The past few weeks we have had my parents visiting from out-of-state and have had many fun family gatherings and outings. They enjoy visiting thrift stores and garage sales, too, so we did some of that this week! Thought I'd share a few of the fun finds with you! I love old games and sports equipment, so I couldn't pass up these vintage baseballs and softball...or this lot of dominoes...
They have little magnets on the backside for fun projects!
The beautiful antique blue milk/slag glass footed fruit bowl was another FIND this week... It's really lovely....
I LOVE this great vintage alabaster lamp, too~ it has great markings...
This antique telescope and newer mercury glass covered jar ended up on the mantle...
Look at this wonderful old stoneware bowl...don't you just love the color?
This decorative old book and sweet little hand painted ceramic shoe called to me...
but this cute old pillow sham has to be one of my favorites...Humpty Dumpty!
We had such fun family times treasure hunting!
This week in the garden, has been very hot, humid, and rainy! It's turning into a jungle out there! New this week...the hydrangeas are setting blossoms...
Tiger Lilies are blooming as are other lilies and daisies...
Stock and pink geraniums are blooming, too!
My tomatoes are setting fruit now, too!
I haven't been on the blogs as much lately due to all the summer fun, but am planning a giveaway soon to celebrate and thank 200 followers and 500 etsy sales! Check back soon for more info! Hope you are having a wonderful summer, too!
Until next time...
Linda

ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping over and following. I'm following you back and enjoying your blog. Your garden looks so great, most of my stuff is dying, the heat has been unbearable.
ReplyDeleteI love that little shoe and don't you think Humpty Dumpty is looking a little sinister?
