My New Tree


Crape Myrtle! I always wanted one of these so I grabbed it today.

They come in so many colors, Light Lavender, Dark Lavender, Hot Pink, Light Pink, Red, White.

There so beautiful and they bloom through August-September depending on which one you choose. Also this one "Tuscarora" has pretty orange & red foliage in the fall and they are deciduous.

Then I have never seen this succulent and went nuts for it. I don't normally grow cactus but I saw the trailing feature and these little red flowers. They lady at the garden center did not know the name and no tag so I'm trying to find out the name?

New Creations For Estate Sell


I bought several candle holders at a thrift store and decided to make cake plates or just plain show off your stuff plates.

My beautiful "Bavarian Plate" on this one I did not know my only one candle stick was not even so it's crooked! Aghhhhhhh of course it had to be the expensive one :(

These will go in the shop (actually Estate sell) to sell. I thought it would brighten up the place and make something different from what we have.
Pretty china plate
This crystal snifter glass was perfect for this pretty Japanese Plate.

More Of The Estate Sell


This is a Dale Tiffany Lamp that I got years ago and I'm ready to get rid of it. After all it's not my colors anymore. I wish you could see this lit at night because it is beautiful.

This is a Crystal Decanter Set from Italy that my M.I.L. gave me years ago.

More kitchen stuff

So many baby books some are very collectible now. More boxes next door too, where we store extras.

Tons of baby clothes, I think some women had nothing but boys?

Sorry about the poor picture quality but I hate to take the time to adjust my camera :)

My Mother and I collected these little fruit tea pots for years.

Tons of beads and jewelery making

My collection of Salt & Pepper shakers

Toaster salt & pepper, bicycle with crystal set.

A man wanted to get rid of his pine cones because he was tired of lugging them around, my sister is like "yeah its all I need is pine cones" when he took her to the truck there were over 20 bags full of these huge dudes!

This was a small bag and then there are huge bags, I'm thinking Christmas!

Hand made!

"Pearls Store"


Well I finally have some help so I'm busy like crazy getting stuff done. We have vacations to consider for some of the family who are helping out, and then we are open for business! This is an old cabinet that was hand built and very primitive. The guy that made it is no longer with us so we have tons of his stuff. Enlarge picture to see glass ware, and we have more all over the store.

Added more to this area and still have more to go

Lot's of pretties

A old dresser filled with linens and some hanging out. And a old lamp that my mother gave me.


And of course Witchy Poo will be here. I'm going to put a hand in the box to scare people.

A very heavy Marble top coffee table

Stuff is still in disarray as we have tons of stuff to go through.

Hand painted linens

We have a baby corner, I filled up this entire lattice "after" I took the picture. And we have bins of very nice clothes.

A little Victorian doll

Glass ware

Beautiful blue bowl that is translucent with a candle in it.
Lot's of crystal

Lot's of copper molds napkin holder, measuring cups, miniature molds, candy tier.

This was a fun find

These box's have never been opened, and yes it smells like Vick's! There's much more but not camera ready yet so I will try to show more tomorrow.

Has Anyone Seen One Of These Before?


This was my Grandmothers Vase and it's hard to tell here but it is very translucent glass with a hand painted sunflower. Has anyone ever seen one of these before? It sat in her home ever since I was a young girl. There are no markings on it except a small 3 in paint.
