Some new stitching and some estate sale finds

Hubby and I went to an estate sale this past weekend. The following is what came home with us.

I love this little shoe:

And the really neat thing that I got!!

It really needs a good cleaning but I love it.

I have gotten some pinkeeps stitched up. They are designs from Jenny Hoffman of Country Rustic Primitives and Shelly Auen of Primitive Stitchin. I'll list them on etsy soon.

I sure hope it warms up soon. I need to get in the garage and get some of these re-do's done that I have been collecting all Winter. There was absolutely nothing at GW last week and I haven't made it out there this week yet. It's so darn cold that I don't want to go outside...lol! I heard that we are supposed to get into the 40's next week but that's a long ways off yet. That can change so quickly.

I may need to go and pick up my grandson for the weekend. His mother is going to Vegas which was a Christmas present from the now ex-boyfriend, and now my grandson's father's girlfriend is being a b**ch and told my daughter that if my gs wasn't good in school for the next 2 days, she wasn't going to watch him. So that put my daughter in a bind and of course the "father" won't stand up to his girlfriend. It's just a total mess. I so wish he would have given up his rights in the beginning. He is worthless.

Well that's it for now, nothing else going on. All you friends out Northeast, be safe and stay warm with all that snow that you are supposed to get.

He is missing an ear...I'm pretty sure it was on there in the store so I'm thinking Spaz got ahold of it! LOL!

And now for that big reveal that I was able to get as my Valentine's present!!

Photobucket

Even Spaz likes it!!
Photobucket

This is what I have done with it so far after giving it a good cleaning!! I think I have about 3 different time periods going on here though so I think I might have to take the pewter out of here. Spaz is gonna have to go too...lol!!

Photobucket

So that takes care of all my shopping from last week. It's still cold and snowy here. Not even close to what all of you have gotten in the past couple of weeks though. What we have gotten in the past couple of days has been just enough that makes the roads and highways treacherous. A number of our highways and interstates have been closed due to the winds just whipping that snow around.

I almost forgot about these goodies that I got from Janet over at Winter Willow Primitives last week also.

Photobucket


Well, I think that's all. I'll try not to make my next post so picture heavy! Hope everyone is staying warm! Have a wonderful week all!!

I do have a lot to share with you though and hopefully I will get that accomplished later today or tonight, or maybe tomorrow...ha!! I will warn you, it will be picture heavy as I have GW finds to show you, what I got for Valentine's Day from the Estate Store and other Estate store finds!!

In the meantime, I hope you all have a wonderful day!!

A couple more Goodwill finds

Hi friends! Hope your week is going good and you are staying warm.

Here are a few more things that I found at Goodwill. Not much at all lately. I need to get into Omaha and check the stores out there.

Most of that I will do some tea staining and painting whenever it warms up. That darn animal today saw his shadow so it looks like 6 more weeks of winter...YUK! The Pfaltzgraff dish I will list on ebay to see if it sells. I also found a bunch of painting pattern books that I will list on ebay also.

That's pretty much it around here. I'm still working on my big cross-stitch project but I will probably put that aside so I can work on some Easter stuff.

Have a good week all!!
