Primitive lamp and bread boards

I added a few things to my primitive collection over the weekend. Steve made the lamp for me actually he made two of them for me and I painted them. I love the way they turned out and they look so much better than the old glass, out of date ones I had. Those old lamps were big and took up a lot of space on the tables.

I bought the bread boards at an auction, I paid five dollars for both, Steve looked at me and said "Did you bid on those, what are you gonna do with those?" Oh when will he ever learn and figure out that I love old junk.
At the auctions we also picked up a set of old ice tongs, some clocks, and an old wooden ironing board. I have two of the ironing boards now, but I could not pass this one up I only paid three dollars for it.

Is anyone still out there?

Hey! I just wanted to say I have not completely forgotten about my blog. I hope to get back to posting more often, I have just been enjoying summer so much and soaking up every last sunny shining drop of it.
I must say that although I have neglected my own blog I have been an avid reader on many others, that is how I came across my new background. Go check out Shel's Scraps she has lots of wonderful (FREE) backgrounds and with her very easy instructions they are a snap to install.

I am working on redoing my living room in a more prim/country style I will try to post some picture soon of the lamps Steve made for me.

Me and Doo in our new do's

We both went to be groomed on Tuesday. LOL I finally got my hair out of the ponytail I had worn all summer. I wore it in a ponytail trying to hide a bad mistake I had made back in Feb. I had went to get my hair done and got it dyed and it turned orange, we're talking Carrot Top kinda orange. I went to Wal-mart an bought the stuff to take that color out and then it turned blonde. But all is better now.

Doo he don't really care what his hair looks like, oh to have the dogs life. If he looks a little shell shocked in the picture it is because he was asleep and I swooped him up to snap this photo. I know he was probably thinking "hey I'm sleepin here".

Happy Fall !!!!!!

Yippee! Today is the start of the Fall season, I may have told you before that it is my favorite season. I love the fallen leaves, the beautiful colors, pumpkins, the cool temperatures and the long days.
I really wish we could have a little place out side of town where we have our own pumpkin farm. We could also offer hayrides, sell corn stalks, gourds and of course I would sell my primitive paintin's.
When my boys were young we would rake the leaves into a big pile and they would jump in them, throw them at each other or ride their bikes through them. I'm sure that these memories help spur my love of Fall. The boys no longer want to play in the leaves but Doo loves them he has to chase them all over the yard and this can make for a very long potty brake.

Auction goodies!

Beautiful weather this past weekend so what to do but got to an auction. Hubby bid on this clothes ringer for me and glad he did it goes just great with my back porch laundry.





I also got these great little coffee tins, coffee pot, a really old tin with something horrible smelling in it. Also in this box lot was this Wizard Dri-Cube: ice in a can, with a .39 cent price printed on it, I have never seen this stuff it says you can put it in the freezer and then in a cooler and then back in the freezer.








Also got this old enamelware kettle and this bow saw.
