24 Sets of Pillowcases to finish

-
So much fun over the weekend. I went to several yard sales and had the best time. At one sell I found 13 SETS, not individual but SETS of pillowcases all folded and printed on ready to be embroideried. I was so excited. I thought that was the golden find of the day but it wasn't. On to several more sales with hubby and picked up a few small items and we were getting ready to head home because I have to promise hubby we get to go out to breakfast if he goes yarding with me first.

So we were headed to the restaurant when we saw one more sale and decided to stop. By now we were running low on funds because we only take a set amount yarding that way we never come home with regrets. So we stopped and while hubby rummaged through the manly stuff, such as tools, hunting and automotive items, I found a box. It was priced $5 for all. It was a treasure....full of new folded stamped pillowcases ready to be finished, new material (yards of it all folded up as it had come from the store), knitting needles, crochet hooks, pattern books, yarn and more and more goodies. I was so excited..but I couldn't carry it and hubby wasn't looking so I stood guard until I got his glance....

It is all mine. I brought it home and there was another 11 SETS of pillowcases. I now have 24 SETS of pillowcases to finish and put into our Etsy store. I told husband I just laid up my winter supply. Yards of material that I have washed, ironed and folded and are in my material cabinet ready for whatever pops into my head. All accessories are now put away and I am so excited to get to work on them this fall....

Just another great day yarding with hubby..

Removing and replacing our old pathway

-
Image
 We moved into our home about 15 years ago at that time we decided to place a walkway down through the yard to a firepit.  Our family loves to sit around the backyard fire and roast hotdogs and marshmallows.  We haven't done much to the walkway except spray it once in a while with weed kill but today we decided it was time to remove and repair.  So we began to dig out the bricks..it was amazing how some were buried and some were broken.  They all were beginning to sink down deeper and deeper. There was a lot of moss that had even grown over the top of them.  But hubby and I worked together and got them all dug up.  The pathway went from the deck to the firepit ring.  All of these bricks have been recycled we would watch for free ones.  Sometimes just driving down the road there would be bricks with a sign take all you want.  So some of these bricks have different says on them.  We also enjoy using our dutch ovens....

Vintage 1960 "Sunny Suzy" ironing board

 I purchased this little ironing board, with it's original cover and iron from the lady who purchased it in 1960. She had it put away for her daughter who never got to use it.  So it was kinds sad for her to sell it but I just fell in love with the bright colors of it.  The legs are a little stiff to put up and down, and a little tarnish in places but just a fun little item.  This was back when little ones used to watch their momma's iron.  Not to much of that being done now-a-days, but a great item. This one is newer and I find it's just a great little one, it also comes with an extra holder for the iron.  So sweet and they both can be folded down flat. These will be on sale on a couple web sites and also if still available at the Nez Perce Fair Building on February 16, 2012 at our first vendor showing for the year....
