The days goes by so fast
I cant believe a week has gone by! Last Sat. am my neighbor and i had a yard sale. The weather was brutal, just so hot but Iris and I had a nice time and sold some goodies. She realllllllllyyyyy sold a fortune in children's outdoor play items and car seats. The best thing was a train set she had where your tot could sit on it and it would go on the track around your yard. What kid wouldnt love that!
Me i sold some old items like an antique child's wheel barrow and gardening set, a couple of old radios, old glass ware and stuff like that super cheap, my hardly ever used bread machine went for $1.00, i just couldnt stand the clutter any longer.
Thank goodness we had dinner plans as the heat wore me out and the last thing i wanted to do was cook, so seeing some comfortable friends, the kind where you can come in a t shirt with an unnoticed stain, and say things unfiltered without them saying your a weirdo or even caring.
Lori and Greg McMullen just moved into their beautiful home and invited us and Molly and Derrick Justice, and Beth and Greg Miliken over for a delicious dinner. Lori is a social butterfly and a really wonderful host. She had drinks and snacks prior to her spanish pasta and 1905 salad dinner.
Pictures were taken but as usual most of them came out too dark but thought i share those that somewhat turned out. And its a great excuse to show off one of Greg's work. He's a talented painter and a collector of folk and outsider art, their home is like a comfortable gallery.
Derrick makes the most beautiful furniture and wish i had pics of some of his work as it is pretty incredible, maybe he'll get Molly to get him a blog going so he can sell to the masses!
Derrick me and Greg, somehow i always find the booze and food. Oh look at that great iron gate in side and the view of the pool.

Collecting is Adicting!
Well thats a posting on Tdipt blog and its so true! I have tons of collections and cannot stop. Although i am having a yard sale sat. to get rid of some things i'm tired of, i'm sure i'll use the xtra cash to find something else needed in a bare spot in my home. Love love love architectual rusty chipppy and faded things, they are so frail and beautiful and craftmanship in these items is above and beyond the massed produced items today.
here are some pics of a small amount of my tons collections
Love the old colors and graphics in these tins on top of my fridge, geeze i think i can get a couple more in there!
and something about old garden tools and flower frogs make my indoors feel like a country outdoors, does that make sense?
Happy Collecting!

Love vintage dishes, they really enhance our holiday dinning experience
Happy Collecting!
