Loving What I Do

  New display in the fireplace.....

OK, ya gotta love a job where you get to shop all the time,

make cute displays, work with family, meet tons of nice people,

 learn about old things, and give them a new life.

Perfect job. Right?

  Even tho' there are always wrinkles to iron out,  with the help of my sweet fella,

my granddaughter, and my Mom, we manage to muddle thru it all.

  I gather, my husband picks up big loot, my Mom helps clean all the 'stuff',

 (and does lots of other 'jobs'),

 and my granddaughter watches the store for me when I cannot.

 (and helps keep the place clean). =)

We are a team...we work well together, and the work is fun,

 because we are doing it together.

I am blessed, to have the store, to hang out with family,

 and to meet other people when they come in.

Sometimes they come to shop, other times just to visit, or get a hug.

It is a wonderful little world, and I am grateful

 to the Lord for each day I get to enjoy it.

Vintage Laundry Treasures

I'm redoing a little corner in the cottage room

and making an old fashioned laundry corner.

You can click the pic to make it larger and see more detail.

 Here is a very small washboard. I put a tiny nail in it

and used it to hang this old Stain Removal booklet....

on top of old ironing board is a smaller board,

and also an old iron...very heavy, and some clothespins and thread spools.

Love putting clothespins in any old tin I can find...

old clothespins and what nots....

 Some sewing items seem to fit in, too..

and baby shoes, well they go anywhere...

and there is a basket of needlepoint books,

and other sewing goodies too. 

.

  

Here's the washboard that is hiding behind the basket

 and a close up of the top..

Here are some little friends hanging out, too.

Thanks for visiting.
