BITS AND PIECES

I just love these little hang tags...I'm not sure I'll ever be able to use them, well, maybe if I actually get around to making them myself, who knows. You see, I found these on the Internet and they were so cheap I just had to buy them...really!

This cute little message stand is really a cook book holder, It was given to me by my friend and neighbor,Mary, she is always leaving something on my porch that she thinks "is me". And usually she is right on. She is a "Good Neighbor" and I love her to pieces' You know, she is the kind of person who does more good things by accident then most people do on purpose

I just had to post this picture, this in in my sisters downstairs washroom, it is so pretty I had to share it with you.

This is not my idea of decorating, this is a gathering of prims that I've found in various antique stores in the surrounding towns, you see, there is no antique stores in my little town of Grayling, Hummmm...maybe I should look into that.

I love this game board, it's a game called Fox and Geese. When I was a little girl my mom would draw this diagram out on a piece of cardboard and give us 15 white buttons and one red button and we would spend many hours playing. I use it to display part of my collection of clay marbles. It brings back many fond memories.

I have a fondness for scales, not the bathroom scale, but the type that were used in kitchens. Can you imagine cooking and baking using this to measure. I guess that's where the pound cake got its' name.

Wooden ware is another of my passions, the two pieces in the front are different than any I've got in my collection, they aren't spoons and they aren't spatulas, they appear to be some sort of tool used just to move things around in the pot. If and when I find out I will let you know just what they are used for.

This metal scoop, used in the barn, is now used to hold my oil lamp. We loose power up here a lot and these come in handy. I love the ambiance they provide but to be honest I'm truly thankful to live in the era of electricity and running water, both of which we lose when we lose power.

More metal, this was used in factories to sort out small pieces,  like nuts and bolts, according to Hubby. He's so smart.


Well, that's all for this week,so.....


From my porch to yours,



Blessings on your week
