It's Raining Woolworth's!
Hello, My Friends!~~~ Today hubby and I went for a little journey to a warehouse estate sale! The fine fellows running the sale had combined several estates and warehouses of accumulated goods. They advertised as having LOTS of vintage Christmas. They were correct! What I found so interesting is...
Lovely indeed, but I prefer the quaint character of country folk! Smiles...Renee

Postcard from Rhinebeck
If you've heard of the postcard-perfect village of Rhinebeck, New York, it may be because you're a fan of Edith Wharton's novels. Or because you remember that's where Chelsea Clinton got married last summer, at Astor Courts, which was built by John Jacob Astor IV. (Photo from Huffington Po...
She is just the cutest mini me ever....I love her. Can't wait to have her wave to you in blogland...Thanks for the magic. She graces my desk every day...smiles...Renee

A Simple Thimble
Renee from My Vintage Mending sent me a box of goodies last week (thank you!). Included in the box were two items that she asked if I could use for a spun head gal for her. A ribbon spool with some cute graphics and a tiny thimble. I put on my Magpie Ethel thinking cap and headed out to the s...
I love to stop and see what great finds you have. You never fail me. These are fantastic. Cannot pick a favorite. Wonderful scores, stories and the like...thanks for sharing...smiles...Renee

As the junk turns
Before we get to this weekend's junk, I need to briefly explain that for the past two months, our lives have sort of resembled the plot of a bad soap opera. Do any of you remember "The Edge of Night"? I grew up watching "The Edge of Night." Lately that is what my life feels like, and Mr. Oodl...

Oh darn I think you got my enamel pitcher by accident. I left it out in the garden you must have picked it up...just kidding. I am loving these eastern birds. Here in the midwest we don't have waxwings. Those cardinals can be fussy though. Almost as mean as the blue jays. My favorite time of the year too! Smiles...Renee

A good time of year
The weather was perfect for puttering on Sunday, and that's my favorite way to spend Mother's Day. By luck, I ended up with a good project to work on. I've been thinking about getting a trellis for the garden behind the shed, but it's one of those things that wasn't a big priority. On Saturda...
Turned out fantastic. I can't believe the difference. The treads look great. Can you believe the difference a patterned carpet makes? Clean and perfect. Well done. Smiles...Renee

Loving My Stairs
We recently re-carpeted our upstairs and it inspired me to do something a bit more fun on the stairs. Before: I never realized how beige, beige, beige they were! I had been admiring the carpet runners from Dash and Albert for some time. I loved the old fashioned hooked rug look that some of ...

Sew and Sow and So What
Yesterday I looked at the calendar and realized that I was supposed to have my Happy Homemaker Tag Along done! Oops! Following along with my theme of Storybook cards, I used the Curlylocks card for April. Being that April is strawberry month here, this card is perfect! Do you know the story ...
I love it. Can you imagine how many things I pass not wanting to put them in my car. I have a cx-9 and it can hold plenty, it just takes more man power than I am willing to put out. Kate is a lucky girl....smiles...Renee

I Love My Subaru
I haul quite a bit of stuff in my car with all my estate sale finds. I love my Subaru wagon. Today I fit a small settee in the rear of it. I did not have to put my seats down or anything! I bought this adorable little thing for my teen daughters room. It was the perfect color and had the m...
I can see that great minds think alike. You must have this vintage gene in your family. The Santa face is fantastic. I am collecting little bits for my spun head doll to send you with the ribbon spool. So far I have a thimble...smiles...Renee

Estate Sale Friday. Thank Goodness For A Second Set of Hands
There was not much in estate sale land today, so I was happy to see a church sale listed. I had been to this particular sale before and it was pretty good the last time. I asked my mom to join me knowing that she is a good second set of hands for me and knows what I like. Between the two of us...
Laurie...love the rake, but those are some of the cutest necklaces. The little girl and the baby pin. I have to know where you snatched those up. Let me guess you created them...Enjoy your time away...Smiles...Renee

Bringing You A Happy Smile #2
I found a wooden rake at the "dreamy" estate sale last weekend. It sports its original green and yellow paint. Lately I have been admiring rakes that are re-purposed to hang items from the prongs. I think this new rake will do that job wonderfully. It does make me happy and I love the col...
I just love the fact that tissue paper made it all those years and still looks smashing...love it...smiles...Renee

This honeycomb bee makes me happy. It arrived in the mail recently from a blog reader, Marci in Kansas. She knew I had a love affair with paper honeycomb and sent it off to me. It is pretty big and marked "Made in Denmark" inside. I love the pipe cleaner antennae. It is AWESOME! A perfect ad...
Oh Miss Betty, I am catching up on my post now and I just realized that I ordered this magazine after reading about it on Happy's site. I am so thrilled to know that you are part of it. Just can't wait to get it in my hands and read it front to back and again and again...Congratulations...lucky lady...Renee

I'm Charmed!!
Oh my goodness! I wonder how many posts I've started wiht those three words? I just can't help but "say" them though! I just received my copy of a new magazine called Creating Vintage Charm. The editor contacted me a few months ago about using some of my pictures from flickr in the Spring ...
Happy Spun Head and Honey Comb Love Day to you too!...Renee
