Sharin' A Few Finds~ New barn I found~ And Ramblins Too...

Hi y'all I hope this post finds everyone in

GREAT Spirits....

I wanted to say Thank You to every one of you

for your prayers for my Dad ! They are very much appreciated

as I know the power of prayer can sure work miracles.

Dad is a little better today. His lips aren't as blue as they

were over the last 2 weeks and his breathing sounds

much better too. Thanks again for your kindness and for

being there for me when I was feeling so down.

Now onto a few finds I have to share....

Found this ol' box at a new antique mall that just opened

up right up the street from my Hubbs job. So of course

Dad, Kenz, Linny and I had to go check it out a couple

of weeks ago. I thought about maybe tryin' ta' rent

a booth there too. It's really a nice clean organized place.

Ooopps I'm loosin' track here lol....Here's the pic...

Ohhh well LOOKIE here lol.....Scooter kept

gettin' in my way everytime I tried to take a pic.

Then of course Tinkie just had to get in the way too lol

You know what they say though 3rd x's the charm ;)

It's 31and a half inches long by 7 and a half inches wide.

It was only 12 bucks so I had to snag it right up !

I thought maybe I'd put my magazines and remote controls

in it till I figure out somethin' different to put in it.

Any ideas ??? I thought about maybe makin' some

fabric sunflowers and maybe a few other different

fabric flowers and putting in it and set it in my bay window.

Watcha' think ??? Or if ya' have a different idea I'd

love to read whatcha' think ;0)

I also found this wool blanket I'd like to cut up and use for

maybe a few penny rugs base and I wanna make a runner

for my table too. The color would be a great base for some

prim flags too. It's in perfect shape and was only 10 bucks !

It's 5 feet long by 3 feet 3 inches wide. A good bargain

for wool. I can't wait to start some projects with it soon.

On our way to the Oolitic Antique mall we ran across a

yard sale that took us down some country roads I'd never been

down before and we ran across this ol' barn.....

I lovvveeee ol' barns ! I love to take leisure drives

just to look at 'em and snap a few pics of 'em too.

I also did some wall tweaking....

Here's a before pic....

And here's after......

Here's another before.....

And after.....

I need to put somethin' above the candle sconce

between the shelf and cabinet.

Welp I best get goin' to get my laundry finished up

cause it's back to work tomorrow. Ohhhh speakin'

of work....they've decided to re~open the store

on Mondays begining April 12th  !!! So that means

my job is secure again for now whewwww.

I sure didn't wanna hafta' look for another one

cause I have really decent benifits now and I'd be

lucky to find another with benifits like I have now.

So that's a lil stress of my shoulders now.

Hope to post again later in the week. I'm thinkin'

I may have a lil tutorial to show y'all how to make

an easter centerpiece if I have time to get it finished.

If y'all haven't had a chance to check out the

Prim Pals forum yet we'd sure love ta' have ya !

Long time no post...Pics of my estate sale finds.....

Hi y'all =) I sure hope this post finds you in GREAT spirits ! I sure didn't realize it's been sooooooo long since I've posted ! I've seemed to have a full plate lately. My Dad was hospitalized overnight a week ago with breathing problems. We're hoping and praying it is not his cancer returning and it was just his emphesyma.He has been in remission for a longggg time now. The Dr suggested doing a new ct scan but he doesn't want to be retested to see and he says he won't do chemo again either. At first I was really upset about his decision but thinking about what he went through before I guess I can see why he doesn't want to do it again but part of me wishes he would change his mind ! Work has been hectic lately too. I worked a 13 hour shift on Tuesday ugghhh and it seems like I can't ever get outta there on time anymore. We did get some news that I believe means we won't be closing in May. They are finally installing a debit/credit machine and considering opening us back up on Mondays. I'm sure thankful for that cause I don't wanna look for a new job and start all over again.....heck I'm not getting any younger here lol........Well enough about all that. I sure have missed bloggin' and readin' all my fav blogs. I'm gonna have ALOTTA' catchin' up to do ! I wanna' share a few pics of an old sewin' machine I found at a estate sale last weekend. Yepp the weather has been sooooo nice out there were yard sales here !!!!! Yipppeeeee I was sooo excited to see the ads in the paper and lucky that it was my Sat. off whew. I'd  have probably taken a personal day if it wasn't my day off lol

Here's a few pics of my fav find yet. Ohhh and when I asked the fella' how much it was, I figured he'd shoot off some crazy price but when he said 25 bucks I had to snag it up ! O.k. O.k. now the pics lol...........

