Vintage reds

Maybe some kitchen linens??
I thought this vintage linen would be perfect to make some
 cute little kitchen curtains out of! I just use about napkin size
on half of my window above my sink. That way the top can still
 let light in if they're closed.


I couldn't pass this sweet little hanky up, so
I had to purchase it :) ((Smiles))


Happy Thursday!! Loving this weather we are having! Sunny and
 pretty warm! That's my kind of weather!! Hope you enjoy your day!!!

Bountiful Seed Company//Barn Sale Treasures

Hello there, I hope everyone enjoyed their weekends. It was a pretty nice one here. My mom and I went to a big barn sale, found some really neat treasures! This place was unbelievable, I would take it in a heart beat! It use to be an old horse farm, possible racing but i'm not sure, they had soooo many old barns and the different vendors were in all these cute little rooms, and we got looking around and they used to be the old horse stalls! SOOO COOL! Another area use to be an old wash rack, it still had all the piping to connect the hoses. Beautiful grounds! They had a huge gorgeous house, a guest house, and another cute little house where the grounds keepers probably stayed. Several big barns, they still have a few horses, and so many antiques sitting around!!! AHH I was in heaven! For the stalls they had the tie stalls with all the original wood and wood floors, then they also had the box stalls with the huge sliding doors I would love some of those in my house!!!

Moving along to the treasures!! I found this old seed tin that I fell in love with!
It was only $4.00! I just had to have it! lol.




Thought it was so cute! Here it is sitting on my little table when you walk in the door. I thought maybe we could put our keys in it! :) 

OOOOh my goodness I absolutely LOVE this,
I was so excited when we found it! It was full of brooches (which I love those too!) and mom was like see if they'll sell this along with some brooches and they did! SO excited for this find! It looks perfect next to our couch!!


Then I found this very neat chair, and a box and a hammer (got those two things for the hubby!) 

Here's one more shot of my chair!

I also got a very sweet vintage braided rug,((which I'm soo excited about!!)) a small purple quilt and a couple tin trays, haven't took any pictures of those yet, but I'll try to post those as well. And if your wondering mom found her fair share of goodies too! LOL.
Take care, Have a lovely Monday!! :)

Pasture Days ///with the Horses :)

Well before we get to the pasture, here's a cute bird bath out of a vintage bowl at my mom's house. It's out in one of her flower beds. The birds love splashing around in it!!


///Out in the pasture\\\

 Here's
Casey Mare<3
She's such a good horse :)


The three mares, Emily, Little Miss, and Casey



 Little Miss, she so cute. She will lay down, roll, then sit up on her butt and lay down and roll some more. This happens just about every time!!
Have a happy Thursday!! I'm going to get some
hanging flower baskets today!! YAY!! *Are you doing anything fun

A new {little} stack ....sew cute!


I recieved these little squares, in the mail a week or so ago, They are so cute
and full of color! I can't wait to do something with them!
I bought them off etsy from Whimsie Dots.


Now I'm trying to decide what I want to do with them ;)
I have a few ideas~ They're just so cute and sweet!!!
I was thinking maybe a couple placemats, mug rugs, or block a few together and make some cute little napkins, or curtains out of them. For curtains I'll have to block a few other things in too...hmmm the possibilities are endless! Any suggestions or sweet ideas for me?


Hope you take care and have a lovely day!!
~warm sunny wishes~
