Thursday Treasures


Today for Thursday Treasures, I have a lot of fun things to share from last weekend. We actually went to two events and sure had a fun time shopping! The weather was quite nice for outside shopping. It's not fun when the temps reach up to the 90's! It was overcast yet quite warm.


The garage sale was just across the river into Washington, only about a half hour from home.
They get a very good turnout at this event.


I was ready to go and this is how I found Jimmy! I just had to laugh.


This shot was taken back in Oregon at the Expo show. I was fascinated with this booth and it's rolling showcase booth. It was drawing a great deal of attention.


In the summer, this show has a huge outside area. We no longer exhibit at the summer Expo. We will be back for the October date.


The sun popped out a bit right before we left.


Jimmy was packing out his goods...those are snowshoes over his shoulder. He sell every pair he can find!


When we get back home, we always enjoy a share and tell and spread out the goodies! He was quite pleased with his finds!


I just love this old box! It may have to stay around.....


The black dolly is fabulous. I love her dress and she will fit in quite well with our booth .


Older copper molds are always welcome! Jimmy also found 4 fishing rods to sell, so he was quite happy about that.


Now, for my goodies! What a different look, heh? That's the fun about each of us selling different things. Fun Fun Fun!


Was I ever pleased to find 4 Holly Hobbie dolls! Most of mine have sold and they are such great sellers. There's a wonderful piece of HH fabric on the left side...a great find!


Old quilt blocks and a wonderful clay cookie mold. I will be keeping this one! I have never seen a quilt pattern one.


A few goodies for the tea collection! It's a real treat to find a pink luster teacup out here in the NW.
I was happy to find the little Japanese teapot to send to a friend's dolly. Ida will be happy. The small teacups are child sized from Queen Elizabeth's coronation. They will be joining my collection...so sweet!


Look at this charming rag doll pattern by McCalls! She has very cute clothes patterns too.


I am always happy to find some ephemera. Most of these were taken from a cute children's book.


My most favorite find was this Grandmother's Flower Garden quilt top. I love the colors and it's nicely done. It was fun to find a top made with hexies, as I'm into that right now.


And look at this gorgeous piece! It's an embroidery hoop that attaches to a table top. We think it's made of maple and it's so pretty and in very good condition.


You just screw it on and off. Jim wants me to keep it and I think it would be a wonderful piece to have! Thank you Jimmy.



Well, I did have a great time but it was hard on my old sore feet. Just a month left to see the doctor.

I missed my Tea Time Tuesday this week as I was sewing for two days at our church, making bags for a missionary trip. It was fun.

My Primitive Side of Valentines


Happy Saturday! The sun is trying to come out here in Oregon today. It is very mild and we are in for some sunny and warm days ahead this week. It is beginning to feel like spring here. I have been doing a little house cleaning and plan to work on the rest of my Valentine treats to get mailed off on Monday.

Most of you see my more Victorian side, filled with tea and dolls and pretty things...all pink and mauve. I love that part of my world. But I do have another side, that my Jimmy REALLY likes. It's more primitive, but as we live in the Pacific Northwest, we don't see all the wonderful old primitives that the east coast antique collectors enjoy!

Anyway, I thought it would be fun to pick out a few more primitive hearts around our home to share with you as we begin the count down to Valentine's Day!

I am just going to let you enjoy the photos. Some are little projects I have made, some were given to me, some are Etsy finds and others I have had so long, I can't remember where they came from! So just enjoy and get in the mood for February 14th!
