Missouri Finds....

As promised, here are a few of my finds from our trip last week to Missouri

Not everything is here...I found an awesome pink door that I'll save for another post and a few other little things.

I've wanted a McCoy vase like this but they can be pricey...I grabbed this one at $10.

A stack of butter pats for $3 (for all of them!). The rose cups were $3 and $4.

I like the pretty and perfect as well as the crazed and aged.

I really wanted to find a pair of old porch parts so that I could use them as brackets and make a shelf. The shop just happened to have 2.

The 6 plates were a steal at $1.95 for all of them.

I seem to have a new obsession with tub feet and these have the prettiest rust and white coloring.

They will serve as bookends eventually.

This cute little plant stand had to come home with me...it's larger than it appears here.

And the beginning of my new collection...chamber pots! I never dreamed I would like these but the price was so good and I'm thinking they will make pretty flower planters for the porch this summer.

I'm going to keep picking them up when they are as cheap as these were...$5 and $10. I love the crazed one best. (I know...a little weird to want old 'chamber pots'!!!) Ah yes...the good old days! 

That's it for now but I can't wait to show how my pink door and pink prom dress turned out...I'll probably post if for Pink Saturday this week.

I also went to the Bachman's Spring Ideas House yesterday with my girlfriend...found lots of neat ideas and I took a lot of pictures. I'll post some of them in a day or two.

Thanks for stopping!!!!

Return to the Barn Sale!!!

YES!!! I went back to the Barn Sale!!!! Most everyone said (from last weeks post)...Go back!!!

I found one more rose plate that wasn't there last week and this pitcher that I intended to buy but forgot to pick up...it was still there!

I usually go for only all white pitchers but I love this style so much and it was so reasonably priced.

But the first thing that I saw was this white plant stand. I can see this used in a shabby bathroom...set a basket on the bottom shelf full of towels and maybe something fun on the top shelf...like a plant!

The last thing I found way back in a corner was this black plant stand, the price was $4. I couldn't pass it up, it looks like it's missing one leaf but you really have to stare at it to notice.
DH will sandblast it and paint it white.

Then hiding under a table was this old shelf. I kind of have a thing for old shelves...I've been picking them up and repainting them because I want places to keep my little collections rather than hiding them in boxes...I want to be able to see my cool treasures.

It's been painted cream, bright green and then white. It's sitting out on the screen porch where I've been working, not sure if it really needs a paint job or just leave it be. I'm starting to like seeing that bit of green showing on the edges.

Then the one thing that stuck in my mind that I regretted not buying was this cement pedestal. I figured if it was still there then it would be mine. I'm sure it's not old since the paint is peeling off in big chunks and it's pretty dinged up and shabby.

But once I set it out on the patio, which is still a work in progress, I decided it would stay right there. All I need are a couple of old pots filled with pink impatiens sitting on the bricks around the base (and hide that nasty green stuff growing on the siding). Top it off with a pretty pot of flowers...I'm glad I went back!

DH found something too, he called it a snatch block....whatever that is but it's big and it weighs a ton and he says he can use it.

And I just had to throw in the jack-in-the-pulpit from my wild garden....

Thanks for dropping by!!!!
