Louisiana Finds


Here are the finds that I found while junkn in Louisiana.  I could not believe the bargins I found.   I have been trying to decorate my sewing room and our home.  It just seems to take a little time when you are on a budget.  These cuties caught my eye in a little antique mall.  The little sticker on them say Lefton.  They look like Little Bo Peep?


I think I had mentioned that I am not a collector of pigs.  I know you can not tell by the way I am finding them.  But these Swanee pigs are so darn cute.  There eyes are so precious.  This little pig cookie jar was 1/4 of the cost that you normally find them for.  SCORE!


I found a few pieces of this china.  Just love the pink roses with the grey.  Seems so elegant.



The rose tin and the fire king coffee cup came from a flee market for just penny's.


This Little Bo Peep caught my eye and I knew it would look great in my sewing room on my lavender wall.

I have been doing some secret sewing.  Hopefully I can show you soon.  Today I did some embroidery for my sister on one machine and did some sewing on the other.  WhoooHooo nothing like multi tasking.  The embroidery is for my sister's new son in law.  I sent her a picture to find out I was doing it all wrong.  So it is all ripped out and ready to go tomorrow. 

Well the weather is starting to rumble.  Maybe we will get some rain.  We have not been getting the bad weather other parts of Texas seem to be getting.

Oh my gosh my husband just found Mork and Mindy on TV.  Can you believe?  Today is my sweet David's birthday.  He has had a relaxing day.  Hope ya'll have had a GREAT weekend as well.