I cleaned it up but there is some spots

 that won't come off.

Any ideas how to get 'em off

without doing any damage ?

The original attachment case. It's lined in velvet.

And has all the attachments inside it too.

Thought I took an inside pic but

I don't see it in my files...hmmmm

Well shucks I thought I took a pic

of the whole cabinet too...

Guess I didn't or my laptop

is eatin' my pics !!!!!! lol

I also got this barn lantern for

2 bucks from the same sale

And these adorable old baby shoes

for 1 dollar !!!

We also went back up to Martinsville

and hit the inside flea market where

I found this hugeee crock jug

for 16 bucks...which I thought

was a pretty good price....

This is how I have it displayed...

I've got a few more things to share

but I gotta be at work by Noon

today sooo I'll share 'em soon.

I sure missed y'all and hope to

not have such a long absense again !

My Ohhhh My What A Wonderful Day....** Warning PICTURE Overload ! ** & New Bingo Words....

Hi Ya'll !!!! I hope this post finds ya'll in Wonderful Spirits !

My Ohhhhh My What A Wonderful Day !

The weather was spectacular...The sun was shining....And I was with 2 of my most fav. Peeps in the whole wide world ! It was a perfect girls day out. Girlies (and fellas IF your readin' ) we found some of the MOST wonderful (new to us) places to shop !!!! Ohhh lordy how I wish I woulda took more money with me !!! But I was a good girlie and only took a certain amount so I wouldn't over spend....which I've been known to do a time or two *wink* Ohhh did I just admit that ?!?!?!?! Hunny if you read this that was the ambien talkin' !!!! Hehehehehe.......Anyways wow I hope ya'll are ready for a pic filled post ! Cause I have lotsa things to share !

We left around 11:00. Kinda' a late start 'cause we got an unexpected visit and they wanted to visit and chat a bit. I didn't wanna be rude or hasty BUT (lol) I was so darn hyped to get on the road ! We finally got outta' here wheww and off to pick up Linds...

Just look at that smile on her face lol she was just as ready

as we were to get outta' town and shop for some goodies ;0)

I just love Her and my son Josh's new home. This is the first time they have been out on their own and they were smart and bought instead of rentin' I'm sooo proud of 'em ! They hope to someday trade in for a modular or by land and build their own home in the country. Linds & Josh I truly am PROUD of you two !!!

Anyway lol I'm gettin' off track ;0)

We finally got to hit the open road

With GREAT conversation about all the goodies we hoped to find....It didn't seem like no time and we were at the HUGEEE

Inside Flea Market.... Wow was I impressed ! Goodies galore !

I forgot to take a pic outside of the building to show ya' all =(

But I got some inside pics....

It didn't take us long to dive on in and look for some things we couldn't live without lol....Look at Linds hehehehe

With aisles and aisles of booths it was a shoppers dream !!!

That white cabinet there was priced for only 15 bucks !!!!!

Now I wish I woulda' bought it but I wasn't sure if I had a

spot for it sooo I didn't purchase it......

Another shot....There were rows and rows of booths here...I asked permission to take pics and they said as long as the booth didn't have a sign sayin' NO PICS then it was o.k. This place had some fantastic stuff I tell ya' and some really GREAT prices !

I love things made from old barn wood and almost bought

the shelf in this pic to put on the porch.....

Look at all these wonderful goodies !!!!

Linds bought a Primitives shelf sitter just like the one above

at a prim shop we found while in Martinsville....

Lotsa' walkin' and Lotsa' Shoppin' and she still has a smile lol...

