"My Chores Dress"
Such a cute little dress!! I just loved the little tag and her cute apron.
I bought this from Fran, you can find her Etsy Shop Here.
She has so many cute and sweet things! Lovely primitives!!
And not to mention is she is so super sweet and nice herself!!
Here's where I hung my little dress :) 
And look she even sent along a cute little white bird too!! :) 

Wishing you a lovely weekend!!! 

P.S. Did you hear the news????

I'm so excited I will be moving into a larger booth size at the end of this month at the shop 
{{ Uptowne Shoppes, on state street LaPorte IN }}
So I will be working like a little busy bee! To make new things and to fill up the larger space! :)

Good Morning!

Good Morning! Happy Thursday!
I've been busy feeding the horses, putting new bird seed out, watering flowers, and tending the garden!


While drinking coffee out of my new Strawberry cup :) Isn't it just so cute! 
I thrifted saved it a couple weekends ago Here.

Here's another quilt, I'm going to be putting for sale in my booth. 
 It's freshly laundered, very soft and cuddly! 
And the back side is just as darling as the front, Light purple with white polka dots :) 


On one of our recent Menards trips, Luke and I bought a new cute rose bush.
Isn't she just gorgeous!!!
 I'm excited to plant her on the front side of our fence. 
I've been seeing how you can dry the rose leaves and put them in your 
tea and there's many other uses too!

Hope you have beautiful day!!!

Easy Eats~ What's Cooking

What's been cooking?

We made these easy-to-put-together sandwiches, 
wrapped them in foil and put them on the grill.
You will Need:::
Loaf of bread, (we got ours from the freshly baked area at the grocery store)
Ham, Turkey, or Chicken breast ....your choice
Green Peppers
Onion
Mozzarella Cheese
Tomato

*** You can add Mayo or a honey mustard*** 
~ We didn't this time, but you can always just dip it after the sandwich is cooked too!
Wrap in foil, and put them on the grill for about 7-8 minutes.


They are very tasty!!! Hope you give them a try! :) 


 Another thing we have cooked recently that has been very tasty, 
Kabobs!
As many know you can spice these up however you want to, adding all sorts of things!
*Different meats, no meat, different veggies. I've been hearing about a lot of grilled fruit, so that might be next pineapple and peaches :) 
Are you trying anything new lately? 

Wishing you a beautiful day!

Weekend Finds// SCORE!

Hi there! Happy sweet Friday! 
Already the weekend again! Last weekend we went to a church rummage sale and I found sooo many goodies there!! Then we went on to do a little garage saleing and found a few more goodies!
 Here's what I got! 

Aren't these mugs too cute!?! I think I came to a conclusion that i'm going to sell them in my booth (unless someone on here wants them) $5 for the pair + shipping. And look at that sweet baby wrapping paper! 

 I was so excited when I came across these pretties!! I have so many ideas for using some of them. 
....Hopefully I can get around to one of those projects soon! :) 

  I thought these were neat. 
The package says 1961 Flora Coasters and Stirrers 
 *again if anyone was interested in these ( I'll be putting one or both in my booth )
$2.50 each + ship.

 Oh this little lamb! ....Isn't he the cutest!! :) 

 And love my new Strawberry cup! It's just perfect, for the season is just around the corner! To go Strawberry eating picking!!! One of my favorites!
 I got quite a few new laces and a couple bindings too! Luke actually spotted the scrabble game and I was super excited!! I've been on the look out for one for a while now!! :) 
 How cute are these old McCall's patterns!
 I was really liking the red gingham prints on the one on the right side!

OOH BOY! And I found some wonderful Christmas goodies too!! 
 Some very cute tiny vintage ornaments in the old cigar box and I was excited about the "outdoor" lights in the box still!! It doesn't seem like they were ever even used! I'm not sure if the work, I didn't check yet.


Thank you for visiting and taking time to look!!
 I'm always oooo and ahhhhing over your treasures you find, and I was sooo happy when I found this load!! 
Happy weekend!! Wishing you a lovely one!
Are you doing anything fun? Or going garage saleing?!?

Pin Cushions

Hello, Happy Wednesday!! I've been wanting to share a few of my 
pin cushions I've been making. And here they are!! For the the smaller ones I put them in to a vintage jello mold cup. Aren't they cute!! And I used vintage buttons for the centers.



 A couple of the molds I picked up at a barn sale, I was pretty excited to find them because I already knew what I wanted to use them for! And then a sweet lady that owns a small business in our local town, gave me a few too, after seeing a couple pin cushions that I made!! So nice of her! Her little shop is called "My Great Aunt Lucy's," its a vintage boutique. 



*  *  *
I've listed a few in my Etsy Shop if you'd like to take a look! :) 

Hope you all have a wonderful day! It's beautiful and sunny here, high 76 today. 
Lots of errands to run later and I need to clean the house!!! Lol.

A sweet start to June

Happy June ((already!))
The weeks seem to just be flying by! 
There's just not enough time in a day to do all the things I want to do! Lol. 

Here is a cute clothespin bag I brought home with me from a barn sale. I was so excited to have found it! After seeing Heather's from Vintage Grey, I've been wanting to make one, and this would be a perfect example/pattern for me to start one!! When I seen it, I immediately thought of her sweet clothespin bags that she's been making! :)  


 Vintage hankie scarf I made up for my booth (at Uptowne Shoppes)
{My lady likes modeling things}

Here are a few pillows I recently took up to my booth, I hope someone will give them a loving home :) 

And my other lady has been trying on patriotic skirts. 
I thought this one was so cute, I picked this up also at the barn sale. 
Love how darling the ruffle is and the red ric rac trim.  


 A few Vintage Market Tote Bags went up to the shop (in my booth)
and pssst there's a sale on them too! 

 And here are a couple crochet smell good sachets,
 filled with "Apples and Maple Bourbon" ....these were kind of fun to make! 

Have you been up to anything fun lately?? :) 
Hope you are having a lovely fresh start to June! 
Have a wonderful day!
xo Holly
