Junk I've found

Since it's been so long since I posted much, I thought I would post pictures of some of the "junk" I have found since the computer crashed.


Found these fruit crates at a yardsale. They were either $1-$2 a piece, I cant remember.



Another shot of the crates and a Pyrex bowl.



My Pyrex bowl, 2 recipe tins & a cookie cutter.


Not junk, but I love her! We "found" her on Halloween night. One of the houses was giving away kittens and candy. Her name is Pumpkin. We had to keep with food theme of our cats names. We also have Waffle and Pancake. We thought about Bacon for her, but since we got her on Halloween, and she's orange, we chose Pumpkin. We mostly call her P.


This is some of my Halloween decorating. I made the cauldrons , I found the broom at Michaels for less than $2, the vine pumpkin came from Target.



I found this desk at the charity thrift store down the road for $3. I'm sure it isnt THAT old, but I like it anyway.




These also came from the same thrift. My first piece of matte white pottery. I have it on a shelf in our hallway with some beads hanging over the edge. The books are also stacked on that shelf. And I have the jar in the bathroom with bars of soap in it.



I hit the motherload of mason jars! We found all of these in one of the sheds out back. 117 in all.



We found these in the same shed. I am in the process of fixin this chair up. We are painting it and I got some fabric and foam to re-do the seat. The jars have already been painted white, and the ice cream churn is in our room holding rolls of wrapping paper for now.



Another shot.


That's it for now. I will have to get around to taking some photos of the other stuff around here.

Finding things

I havent really gotten into collecting much pottery, I have a matte white piece I found at the thrift, and I think that's really it. Well, we are always finding things around here. Like this past weekend, we found a sidewalk in the front yard! DF and FIL were fixing the lid to the septic tank, and struck concrete where concrete shouldnt be. It was a sidewalk leading towards the front porch. They were buried under a pretty thin layer of dirt and grass. But anyway, when we first moved in, there were some terra cotta pots stuck in the ground behind the house. There were also 2 planters, or so I thought. I dug them out and cleaned them up a little. They got stuck in the cabinet outside and pretty much forgot about. For some reason, I decided to go out there and look at them again. Turns out one is McCoy, and the other is Regal. I know McCoy is pretty collectable, but I dont really know anything about Regal. I havent taken any pics yet, but I will. I couldnt find the yellow one (McCoy), but I found the Regal one. Here is a link to it:
Anyone know anything about Regal pottery? The bottom says Regal 308 USA.

Happy Birthday Baby!

Happy Birthday Sweetie!
Blake turned 6 today. Where does the time go? We took cupcakes to school today and are having pizza tonight. His party is this Saturday. His theme is Nascar. Who would have thought it would have been so hard to find Nascar stuff locally? I wish I could post pictures, but I'm doing this at work. Soon though!

I'm still here!

I just wanted to let you all know I am still here! Unfortunatly, my hard drive went ka-put so I am not able to really use the internet much right now. We have my sons computer in here right now, but something isnt right with it either, as you can only get online for a few minutes and the pictures and images are all messed up. But I will be back as soon as I can find a new hard drive, and hopefully that's soon!