They had this HUGE scratch and dent area and gosh WHY DIDN'T I BRING MORE $$$$ ?!?!?!?! lol...That's my Daughter MaKenzie in the jeans and black jacket....I tried to get a pic of her all day lol BUT she's like me and doesn't like her pic taken much, so I didn't get any good pics of her today =( Anyway in this area they had these wonderful chairs (below) All 4 for 45 bucks ! I love the fabric...

LOL Linds hamin' it up in my pic of that fabulous

book shelf that was only 40 bucks !!!! Why'd I NOT bring

more money with me again ?!?!?!? lol

More Prim goodies......

I was honestly amazed at how many booths had

Prim goodies there. I will defenitely be going back !

Then we rounded an aisle and what to my wonderin' eyes did I see ?

Ohhhhh my is that really one of those things I've been wantin' forever ?!?!?!?! And why didn't I bring more $$$ ????? lol

Yes it was a lovely primtastic Dry Sink !!!!!! Ohhhhh

how I wanted it ! It was a lil outta' my budget but a pretty

good deal for 75 bucks considerin' most of them I've seen

have averaged around 100 to 150 plus ! Gosh I want it !!!

Honey my B~day is Sunday *wink wink* lol......

Isn't it primtastic in all it's mustard glory ?????

I coulda' got it but I wouldn't have had much left

to spend at any other place we stopped and Kenz and I

woulda' had to resort to sharin' a pack a peanuts for lunch lol !

We ended up with some GREAT stuff from the Flea Market....

So we decided to head on into Martinsvilles town square.

On the way there ohhhh my did that sign say yard sale ????

Why by golly it did !!! So we did a pit stop 'cause my car has

auto pilot for yard sales lol.....And wow did we meet the nicest

fella who had one of the most coolest back yards....Heck

his whole home was awesome ! Now mind you his home was smack dab in the middle of town too but had such a country feel to it.

 He was kind enough to let me take pics of his back yard ! I want hubby to build me a cute lil shed like the one pictured below.

Here's a few more shots of his yard....

Wouldn't mind havin' this in my backyard either !

I'll take one a these while we're at it lol.....

This fella' was so kind that he said I could bring

Hubbs up anytime to check out his yard and he'd be glad to

give us pointers on how he built his out buildings...I thougt

that was soooo sweet to offer that to someone he doesn't

even know ! He had some great prices on his yard sale

items as well and some of the things he had were

prim items too !!! Wish we woulda' gotten there

earlier in the day to see all the goodies !!!!!!

So from there we found this lil shop called Queen Annes Lace

This place had some Primtastic things but most were outta' my

price range.....Check out the makedo chair they had below.....

Loveeeeee it !!!!! But at 129.00 dollars I think I'll try

and make my own someday........

I love the old feel and look of their town square....

I felt like we stepped back in time and was visitin' Mayberry...

We found a few prim shops on the square and we felt like

we were in Prim Heaven !!!! The first shop didn't allow pics at

all. They didn't even want me to take one of the outside =(

They had some really cute prim stuff there. She gave me a

card but I can't find it darn it ! The next shop.....well

I gotta' say it was even better than the first ! It was filled with

Handmade Prims, antiques and a few things from like

Honey and Me and things like that. The owner was a real sweetie.

I talked to her about ya'll lol. She had never heard about Blogger.

So I wrote down my blog addy and told her she should think

of joinin the bloggin' world hehehehe.....

Her shop is called....

If your ever down this way ya' gotta' check her shop out !

Just a fantastic place filled with all kinds of wonderful goodies...

I've got pics of some of the goodies we got but I started this post at a lil after midnight and the pics are loadin' slowwwww

so I'll share more tomorrow..... After our day of shoppin' we stopped at KFC and ate the buffet bar mmmmmm I probably ate wayyyyy to much ! But it sure was yummy ! Then we headed home and unpacked our goodies and headed to Bingo. I got to play

for free for my B~Day But I didn't win a thing !!!! We were 2 #'s away from the 1000.00 dollar game grrrrrrrr and I got what they

call monitor shot. Which is when your # you need to bingo is in the t.v. monitor but someone calls bingo on the last # called =(

Ohhhh well ......Maybe one of ya'll will have some luck with

Todays Bingo words =0)

Todays
