 Look what I found on our road trip to Louisiana.






Well first let me tell you about this McCoy vase.  Last weekend at the estate sale that we went to I just happened to see this McCoy vase so I put it in our pile.  When they came to give us a price on each item the guy said oh look this is McCoy I say yes but there is a crack in the back so he prices it for $1 whoopee for me.    With a little love this old vase will last forever.


The tea cups where found at a flea market in Louisiana for a dollar a piece  my idea is to make pin cushions out of them.  It seems that lately I am in love with pin cushions.


These  cute little ceramic pets where also at the flea market.  I just could not pass them up. At first I only pick up one of them for a gift.  But I had to go back and get all three just thought they where to cute.  I am thinking I will replace the pin cushion in them to make the brighter.  Maybe I will get to that soon?


This little draw set was kinda hidden but I found it. (sorry there is a glare but the draw says buttons)  This will go great in my sewing room.  Can not wait to get it all fixed up.  Here and there between quilting I have been trying to declutter my sewing room.  It is still not there yet.  I can not seem to get it arranged just right.  But it will soon be there.   Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

  3. Donna, I love the little sewing organizing drawers you found! And I think it's fun that you are organizing your sewing space at the same time that I am. We can cheer each other on. :-) It's going to take me a bit of time, cuz I"m just getting started finding the pieces I want to use. Went looking for bookcases today... I think I found one that will work, but will have to go back with DH tomorrow.

  6. What a find...did you have any great food while you visited my sweet Cajun relatives. My mom is from Texas...Dad is from Louisiana. Miss that food terribly but I do make a great gumbo. What a great time for you all. Smiles...Renee

    I have a little set of drawers something like that (same style) that was my grandmothers. I have it in my sewing room too.

  12. Hello Donna! The bloggers in Brazil tend to have special stamps for the blogs I like. It works like this: I put a posting on my blog saying that I am offering the right label to blog, I go to the blog and inform the person who has to stamp it on my blog, one copy is the seal and post it to your blog. So, I mean you have to stamp on my blog, go there to get it.
    It is with great affection I offer to you this seal.
    Be blessed one week!

  13. Lucky you, Donna! I understand that those McCoy vases are normally VERY pricey. And you KNOW how I love turning little vintage vases and whatnot into pin cushions! The dogs are adorable!
