Summer Daze...

I finished this sweet 'SUMMER DAZE' basket filler pillow!  The cute lamb is a Zula & Co. pattern...and dang sweet!  Does it not remind you of a summer day...the lamb's out in the field, picking daisies and talking to the bees!  

I put it in my new wooden bowl...'found' this weekend at a GS.

My vintage wooden geese are checking it out and it passes with their approval...These geese are SERIOUSLY sweet...the paint is all crackled and scuffed!  Love them both...and for $3 for the pair, I tucked one under each arm and screamed "START THE CAR!  START THE CAR!" as I went running down the driveway! A wonderful GS find if ever there was one!!

The bowl is hand made and needs to be finished...I'm thinking a darker Danish Oil...or even Annie Sloan paint and then a dark wax...I will sit on it a bit and give it some thought.  But it is perfect for pin keepers and bowl fillers and for $4...what can I say but "SCORE!!"

 Yes, it was HOT last weekend...and I DO mean that figuratively and literally!  I found these two crocks...the huge one for (are you sitting down...?) $2...OK there is a hairline crack in it but for $2, I can live with it!  The smaller one, found at a different GS, was $6!  Score!

 Now I am slowly getting rid of my chickens...but when I spotted these two wee vintage chicken timers...for $1 each... I thought what the hay...they are small and adorable and I do have one mama hen left to look out for them!

 My cream pitchers are growing and I LOVE THEM!!  Who knew that they came in all different sizes and shapes!

Here's a picture of my geese before I cleaned them up...cute hey!  I also love my red scale...$8.

(Don't look at the bananas...those ripe ones turned into a smoothie later in the day...:o)

 Old ruler for 25 CENTS...can you buy ANYTHING for 25 cents anymore?...YUP!!  And love this old wooden box...even though it once carried shot-gun shells.  I'm not sure what I will do with it so it's in the shed...waiting!

 And a better shot at my scales...

                                                 

So there you have it.  As 'new' stuff comes in, 'old' stuff goes out...or so I tell my husband!  I know...I know...I am a sick woman!  Soon I will be on THAT TV show...the one where you can't get into their house because of the junk!  Scary thought....:o}}  But the good news is..I don't smoke, drink or do drugs and I don't play with guns...just the wooden boxes that the shells come in!

Have a wicked Wednesday and Happy Stitching!~P
