One mans trash.....

Could have been Dollys treasures.....

{You can click to enlarge pics}
I went with hubby to the scrap yard the other day
to help unload his truck full of rusty scrap metal stuff.



Oh my gosh the saying
"One mans trash is another mans
{in this case womans"}treasure!
Was so true this day!

See that green metal chaise.... I so wanted that!

I really really wanted to dig to see what else
was buried in that pile

See this green chair..... I wanted that too!!!!

Hubby refused to take anything home
and I could not dig anything out because I had my flip flops on!
Next time.... I go and he stays home!
Did you see anything you'd consider a treasure in that pile?

God Bless dear friends

A Hunting We Will Go

We have been house hunting!
Do you love to look at old houses?
Come with me and take a peek......

This one is a huge castle like victorian... I'd feel like a princess living here!
We looked at this house years ago and its back on the market......
I know the outside leaves lots to be desired!
NO curb appeal, no yard!
But the inside is amazing.... yes amazing!
I will do a post on this house soon.
I took a lot of inside pics!

Loooove this second empire home....
beautiful bay windows, the architectural details are amazing!
The yard is just as beautiful!
It has an offer pending! :-(

This one is beautiful inside and out!
A lil queen ann victorian cottage!
It features 2 of those amazing bay windows
and all those amazing architectural details!
{it is tugging at my heart}

I love this one...
but the drawback is.......
its on the main road and I am not sure we want to hear all that traffic noise!

Cute.... but too arts and crafts style!
Too boxy for me if that makes sense!

I know my heart stopped when I saw this one too!
The outside is amazing... I mean breath taking.....
BUT
the inside was a real let down....painted molding and plain and simple!
I know I could do a lot to it but its out of our comfort zone!
Its one of those homes that are priced too high but you have to see it anyways!
BIG LET DOWN!

Wish us luck...... Show you more soon
God Bless dear friends

fresh and juicy

Guess what season it is?

Strawberry jam making season

We love strawberry jam!

God bless dear friends

vintage lace & peonies

I just found this piece of vintage lace
and thought it needed a pretty bouquet to show it off!

Plus I am dealing with this sinus thing that is making sick
and I needed something pretty to look at!

Wishing you a joyous weekend!
