~There is a new blog in town~

Listen up my friends there is a new blog in blogland. She is just starting out, learning how to navigate. You know how hard it can be. My friend Barbara runs her primitive shop full time and is trying to do a blog too. The shop is always busy.... I went by to help a little and I am no expert by far and the phone kept ringing with orders and prim gals kept walking through the door. So come and take a look at The Gingham Goose. I have mentioned the shop on my blog before and the girls from A Primitive Place were there a couple weeks back.  To see the post from that visit click HERE.

I borrowed these beautiful pictures from Margo who has a great post on the Gingham Goose on her blog
Circa 1892 *Homestead Primitives She takes great pictures and I would not want not to give credit where credit is due. I met Margo at Barb's shop and she is just one of the sweetest people!
So go on over and welcome Barbara to blog land!

Recently Aquired~Tues Display Theme

 I am joining Misi over at 1890 Gablehouse Musings for her Tuesday Display Theme. A couple weeks back I got a new cabinet and these are a few new things I got to fill it. This handmade bunny just stole my heart.
 The I found this yelloware bowl and it is perfect for here.
 Two small pewter plates can always be of use and now I am on the search for more.
 Then last but not least I found this little picnic basket. I knew I had to have it the minute I saw it. I think I will fill it with sweet annie or something else wonderful, right now I just love it as is.


This is my cabinet I found at the Gingham Goose, you can see it in more detail HERE. This is the reason I bought my new little treasures. It is hanging in my dining room and I just love looking at it and the contents.
I love Misi's Tuesday Display Theme, hop on over and join the fun~

I am in love~

On Saturday I went out to the Gingham Goose for the magazine signing with the girls from A Primitive Place. I got to meet Linda, Audrey and Margo. Of course you all know Linda is a dear friend from RMS days. I do go to the Gingham Goose on a regular basis. I would say don't tell my hubby, but he knows. I have been looking at this wall cabinet for weeks months now. I wasn't sure where to put it. Linda to the rescue. This is the exact spot she suggested.
I love it! I have been tweaking it all morning. Every time I took a picture I thought of something to change.
This little scale was found in a loft in my hubby's family store.
I love the detail of this piece.

Same thing....this bottle was found in the old building and it is from a local bottling company that is long gone. My Uncles used to run the local gas station, the only one in town....They used to have an old soda machine and I would get my cold drinks from it. I was so impressed with it because my uncle never let me spend my nickel, I could get it for free, just open the door and take it out.


So what do you think? Do you like it too?  I am really in love......and my sweet hubby got to work on hanging it when I came home with it. No easy task because I want to be able to put heavy stuff and not worry. Just as he finished our son and grand daughter came in for dinner. Perfect ending to a perfect day!
