A Quick Trip

Saturday after the Camas Vintage Street Faire Mike, the girls and I headed to the beach property. We have not been there sense July 4. And man could you tell. The grass was tall. The spiders and mice were hard at work. Sunday morning the sunshine came out to greet us.

I look in wonder at all the work that goes into a web. Must be equivalent to spring cleaning???

My favorite rusty metal bed frame....

I am a little under the weather today, however I saw a recipe for Buttermilk Pie and had to try it.

If its good I will post the recipe....

For some reason I do not even own a pie plate.....42 and this is only my second homemade pie...

So I improvised.

Who said pies have to be round?

Hope you all have a fantastic week.

And here's to all you bloggers who take your own pics instead of borrowing...

Much more intriguing.

The Big Fish & A Little Sewing

Happy Tuesday!!!

Thought I would share my beautiful whites with you.

This chair I received in a trade from my friend Debbie.

It is down wrapped and the most comfortable chair I have ever sat in.

She made this wonderful slipcover for it which makes it even more special.

I have added some down pillows to make it oh so soft!!!

Ok, so you all know sewing isn't my cup of tea. It's not that I don't know how. I am a former quilter, its just I cant find the time. With soap & lotion making, working full time, being a mom of three girls and my junkin fun there is just no time.....However, I had this problem with a pillow cover that just wouldn't stay closed. The pillow kept falling out driving my little mind crazy...

Sew I Sewed two little buttons with ties and ta da.....Problem solved.

Very Pretty!!!!

Saturday night Christopher caught the biggest Chinook Salmon I have ever seen.

It weighted 45lbs. I have never seen one up close.

Boy are they ugly and some serious sharp teeth.

This fish took Mike over an hour to cut it up and two batches of brine to soak it.

It turned out sooo good!!!

Be sure to come by Saturday and say "Hi" at the Camas Vintage Street Fair.

Check out the Kindred Roses Blog for more info.

Also, I will be taking over some new treasures to Monticello so be sure to come check it out.

Have a great week

Happy July 4th

I hope everyone had a fantastic July 4th.

We headed out to the beach property for a 3 day camp out.

Mike took me on a drive Saturday to get some shots of my favorite little town.

I love Oysterville, WA. It is a quaint little town North of Long Beach.

It is filled with beautiful historical homes that I would love to have!!!


The sun was out and people where to doing all the things they love to do.

That window was filled with the most incredible display of vintage bottles.

Love it!!!

My sister Deb and her husband Ken came out to join us for the firework festivities.

This is the first time I have seen her since her surgery.

She looked great!!!!

Here is Mike, notice I cut out the beer in hand!!!!

Benelli got a real workout this weekend.

Running after all the birds and playing with Debs dog Ranger.

Mike bought me this hanging basket from "The Basket Case".

They carry the best selection on the peninsula.

I have a busy week planned.

Work, make soap & lotion and get ready for Expo!!!

Hope you can make it out to see Christa and I at the

Portland Expo Antique & Collectible show.

1400 vendors will fill the inside and out.

You will find us at space #117 outside.

Have a fantastic week

A Trip To Redmond, OR

This past weekend Mike and I celebrated our 17 year Wedding Anniversary. So we headed for Redmond, OR for some R&R. We stopped at the Petersen Rock Garden along the way. Cute vintage metal garden chair!!!

Look at this amazing view.

The Three Sisters.

Here is Shelby. She celebrated a milestone birthday. Sweet 16!!!
She brought a couple of friends along for some fun in the sun!!

Here is the view from out of our back deck. We stayed at Eagle Crest Resort. What an incredible room we had!

Hi Sidney!!!

My favorite part of the room. This corner jetted tub. Soooo relaxing.

Be sure to check out the Kindred Roses Blog to see all the treasures I carted home>

I will be posting them this evening.

Have a wonderful day.

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

What a fantastic Weekend at JBUGS

JBUGS or Bust!!!

We were greeted by great friends who came to shop and laugh. Hi Betty

Saturday Marci and I did our first show together. Christa was busy with her pink hat ladies so Marci was gracious enough to accompany me. Our hosts were Lisa Goad and Peggy Stacy. Together they formed Junk Between Us Girls...Blog on its way. Here is a pic of the Barn on Peggy's Farm that housed her wonderful treasures.

The weather was perfect and so was the company.

Here are some pics of Lisa's incredible house. Straight out of an issue of Romantic Country Magazine.

Marci and I were in heaven. Here is a picture of Marci and Glens room.

Here is the cabinet that was in my beautiful room. Don't ask me why but I forgot the pic of the bed.

Trust me, it was gorgeous.

This is her formal living room. Sorry the picture is so dark. Every piece of furniture had this wonderful creamy white slipcover with lots of ruffle. Oh, and not to mention every room had a chandelier!!!!

This beautiful Mountain graced us with its presence at the show.

Here are some photos of our booth. This is Marci's antique bed, which of course sold! And the pillows.

Marci also brought with her this great vintage iron crib.

Better pic of the bed with vintage signs. I don't think either one of those came home with us.

Our Booth. Even had a surprise visit from Lisa, her blog is "A Thing for Roses".

Lisa and Peggy, count me in for the July show!!!
