TREASURES FROM HOME

Last Thursday afternoon I took off work and planned to head to my parents for a quick trip to the North Georgia Mountains for some family heirlooms to be passed on down to me. Being my dad had already cleared out his playhouse in the back yard I knew I better get on up there or all the treasures would be given away or in a yard sale.

Again some pics are little blurry...I really need to start shopping for a camera but I just have not had the time or the cash for what I really want. Maybe in a couple months I will actually start looking for what I want.

Anyway here is a few things I brought home.

More dishes...
this is a box of crystal goblets and desert cups which are long stem...very delicate so I decided until I get me a china cabinet I would leave them packed up. Yep I am on the hunt for a thrift store china cabinet. I really don't want a new one...just not made like some older ones. I have found a couple at the thrift store I visit often but nothing has jumped out at me yet. I hope soon though.

plant stand I plan on painting black or maybe another color. I am loving all these bright colors of the summer.

silver teapots

more silver...see the ribbon and twine in the background...I still have not started on my ragamuffin garland that I shared material a month or so ago...just waiting for the right time to do this...I guess the summer months I just don't get into the creative mode like the fall months that I enjoy more....

silver platter...some date back to 1965 that were given to my father from some of his MYF groups...my father is a Methodist minister if I have not shared this before...still preaching for over 50 years...retired 3 months and came out of retirement...

box with some candle sticks...plan on using them a lot

during the Halloween season....

the middle cloth is a table cloth and two end ones are bedspreads....lots of other crochet blankets for the fall...few summer ones also...or do you have fall and summer blankets...you all might not but I do... I categorize mine by the colors and the weight of the blanket.....

I also picked up a potato/onion holder made out of wood...you know what I am talking about...

Well I also got a few knick knacks but never took any pictures...must do that later and share another day. Hope you enjoyed seeing my new goodies even though it wasn't a yard sale it felt like one to me.
