Vintage Clay

One of the first places we head to at an Estate Sale

is the GARAGE...

We are always looking for some great vintage 

Clay Pots

We LOVE the look of these pots...

and can't get enough!

You can't find patina like this 

on new pots....

Nothing beats the great distressing 

of Vintage Terra Cotta pots...

but we have seen where you can take new pots 

and "age" them to look like older pots here.  

These new  distressed pots look a little better...

but can never compare 

to the weathered years on these beauties!

Love the "W" on this one...

Wonder what it was for?

Not only do we love collecting them and appreciating their

vintag-y goodness, Karrie uses them to hold 

beautiful flower arrangements in....

And...Spring is coming...so that means

that this week Pots are being prepped 

with some lovely moss....

and will be waiting for some 

 pretty flowers to brighten your day!

"It is always exciting to open the door 

and go out into the garden for the first 

time on any day."

What's wrong McFly?

CHICKEN??

We came across an estate sale that was

FULL

of chickens...

and this is what we thought of:

                                       

yep, that's right ~ Marty McFly!

Truly, 

there were a

BAZILLION

chickens in this home....

(we'll clarify...a bazillion chicken figurines! lol!)

You know when you go into an estate sale 

and you might see, let's say, a lot of dog figurines...

but you still see some other figurines besides the dogs....

NOT the case in this house...

 ALL

CHICKENS!

 And so many to choose from...

we left with a 

PECK

of them

at least!!

:)

 Have you ever seen so much

Poultry before?

All different colors and styles.....

We love the ones that are Sugar/Creamers

with Salt & Peppers on top!

  

Seeing all of these chicken got us thinking about

Foghorn Leghorn

(oh you've just love looney tunes!)

and that's,

 I say that's all folks!

Wednesday Words

Just look at this crazy plate 

we found at an estate sale....

oh my....

Blooming.....

Fun, New Estate Finds

that are blooming at the store this month....

blooming 

your way today?

Vintage Linens

A little sweetness 

came into the store this week!

Still laundering some fun doilies

 from last weekend's Estate Sale we went to.....more to come later!

Dish on Junkin'

One of our favorite things to pick up at estate sales

and antique stores are dishes

 

{can we hear a bit of heavenly music please?!}

 

 

It is so hard for these sisters

 to pass up this pretty set of plates

 

 

The colors are gorgeous

 and the scenes are so pretty! 

 

 

On the back:

Old Ivory Syracuse China

"made in America"

 

Got to love a plate that says that!

 

So, give us the "dish...."

do you have a downfall when you junk?

Talkin' Turkey

Yes, we know its a bit early

to be postin' about Thanksgiving!

However, we know they will be gone

before Turkey time rolls around!
 

So we wanted to show off the Vintage Turkey Finds

that we found at a couple of sales last weekend....

Before they are Gobbled up!!

Happy Monday All!
