Since finding the vintage maple syrup tin, I've been looking around on etsy to see what other maple syrup containers are out there. And I found one seller who sells quite a bit of vintage maple syrup stuff - Sea Glass Primitives. Look at the fun graphics on these things! source Sea Glass Primitives source...
Vintage Syrup Tins
While rummaging around an antique store the other day, I found a new thing to collect that I didn't even know existed. Vintage maple syrup tins. Or at least I think this one is vintage. It has vintage-ish graphics on it and doesn't have ingredients listed on the can nor a bar code, so I'm...
But, They Really Are Beautiful
On the way back from Cleveland on Friday, I stopped off at a Goodwill store about 1 ½ hours north of here. I've probably only been there a good handful of times, since it's only a trip that would make sense if I am passing by that exit already, but for some reason I have...
A Teenager? Really?
Today is my son's 13th Birthday. Where did the time go? I am not old enough to have a teenager, by the way. I guess if you want to get technical and be picky about it and sit there and count the years or something, I am actually old enough to have a grandchild. But...
One Ringy Dingy
I bought a cute little vintage toy phone at the antique store for $6.00 this weekend. (roll mouse over photo to see original photo SOOC) From the photos it looks like a full size vintage phone, but it's only 5" long by 3" tall. Very petite for a toy phone, I think. It almost looks...
Croquet Box Anyone?
In August, I expressed my love for a vintage croquet set that I found. Since buying the croquet set, I have only played it a few times. It's actually hard to find people who want to dress up in white ankle length dresses and tap a ball around the yard on a hot summer day,...
My Krafty Felted Lampshade
When I bought this hobnail lamp it had a pretty basic lampshade on it. I thought I needed something a little more fancy. Well, I worked on it this weekend and this is what I came up with. Blinged up felt flowers on a kraft paper slipcover. For the felt flowers, I used an iced...
Top Ten Lists
My family and I had a wonderful Christmas and have been enjoying some fun family time while my son is out of school for the winter break. Lots of dog walking, playing with new high tech gadgets and way too much eating. Good news is that there are no fattening Christmas cookies left in the...
'Tis The Season
I think the most beautiful thing about writing a blog is all the friends that I have made that I would have never met if not for this internet thing. Thank you Mr. Gore. And thank you all for following along with me this year. Whether you visit daily, weekly, monthly or just whenever you...
