Treasures to Share

Oh happy day!!! I am lovin this sunshine!!!

Wanted to share some of my finds from this weekend.

Got this bucket O' rocks at a local garage sale. I love metal buckets and the rocks will find a new home in my back yard.

Here is a buffet that Mike and I went to Gresham and picked up. Buyers beware. I asked the woman selling it how long it was. She had told me 53 inches. No problem, that will fit in my Subaru!!! WRONG. She had mis-measured and it was more like almost 70 inches long. Mike and I had to move the front seats all the way up to the windshield which made getting home a real challenge especially when I had to shift!!!! And Pee!!!!

Look at the detail on this drawer....It was a real steal!!!!


Tight Fit...

Here is a bench that I had bought yesterday that was a hideous honey pine color...YUK
It got the shabby white treatment and looks superb!

I got this dresser last week. When I looked at it online it looked a lovely ivory color. Low and behold when I went to pick it up saw it was a mustard color which is growing on me.. I did take my sander to it and gave it some distressing.

I love this old coffee grinder. Still had some coffee in it. Not sure what language this is, anyone want to take a shot at it???

It is a real jewel.

Hope you all have a fantastic Memorial Day.

Here's to the RED, WHITE & BLUE

What Happened To The Sun

Last Saturday was the Big Day of the Whimsical Wishes Sale. The only person that forgot to come was Mr. Sunshine!!!!!

Instead he sent Mrs. Rain....Thanks a lot....

However, we didn't let it get us down. Friday set up we were blessed by the golden rays of warmth....Oh how I long for Summer.

Here is my daughter and cashier Shelby....Isn't she pretty.

Peggy (the sweetest, most enthusiastic person I know) from Cricket On the Hearth (JBUGS) had some wonderful treasures. We seemed to trade money back and forth all day, she got some nice things from us and we from her.


Sheniquah was ready to greet her customers....Decked out in Vintage Lingerie...
Be sure to look for our October show where we will feature Pumpkin's, Corn Stalks and Cider!!!! Oh and the best Junk we can find....

A big thank you to all who came to support and helped out.

A Trip to Long Beach and Some Recent Finds

It's beginning to look like Spring at our Beach Property in Long Beach, WA.

We made the trek Friday night, only to be welcomed by a long Saturday of RAIN!!! Actually not just Rain, but NON STOP POURING RAIN.

I did get out and do some junkin and take these wonderful pictures.

My plants are awakening from a long Winter's nap.

I found these wicker chairs, and wooden shelf at a garage sale on Friday. The chairs will find a new home on my patio. You can come by and try them out at the
Whimsical Wishes Show
April 25th at my home in Camas, WA.



Here is the Tiffany lamp I also got at that same sale. Can you say STEAL @ $2.00!!!


This Pink Shabby Chic Coffee Table I found at the Antique Mall in Long Beach. I love it!!! It will be making the trip to Redmond for the JBUGS Sale this Saturday.


And this little Green Stool definitely said "TAKE ME HOME."
I am not quite sure what to do with the color. Do I leave it as is or paint and distress it???
What do you think?
Be sure to check out the Vendor Spotlight #2 "Surprised by Joy" on the Kindred Roses Blog.
Hope you all have a wonderful day.
