Got My Goose at Glory B's Cottage...

I had to travel to Austin for business on Thursday this week... and on my way back, I had to go through Geronimo, Texas... and of course I had to stop and visit my friend Beverly at Glory B's Cottage... She was on a little vacation for the past week... so when I got there, her sweet little cottage was overflowing with shabby chic and tattered beauty...

If you live in Texas and you haven't had a chance to stop by... You just don't know what you are missing...

So... while I was there... I picked up a few items... and this one is my favorite...

a primitive goose...

she just called my name...

Beverly thought she had charged too much,  I thought I got a great deal...

what do you think... ?  Isn't she just divine?

She'll find a place on top of the bookcases in my office...

once I finish my office organization later this month...

until then...

we'll just let her hang around in the living room...

Ruby Red in Geronimo!

Something special found on my trip to Geronimo, Texas and Blue Hills Antique Mall... I love Raggedy Ann... and this vendor had her sitting pretty in a bright RED chair...

A good friend collects vintage tobacco tins... so I took this photo for him to see if any of these were tins he might want... but aren't they just the perfect RED to post today?

I'm joining Ruby Tuesday today.. drop by and see who else is seeing RED!

White Wednesday... what is it?

What is it? Do you know already?

found at Blue Hills Antique Mall in Geronimo...

one of my favorite vintage glass patterns...

It's called "Silver Crest" because of the clear rimmed edge...

is it Penton or Fenton? I'm thinking Fenton Silver Crest... (I think the dealer was a little confused....) either way... it's lovely... but a little pricey for me... which is why I came away with just the photos... Down Here in French Lique...

I'm joining Kathleen for White Wednesday at Faded Charm... drop by and see who else is playing today...

Second Time Around... A Tricycle Gets New Life!

Secondhand treasures are my favorite kind. Diane, at A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words, likes to blog about secondhand treasures every Tuesday in her Second Time Around Meme... Today, I'm joining in and sharing one of my favorite "seconds"... Join Diane and see more found treasures...

Several years ago I found this little rusty tricycle at a garage sale for only $5. I bought it because it reminded me of my grandson, Little Einstein. Then, a few weeks ago, I found this pretty little basket at Goodwill for 49-cents. I spray painted the basket white and then decided... to add some daises left over from another project... and some ribbon so I could tie it to the handlebars of my little rusty tricycle...

It's now in my booth at Blue Hills... and if someone doesn't buy it soon, my daughter says she has "dibs" on it... I think I'm feelin' a house warming present comin' on!

a little tricycle... now a piece of art... on it's second time around...
