning was beautiful and cool. I've got my doors open, love those mornings. Yesterday we hit a country store that was cute. The primitives were packed from ceiling to floor. I love the little store, she's a bit high for me, but darling stuff. talked to her a bit about opening a store. Sadly, she was not incouraging about it. She said she sits most of the day and watches movies. She has several other crafters things in her shop and gets 10% of that, enought to pay her rent and utilities, but otherwise she wasn't very incouraging. She suggested, as many has that I should start with a booth at a show or in a flea market. We do have a Christmas Craft Fair here in my town. I could have enough made up to stock a booth. I might think of that to start with. Well I need to go buy groceries, hit old Wally-World. Need a few canning jar lids and some more coffee, I have been grunging everything in sight. Enjoy your Friday!!

New things!

Hi ladies, Inservice is over! Yea! I came home and checked out the blogs. In the mail today I

received my treenware big scoop I had ordered from my prize money from Country Sampler. Im not sure where I will put it yet. Then the framed sampler was a frame I got at a tag sale last weekend. I stitched up the sampler and glued on a rusty star. I love it, dont yet know where I will put that either. I just loved the looks of the old frame! Talyor is at the pool, we have been vieing over the computer this summer. My blogs, her games and friends. And in the evening my husband and his ebay! During my meetings today, I sat there thinking of all the things I could be doing and making if I were at home. Only 1 more wk. until school starts. Ive got several primitive barnwood samplers I have finished this summer. I will have to show you those some day soon. Better get supper going, have a great evening ladies.

Well, I worked on a few jars today, took a quick pic. before going to bed. I have inservice for school the next two days. Im not ready to go back to work. The summer went to fast. I have enjoyed this blog so much and I could spend hrs. on it. I told my mom I don't have time to go back to work, I have a blog now. This blog has inspired me and given me so many primitve ideas I have stayed busy all summer. Thanks ladies!

Yes that is my kitty laying next to my jars. I was working on a sampler this evening and she sits next to me trying to catch the thread! Note the old screen door leading to my laundry rm. That was the original screen on the old house that stood here when we bought the place. Enjoy your Tues. Dawn

More Goodies!!

Hi everyone, had a busy weekend. Hubby and I hit a few tag sales Sat. Did pretty good. I love the little frame. Its really old, Im working on a saying for that. Love the feed sack. Ive been buying up a lot of the graters, Im going to wrap grunged cloth around those. In the second photo my favorite is the big shelf. She wanted 25.00 , my husband said offer her 10.00, now Im not to great at bargining, he is. I offered her 20.00, she took it right of. I should have offered 15.00 anyway I love it and it will go perfect above my bed. Im going to try to work on that today, maybe Ill post it later. The old yellow bowl I pd. 1.00 for and the spoons I took home and painted up to look old. The birdhouse I placed on a porchpost in my kitchen. Sunday afternoon I worked on a few jars. Ill finish those up this morning and post them. Yesterday evening I had homemade ice cream and mom brought a blackberry cobbler for my husbands birthday. The nieces and Taylor swam in the pool. Mom has a blackberry bush outside her backdoor she gets a few off each night. Well better go bet busy. You ladies have a great day.

Tag Sale Finds

Ive seen the old stainer, on top of the box used with a christmas tree. Ill find a cute place for the old birdhouse and galvinized pan, I have a collection in my laundry rm. I will have to show everyone that one of these days. Well now to find a place for all of this. have a great day, its already so humid outside,you can hardly breathe. Thanks for visiting!
