Little Treasures
Time for "Show and Tell Friday" hosted by Cindy @ http://romantichome.blogspot.com/ Thanks Cindy for hosting this event again this week.
I know many of you have probably seen these old sewing baskets around before. Apparently they were very popular at one time (early 1900's). I got this one at an auction many years ago and it is in good shape - many of them did not survive. Yes - that is where I keep my needles, thread, etc. You can tell I don't sew much anymore. :) The hat stand also is very old and it was given to me by someone who got it at an auction at a very old store in Arkansas. The hat I found at Stein Mart, and I added the flower. No I don't wear it - It is a child's size. An adult size was double the price and I don't wear hats anyway. :-) I just thought the stand needed a hat! :-)
This is my contribution to "Show and Tell Friday". Be sure and visit Cindy to see what she and the other participants have to share this week.
The weather is suppose to be great this weekend, so I plan on getting a good dose of Vitamin D! Have a great weekend!

Outdoor Wednesday
First I want to thank everyone that left the sweet comments on my miniature greenhouse post. After the holidays I hope to add more to it and also work on the San Franciscan doll house. That is the doll house I had to walk away from for a while, because I got frustrated trying to put the flooring in.
I am linking to "Outdoor Wednesday" hosted by Susan @ http://asoutherndaydreamer.blogspot.com/ again this week. Thanks Susan for hosting this weekly event. My contribution this week is 3 more of the beautiful horses.
Candy Coated Champion:
Mari Posa:
A Ride in the Country:
Hope you enjoyed seeing more of these beautiful horses. Be sure to visit Susan to see what she and the others have to share this week.
Rained off and on all day yesterday, and a very gray, dreary, chilly day today. Hope it warms up for the rest of the week with sunshine - I am knee deep in leaves again and need to do something about it.
Hope you are having a great week.

Miniature Greenhouse
ETA: I am also joining "Sunday Favorites" with this post since the original was posted in January. Chari at Happy to Design is hosting the weekly event http://happytodesign.blogspot.com/, so be sure and visit Chari to see what she and the others have to share this week.
I am late!! I knew there was something I was going to do last night or early this morning. Join in "Show and Tell Friday" hosted by Cindy @ http://romantichome.blogspot.com/ Thanks Cindy for hosting again this week. I originally did a post on my Miniature greenhouse in January and tried to post the original post here, but it was showing all the comments made at that time. I need to go to "Blogging School" . :-) The pictures were put in photobucket before I learned how to make them bigger, so sorry they are a little on the small side.
Bought the terraium container on clearance at HL several years ago. It already had the green crackled paint on it when it was bought.
The potting bench was originally a mini drysink that I whitewashed, and the table and the door I made out of scrapes of balsa wood and whitewashed them. The handles on the door are earring backs. I made one of the plants from leaves off of a faux plant and the rest I bought here and there - where ever they were on sale.
See the kitty playing with a ball.
I added the shingles on top.
Thanks for touring my miniature greenhouse. Be sure and visit Cindy to see what she and the other participants have to offer today.
Have a great weekend!

Show and Tell Friday
Another beautiful day here in the MidSouth. It is Friday and time again for "Show and Tell Friday" hosted by Cindy @ My Romantic Home" http://romantichome.blogspot.com/ Thanks Cindy for hosting the fun event again this week.
This is about another one of my unintended collections. :-) Pottery pitchers. Sorry the pictures are not bigger, but I already had them in photobucket at a smaller size and did not have time to retake them .
The first one had belonged to a friend many years ago. I told him that if he ever decided to get rid of it to let me know and I would buy it from him. My birthday was not far off and he gave it to me for my birthday. I saw a picture of one just like it in either Country Living or Country Home around the same time, and it was just called "painted pottery". Also saw one like it at a flea market with a large chip and the dealer was asking $60 ! !
The next 2 solid blue ones I ended up with as my daughter was getting rid of some things that was passed down to her that had belonged to her Great Grandmother. I claimed these 2 blue pitchers. The one with a raised design is old, but not sure about the other one as there are no markings to go by. The blue and white with the cow design once belong to my Mother - I don't think it is old, but is a reproduction.
Now I have a collection! The brown one is old - I got it at an estate auction of a relative.
That is my contribution to "Show and Tell Friday" . Be sure and visit Cindy to see what she and the other participants have to share this week.
Have a great weekend !!

ETA: Just remembered I did a post on these pitchers back in Feb., so some of you may have already seen them.

Same trees now - October, 2009
More pretty Fall color - The Hickory Nut tree that hangs over my courtyard. Picture taken Saturday, and those leaves are now falling - guess what I need to do ?!?!?! :-)
