Finds Of The Week
I scored on a bunch of embroidered linens, lace and eyelet this week. I also found some kitschy stuff for my lil farmhouse. My fave find was the Cherry FireKing bowl for just a few bucks! Many of the fabrics I found will find a new home in purses and more! I found a few more things but will share those later...It's very dark and rainy here today, so pictures wouldn't be great. until next time!

Chicken Scratch~Chicken Love
As many of y'all know I love chickens. I couldn't resist this cute metal chicken pail from Target...Oh my is it cute! And a nice size to boot! I will probably use it in my studio
to hold fun doo dads and what not's.
If it is cute and has a chicken on it, I may be tempted to buy or will buy it...I found the cute smock above for a few bucks and the cute vintage linen towel below the smock photo for a few bucks as well...This piece will probably be making its way into a purse...Which I will also use one of these sweet print feed sacks along with it.
I have lot's of sewing ahead of me!
Keep your eyes peeled!!!

Farmgirl Charm
My Thrifting finds have been good lately! I found these beautiful colorful bowels with flowers and fruit. These are so lovely and perfect for a colorful farmhouse. I will probably hold on to these and resell down the line. Yet, I am very tempted to keep the green one with flowers!
I also found this sweet pair of salt and pepper shakers. I am smitten with them...The cool thing is they were on sale and I ended up paying a whopping 50 cents!!!
I found some fabrics, little linen aprons and funky colorful quilts. I will be using the fabrics in upcoming goodies and hold on to the quilts for resale as well. My dream is to be a part of a vintage show or something of the sort. I have been collected things for the past several years for that purpose. It just takes time....Plus need to find a good venue.
Be on the lookout for more goodies coming out of my studio...I am a bit behind due to several deaths in our church family this last week. But hopefully will be back on track this coming week ahead!

It's A Good Day To Have Good Day
My daughter and I had a fun outing together. We haven't gone thrifting and antiquing together in a long time. It was so fun going through all the goodies and finding a few treasures. We were walking around this big antique shop and saw this beautiful painting of a young lady which eerily looked like my daughter, or is it that my daughter looked very much like the painting. It was a little pricy so we left it behind, but sure would love to own her. My girl found herself a couple pairs of shoes and a vintage train case while thrifting.....She felt like she scored!
I loved truding through the outside of this antique shop..All the rusty, chippy goodness. I was all excited and gave me inspiration for planning out our garden this Spring.
I brough home a few treasures myself...Like this happy bright colored bowl, a red cross stitched floral cover for my sewing machine, a few Grandmother's Garden quilt pieces for future crafts and the cutest apron with happy faces and bright happy colors.
It was the perfect day along with the high 60 degree Spring like weather,
shopping with my favorite girl...So much fun...We need to do it more often!

Chicken Scratch~ My Thrifted Treasures
After a longggggg couple of weeks being sick, I finally ventured out for the afternoon while my girl was in her Biology class. I went to several shops and brought home some treasures. I was pleasantly surprised to find a bag of vintage gingham fabrics for a couple bucks, along with a couple colorful embroideries and a little 1950's poodle. Another shop led me to 6 crisp white scalloped vintage hankies and a red tomato string holder. Then I found the lil piggy planter....
This little piggy came home!
Sorry for the horrible photos...
They came from my phone.
See y'all soon!!!
