Here are a few more FABULOUS FINDS from this weekends JUNKING!

A CUTE SHABBY-WHITE NARROW DOOR-waiting to have CHALKBOARD PAINT in the panels...ROADSIDE PICKUP! My hubby spotted this one!!


OLD CHAIR with PRETTY BLUE paint...


SMALL ORNATE PIECE OF FURNITURE-getting ready for PAINT! I'm not sure what this is...the opening is too small for an adult person (vanity or desk)? Has no original marking for a mirror...anyone know? It has original wooden rollers. My hubby says maybe a wash stand, because it is taller.




METAL CABINET with BEVELED GLASS


Don't know what this is...it was FREE and I LIKE IT!!





An Antique SINGER sewing machine base...I will be looking for a VINTAGE SINK to sit on top for a POTTING SINK in the GARDEN or as a PRETTY DISPLAY PIECE in the right spot. Will show pictures when this is finished!

CHANGE IS GOOD!?

I took the PLUNGE! After all my life wearing my HAIR LONG....I went to a SALON on WED. at 3:00. I said without hesitation, CUT IT OFF!


The funny thing is I haven't been thinking about it, obsessing about it or worrying about it. I wanted/needed a CHANGE! I needed a PICK-ME-UPPER! I haven't been giving myself attention lately....I needed to.

I'm not one to post pictures of myself but I can say, I went out of my COMFORT ZONE getting my HAIR cut shorter than its ever been. I know with some ladies they can change their hairstyle continuously-no problem .....I admire that

Actually, I've learned CHANGE can be FUN! From one sweetie to another.....Roxie

PEACEFUL MORNING

This is what 7:30 a.m. looks like at my HOME on a PRETTY, PEACEFUL MORNING. You know, we all have our FAVORITE spot that speaks to us...the BIRDS are singing, the sky is BLUE, we are in our OWN LITTLE WORLD (even for a moment). It's our TIME to meditate, pray and talk to our HEAVENLY FATHER, or maybe just "BE STILL" and HEAR what our FATHER is saying to us.....

This area of my HOME and PORCH are still a "work in progress". Looking for the right cushions for my wicker swing and rockers- my new VINTAGE GLIDER is awaiting its make~over. But even then, it's my SANCTUARY on a BEAUTIFUL day! Where is your PEACEFUL SANCTUARY?



The fragrance of LAVENDER.....Can you smell it?

From one SWEETIE to another....Have a BLESSED week!.......Roxie

THE $2.00 VINTAGE GLIDER

Here is another VINTAGE GLIDER hubby and I found 3 years ago at a YARD SALE. It was sitting back and away next to a garage. I asked the man having the yard sale was that GLIDER FOR SALE? His response was Yes, I guess I could sell it. I said, How much? He said "I'll take 2". I said "two hundred?" He laughed and said "NO!, $2.00 (two dollars)

These pictures are after my Hubby restored it. He chose a soft green color. He also painted a VINTAGE METAL CHAIR we had that matched it. These sit on our back PORCH facing our field.

As you can see, we LOVE VINTAGE GLIDERS AND CHAIRS. We use them on our property when guests are here, especially by our BON-FIRES!

These 3 vintage metal chairs are our "FAVORITE" so far. They are heavy-duty and have a more distinct shape. Hubby has not painted any of them. They are as we purchased them....anywhere from FREE up to $10

Hope everyone has a WONDERFUL and BLESSED weekend! From one sweetie to another.....Roxie
