I could not believe my lucky day when I found this wicker table at the curbside! It was dirty and had some ugly paper attached to the bottom shelf but after some elbow grease and sanding, I was able to paint and it turned out pretty good. It was in really good shape, some of the wicker was missing around the legs and trim but the tabletop and shelf below were solid so I was happy with the results! If you saw this in a antique store it would cost around $75.00 easy!

Went to the annual Unionville Flea Market this Saturday with my friend Pat, it was much nicer this year than the past 2 years, the weather was great and there was much more vendors! Here are some primitive treasures I found there!

Olde farm sale

My first sale on a farm this weekend and I just loved it! There is something to being out in the country surrounded by the old chippy white buildings listening to the roosters, laughing with good friends.. priceless! I did not care if I did not make a lot of money, I was just happy to be able to get the experience of being there!

Now I truly believe the saying, "one man's trash is another man's treasure"! I found this old dresser on the side of the curb on my way home from work one day last week! I could not believe it! Nothing was wrong with it! The drawers were all in good condition..I just replaced the drawer handles to a more country look! I just love it!

I found this rusty old filing cabinet at

an estate sale, it had some good bones, no dents and the rust was just surface rust. With a lot of elbow grease and time, I was able to sand, wash, and paint the cabinet within a few hours and now I love it! It can be used for many purposes...bathroom storage, kitchen to hide all those utensils or just for a sunporch to put all your garden accessories! Of course, if I had my way, it would be on a enclosed porch or garden filled with different herbs and flowers! How cool!

Here we go again another sale

This Saturday March 17th is my first sale of the season with my friend Barb. You must make it a point to stop and see all the old and new goodies we have! Here are a couple of pictures just to give you and idea of what is going to be for sale! Lots of good stuff! Where? you ask! 1230 Walnut Blvd (east end) and 221 Franklin Ave. Two sales only 1 stop, just think of all the gas you will be saving!!! See you there! What time? 9-2.

I lost my best friend on 2/18/2012

I do not know why things happen to us but there has to be a reason. Two days before Christmas this straggly long haired dirty white dog came to my friend (Barb) and I looking for help! Immediately, we fed her and gave her a nice warm home. Within the next few days, we had her groomed and began a long two month battle to make her better! She had some medical issues, we were determined to beat. We walked her, fed her, bought her lots of goodies and some things she needed (diapers, which she hated to put on, but wouldn't you)? All through the vet visits, walks, diaper changes, baths and trips in the car, she never whimpered, moaned or tried to fight back! She was a sweetheart and let us just take care of her. She listened and always tried to go outside to the bathroom (even though she had a few accidents)she did her best! We loved her anyway! Sometimes, she would get picky about her diet and putting on the diaper, she was just a loving dog! The last few days were the toughest, she lost control of her back legs, we thought it was the arthritis but it turned out to be a inoperable tumor on her spine! We were devistated! Everything we tried did not work for this sweet lady! We had to put her to sleep yesterday and besides loosing my father, this has been the hardest thing I have ever done! Why? I keep asking myself and God do things happen like this? There has to be a reason! With this broken heart of mine, I wish someone would give me the answer! I love you Holly and will miss you deeply! (The picture is of one of the walks she went on with the other dogs in the neighborhood and their new sweaters (Holly is the white dog)). I am glad you came into my life, dear friend, but I wish it could of been longer. Even though it hurts, I know you are in a better place.
