Treasures! (Part 1)

Despite setbacks of uncooperative camera and computer ... here are some of the TREASURES from recent jaunts to Olympia and Redmond -- and a few other spots the last two weeks. Aren't they GREAT?!!

Can you tell I like old photographs. Like this GREAT pic.
WHAT STYLE!
(I also ALWAYS take a wrap to the beach lol!)

and floral frogs, and ironstone,
and PINK ROSES?!!

There are also old law books, men's shirt collars,
silverplated spoons and spreaders ...
rhinestone shoe clips,
a lariat dish and footed cake salver.

Did you see the PONY?
Every girl should have a pony at some time in her life -- and NOW I have MINE!


If you closely study posts from With A Grateful Heart,
the cake salver might look familiar.
It is just like the one (farthest back)

on loan to Deepwood Hisoric Estate.

That one was MY GRANDMOTHERS.

The "new" one is for my soon-to-be DIL.

The wedding is end of May, so PERFECT TIMING

on finding this treasure JUST FOR HER!

Wonderful treasure story from a week ago.

SPOILER ALERT -- It has a happy ending!

We helped a little with a family-run estate sale.

A few fun things came home with me.

HOWEVER ... two chairs did not.

Someone else whooshed them away in a not-so-nice way.

Hurt feelings. But tried (a little) to keep things in perspective.

How can you mourn something like that? But I did.

The NEXT DAY we saw there was a little sale

not too far from our house.

Summary of that morning?

POURING RAIN

NEAT gal going to PERU as a Missionary

She had a CHAIR and some old rugs waiting for ME!

AND ...

in a brown paper bag

just for me ...

were these:

Look where they came from!

And even better,

a CHRISTMAS stocking made from an old crazy quilt.
I felt so LOVED. Smiling and happy dancing all day!

HUGS and have a great day!

today's work: what length of post is best and how many photos ... do I talk too much?
