Doing the Happy Dance

Happy Weekend Girls! You remember how stressed I was about getting those horrible neighbors.Well Hubby said I heard the best news they aren't moving in.I didn't quit believe him,but yesterday they were supposed to sign the lease and start moving in.Instead the For Rent sign went back up.Yes I was doing the Happy Dance!!!! They apparently found another house.I'm just so happy it takes soooo much stress off.It'll probably be a while before they rent it because it's expensive for our small town.Plus with the road work not much traffic...Ok so the other day I told you about the old jug I made over.It has a chip on the bottom and no one bought it so I told hubby I make it over and see if it sells...

I actually modge podged the burlap on then wrapped it in string.while the modge podge was wet I rubbed some clove powder on it to make it grungy and it smells yummy.Well see if it sells taking it to market.Will charge $15 for it....Below is the butter churn I was going to keep but decided I really don't need it so it's going to market.It's smaller than most.If it don't sell I might reconsider keeping it.I keep looking at it and thinking I want it but then I look at the kitchen and think I really don't want to jam anything more in there.

And the dress form....Love these but no room...

Hubby found a beautiful large firkin and has asked me several times if I want it.I told him to go pack the load and stop tempting me to drag more stuff in.I have a really wonderful load for market.I just hope they appreciate it and aren't rude.(that's when I get tempted to hoard..LoL..) It makes me want to just drag it back and pack it away till I can find the person who will appreciate it.But truth be told I already have way to much stuff waiting...Well girls 3:30 am will be here before I know it so I'm off to read and hopefully get some  sleep.Warm Blessings!~Amy

Swap Goodies from Robin and Reminder

Just wanted to pop on to Thank sweet Robin for the recent swap we did...It's been a long day and I'm exhausted.This morning hubby and I decided to go on a little Junking road trip.We were disappointed at first.Then I  found a old dress form so that was the start of happiness for me.Then we hit another sale and I found a old rye basket, and some other things..Then we went to this most wonderful sale.I got my pile outside and was tickled but then they told hubby their was furniture in the house.I had no interest in furniture because nothing will fit in the house and selling wise I have to many bigs.Anyhow I heard the lady say Mom was here since 1950 and nothing changed much inside so then I thought I'll just wait outside.Well hubby was taking awhile so I went in.Oh my goodness the treasures were inside.The brothers patiently let me dig in every room and corner and put up with me asking each price.Hubby was patient too.Must of dug for 1 1/2 hours.I found so many treasures.BUT the only thing I sat back to keep for me was a very primitive wood butter churn.I'll take some pics of it in a few days.The rest will go to market or Etsy as I get time.Gotta say with summer Etsy has been neglected...Ok so on to the swap .Everything wrapped so pretty....

Oh such goodness inside..Black doll..Strawberries..Sweetest tiny bees..There is a pic missising somewhere but Robin also stitched me the sweetest pinkeep(even with her poor finger injury) and sent some Dove Caramels...

Here's were some things went.Ditty hung on the pitchfork..

Sweet little bees (love) in the wood bowl and the Summer stitchery pinkeep...

The little doll with the bird necklace....Oh my she is so pretty and just the right size to tuck in...

Thank you sweet Robin for everything.You know you are such a special friend....Well girls hubby is taking me out to the Famous for a cheese steak.Yummm..Oh and a few of you still need to send your info for the swap.I would have confirmed receiving if I got it.There's still time to join in Info is at the top of sidebar.
